The First Men In The Moon



Watched this the night it was broadcast. Mark Gatiss is always worth the price of admission, even more so when he's written the screenplay. This wonderful take on the novel by H.G Wells is slightly hampered by a tiny BBC4 budget, but it more than makes up for it in pure tongue in cheek entertainment.

Gatiss is wonderful as Dr Cavor, giving us a glimpse of what he may have done if he'd ever had the chance to play that other Doctor so loved of Sci-Fi fans. 

The DVD is out now, but no Blu-ray!! What's that about? It was broadcast on BBC HD as well as BBC4. Come on chaps, sort it out!
