The effects of Doctor Who

Former BBC controller Michael Grade discusses his motive for trying to cancel Doctor Who in 1985 (prior to its actual cancellation four years later by successor Jonathan Powell), singling out its effects as underwhelming and laughable compared to bigger-budget sci-fi films of the era. Grade and presenter Paul Merton then play a clip from the 1984 Doctor Who serial "Warriors of the Deep" to prove the point, with them and the studio audience both cringing and laughing at the choreography of a fight scene and the execution of the special effects.
