About Doctor Who: Vengeance on Varos
When the TARDIS is in need of repairs, the Doctor and Peri are forced to land on Varos, a mining planet whose population is entertained and enslaved by a sadistic system of public torture and execution, and find themselves the latest unwilling subjects in this most extreme form of reality TV.
Directed by Ron Jones, Doctor Who: Vengeance on Varos leans on a strong ensemble — Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Martin Jarvis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1985.
