About Doctor Who: Black Orchid
The TARDIS arrives in 1925 England where the Doctor ends up playing in a local cricket match due to a case of mistaken identity. The travellers accept an invitation to a masked fancy dress ball, but events take on a more sinister tone as murders are perpetrated at the country home of their host, Lord Charles Cranleigh.
Directed by Ron Jones, Doctor Who: Black Orchid leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Davison, Matthew Waterhouse, Sarah Sutton — 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 science fiction titles of 1982.
