When a toxic liquid leaks from the pipes, the project is thrown into crisis, and when the Doctor finds himself thrown into a parallel universe, the true danger that faces Earth is revealed ... BackgroundThe 'parallel world' story is something of a staple of most sci-fi series, books or comics so it's perhaps surprising that it took Doctor Who seven years to succumb to the temptation. Inferno is the first story of the seventh season in which fledgling producer Barry Letts had any say in the commissioning and development. Letts was already pushing through radical new working methods and technology, to bring the series into the colourful 1970s. His techniques gave better flexibility to recording schedules, saw less wear and tear on the sets, and allowed more rehearsal time for the actors. Director Douglas Camfield had been working on Doctor Who since William Hartnell's time as the Doctor, and been responsible for the stories that introduced the Brigadier and UNIT to the series. Inferno was his first taste of directing the series in colour, but he fell ill shortley after completing the first two episodes, and had to leave the production. Producer Barry Letts was left to take over the directing duties for the rest of the story. Inferno sees the seventh season of Doctor Who finish on something of a dark and serious note, and in hindsight it's easy to see a series that is struggling to find its own identity after the black and white era of the 1960s. Jon Pertwee's reign as the Doctor would get into full swing the following year, with the introduction of the Master and Jo Grant, and with UNIT becoming yet more central. Season Seven sees Doctor Who in perhaps its most serious phase ever, and with Inferno, gritty realism is the order of the day. | ||
