Eye of the Gorgon (2).jpg

Eye of the Gorgon was eventual SJA producer Phil Ford's first effort in the DWU. Like many of his later efforts, it contained a strong central message in addition to the relatively fantastical elements common to DWU narratives. In this case, the piece centred on the effects of Alzheimer's disease, and how young people might interact with an older person suffering from the condition. Like many stories of the Barry Letts and Philip Hinchcliffe producerships on Doctor Who, it attempted to explain Earth myths through scientific rationalism. In this case, the legend being demystified was that of the Gorgon, a character from Greek mythology.
