Time Lord is embarking on a new stage in his life by getting a chance to explore the amazing space of Police Box.The ship. It seems that the episode produced by Doctor Who made the TV legend in 1963. Fifty years later, this movie was produced based on this honor.
A thoughtful, evocative, and beautifully shot look at Doctor Who's early days (for fans) that also delivers as an intriguing TV production docudrama (for non-fans).
Even for those who don't watch Doctor Who regularly, it's a terrifically entertaining period piece with a lot of heart and appreciation for TV history.
Gatiss has written several Doctor Who scripts, and it's striking to see how he adapts the story behind the story into a vintage Who tale: A tale of misfits triumphing over long odds.
Thrilling—you are there at the inception of Doctor Who!—and deeply poignant, sometimes at the same time...with actors like Bradley and Cox in place, it's difficult to imagine a better treatment.
As a story about how the past became the present (which makes us, in relation to its characters, people of the future), it is very much in line with its subject, and has been made with much the same mix of enchantment and suspense.
