davekeanu Well lets be Honest I am Huge fan of Doctor who I love the time traveling and monsters and the sound track. The Theme song is by far the best TV theme song. I would always be exited when Doctor who came on TV I watch every episode but miss out on a few every now and again In 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of the show which i was looking forward to I had they where doing an dictmory of the show of it all began but sadly I missed out on it but I luckily engonh to get it out on Blu ray and what to say I really enjoyed it shows that every thing you want in something can come true and be huge hit on TV. overall great dictmory wroth watching 10/10

SnoopyStyle It's 1963. Head of BBC drama Sydney Newman (Brian Cox) wants a new sci-fi show for both kids and adults. He brings in young Verity Lambert (Jessica Raine) who worked under him before to produce it. She's given an Indian director Waris Hussein (Sacha Dhawan) and a crusty character actor William Hartnell (David Bradley) to play Doctor Who. They struggle with limited resources, the old guard, racism, sexism, and everything else. On top of it all, the first episode goes on at the same time as the Kennedy assassination. Sydney is pushed to drop it after 4 episodes but then the show becomes an overnight hit with the introduction of Daleks.This is a very touching tribute to the old show. David Bradley is brilliant. His deterioration is heart breaking. It has the underdog aspect. It's a great story even if you're a passing viewer of the show.

GenevaDuck One thing the BBC always does extremely well is period drama. In this case, despite the fact you know how it ends, you are drawn into the story of William Hartnell's time as the first Doctor and your heart breaks with his when he is told he is being replaced.David Bradley give an outstanding performance as William Hartnell, an excellent character actor who sees his career in decline to the point he is being asked to star in a 'kiddie' show that is going to make him immortal. Bradley plays Hartnell with all his faults, but he also makes you feel sympathetic towards him. I believe this movie will give Dr. Who fans a new appreciation for Hartnell and his contributions to the series beyond being the First Doctor who seemed to be forever flubbing his lines.I would have given this 10 stars, but the Matt Smith cameo at the end made me sigh and ask "Why did they do that?"

EasyToHateHardToLove I only started watching the new series just this summer, but I'm hooked! In Belgium, Doctor Who isn't well known, so that explains a lot why I'm a rather new fan. I've wanted to start watching the Classic Who's, but I never got to it. After seeing this, I just can't say anything else but WOW! I now understand that Doctor Who has such a legacy and we are so priviliged that it's still on! I loved the cast and how they showed us even the dark side of themselves, by showing us that they didn't really care about the budget of the show when it just started.The movie was fantastic, it really touched me, I cried... a lot!So I think I'm ready now to watch the Classics, but now, first of all, the 50th, so every Whovian out there, young, new, classic fan or new fan, Happy 50th, Happy Day of the Doctor!!!May we have 50 years and more!!
