Thank you to the people behind this, particularly Mark Gatiss. Especially right after David Bradley cries over his fireplace with David TennantвЂ™s final line вЂњI donвЂ™t want to go.вЂќ Man oh man.

Yes, THAT scene, with Matt Smith looking back at him with reverence, with that knowing say-all expression, not saying a word but invoking вЂњthank you, you paved the way for us, youвЂ™re the reason we are here 50 years later,вЂќ is so tremendous.

This will undoubtedly feature in the special features.ДЄnd then thereвЂ™s David BradleyвЂ™s heartbreaking performance of the First Doctor William Hartnell, and his journey from typecast crotchety old actor, to beloved childrenвЂ™s star, to the eventual sick man who needed to leave the show before he was ready to let go of the reins. When you think of Doctor Who, you think of Delia DerbyshireвЂ™s tune. I think that theme tune is an integral part of the showвЂ™s iconic nature. If I had any issue at all, it was that we didnвЂ™t get enough of Delia Derbyshire and the Radiophonic Workshop.

I really loved the portrayal of Verity Lambert, and thought her platonic relationship with Waris Hussein was incredibly well grasped. Actor William Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Overview This docudrama travels back in time to 1963 to see how Doctor Who was first brought to the screen. You might even find yourself wanting to visit/revisit some of the classic Hartnell episodes after getting a firmer grasp of what the dynamics were behind the scenes.

I think, even if you arenвЂ™t a fan of the classic series, or Who in general, this will give you more appreciation for it than anything else. Very few stones were left unturned in researching this beauty. Nothing has captured the heart and soul of the Time LordвЂ™s origins better than this docudrama presented with loving care from Mark Gatiss (fan/actor/writer for the show). For many a Doctor Who fan this was the true celebration of 50 years. If you havenвЂ™t yet seen An Adventure in Space and Time, please take 90 minutes out of your life and give this your attention.
