A Timelord has 13 lives ... These days, I wonder what's going to happen to The Doctor when he's on his 13th Incarnation ... will the BBC change the rules? ... Hmm, I wonder ...
i think this theme was the best part of this movie, no offense to Paul McGann who i think is an amazing actor and why oh why is the Master tried on skaro?
@TheWinterbringer dalek justice system= if youre not dalek you must be, hmm im not sure what they might say here... not like they drone it into everyones heads before they do it... :D
I actually liked this movie. Believe it or not I watched it here on youtube and this was actually what made me want to start watching Doctor Who in the first place.
@VGCworld Nah, I'm sure BBC will come up with some reason to continue it. You gotta think, back int he time when they said '13', they NEVER thought it'd STILL be going strong in 2011.
@Suriel1981 Do bare in mind, the Master stole a persons body and also got resurrected by the Time Lords, so the Master was bound to get a lot of lives, but I don't think you'll find the Doctor trying to steal somebody's body. but maybe River gave him hers.
@jamesxkxklass3 The eleventh Doctor claimed to be able to regenerate 507 times in an episode of SJA. I think RTD siad it wasn't meant to be taken seriously though.
@archer1949 Yeah, it's a fun movie to watch. Don't let all the nay-Sayers of this film discourage you. The 13 lives is considered canon. There is a part of the movie, however, that is NOT considered canon. I won't spoil it for you, but see if you can find it in the movie.
I'm just getting into Doctor who. I started with Christopher Eccleston (#9, I believe) have seen 10 and 11 (so far) and am now working my way backwards.
What in the name of God did they do to the theme tune for this piece of crap? It sounds like someone farting Grainer's original classic through a tea strainer.
I watched this yesterday for the first time since 1996 and it still absolutely sucks. It felt like a bad American TV movie from the late 80's early 90's and the Master was terrible in this. I mean Eric Roberts!! WHY?!! lol. What were they thinking!
Sorry watching this again I can see the intro doesn't even make sense let alone the whole film. The Daleks I would think would not dare to even let the Doctor approach their planet without killing him. As well they practically ruined the eternal essence that the doctor had with the 13 lives thing.
@GCRK5 13 Lives had been well established long before the film. Also, the Dalek's allowing The Doctor to land on Skaro was a ploy to gain the Time Lord's trust and throw them off balance so the Daleks could launch their attacks and begin the time war.
Doing the regeneration was a mistake and just confused an audience who didn't know anything about Dr Who. having the starring man appear half way through the film like that Sylvester Mccoy was wasted and it should have starred Mcgann from the start already regenerated, maybe including a back story later would have worked.
@wvdb2217 I wish.... sadly 9 isn't too keen on coming back. There probably will be a multi - Doctor story in 2013 though, in the series' 50th anniversary year.
I think Paul Mcgann was very underrated as the Doctor i think him and not Tennant should have had the role im not saying David was bad but I dont there was just somthing about him I didnt like that I couldnt put my finger on I do however think he was overrated but thats just my opinion and this movie i reckon was brilliant for a BBC tv movie brings me back too when I was 5 when this first came out
@GamerWho I guess they were annoyed at the Master failing them in the Jon Pertwee story 'Frontier in Space'. It was probably the Imperial Daleks that executed the Master.
lol evryones missed 1 massive screw up with this film right from the start,, its bacicaly saying that the daleks let the doctor take the remains of the master back to galifriey yea right thay have been after the doctor for god knows how many years and thay let him leave skaro to go home iam sorry but no chance thay would kill both of them and galifrey was distroied in the time war witch was well b4 mcgan became the doctor how meny screw ups in the first few seconds lol
@batdude657 Actually the last great time war happened between 8 and 9 watch the new series premier and notice how Eccelston looks at himself in the mirror and talks as if he not too long ago regenerated
@batdude657 In the Doctor Who Annual 2006 and the novel 'Lungbarrow', it's explained that Romana, who was President of the Time Lords at the time, opened a peace treaty, between the Daleks and the Time Lords. As an act of good faith, she handed the Master over to the Daleks to face trial for the crimes he committed against them. At the end of 'Lungbarrow', the Doctor was sent to Skaro to fetch the Master's remains. So the Doctor was an acting Time Lord ambassador of sorts.
@batdude657 Plus, the Time War is AFTER this movie, before Chris Ecclestone's time. What bugs me personally, is how Skaro's still there when Sylvester McCoy destroyed it with the Hand of Omega. I guess the Master's trial is in Skaro's past. There is another explanation in the novels that the planet McCoy blew up was not Skaro, but a Dalek decoy planet.
the fact that disapointted me wasnt that it was americanized its the fact that it never lasted that long it lasted up to less than two regular episodes
@StockyStudios The TARDIS doesn't always feature in the titles. In fact, in the Classic Series, it only appeared twice, during the early to mid Tom Baker years and the Sylvester McCoy era.
Does the Eighth Doctor count as 'NewWho', 'OldWho', or is he bridging the gap? I always thought of it as NewWho but thats probably cos there was a gap after 'Survival' and it was trying to start the series again which is what happened in 2005. Then again, McCoy is in it.
Actually the Techno-part isn't 'NuWho', as you put it, but back to the roots; The original 1963 version is among the very first massively popuar completely electronic songs ever.
>>>it looks like american, has mainly american actors in it
.
You mean it has mainly VANCOUVER actors in it. That's in Canada. And you know it's not as if the Doctor never visited America - he did have an American companion for 4 years after all.
@harleykman Its set in San Francisco, what did you expect? lol If it had been set in Africa do you think there would have been a primarily Chinese cast?
Although I guess, everyone in Fires of Pompeii sounded British... in fact everyone in the future of the human race so far has appeared to be either British, American or in the case of Turn Left, Chinese.
@AlexanderT21 But it was filmed in Canada. It was written by British authors, starred British actors (the two doctors), directed by British citizens, funded by British pounds, and so on
.
It's about as "American" as the BBC Rome series or the Planet Earth series... i.e not at all.
@harleykman Ah yes, but American Producers made a lot of changes, like 1/2 human thing they were told to do by US Producers so he wouldn't be too alien!
i know this movie is really really american and does not feel like doctor who at all, i must admit, it's a pretty good film...apart from the chipmunk daleks
@WilliamGrantham I vote someone posts this scene on youtube and edits in different voices for the daleks. Make a new internet fad. Ill start with TEXAN DALEKS!
EX-TER-MIN-ATE! HEE HAW! *numerous laser blasts into both the corpse and the air*
You can say what you will about this movie, but boy, John Debney's score is amazing! And this orchestral arrangement is perhaps the best one, though Murray Gold's 2010 version comes close second.
@cmrmagazinechannel Because It's set in America. But primarily as Doctor Who was meant to change over to American hands, provided this movie was successful. But as it was unpopular in the states, the move never happened.
@07lnel This was established later by Russell T Davies as being a coincidence, as while the rapid 4 drum beat was something that had appeared in the theme song several times in the past, Davies commented that his inspiration for the drum beat that plagued the Master was from his alarm clock.
Well, it got a low US reception because the movie was fucking awful. Frankly, it being was about the best thing that could've happened to Doctor Who, because now, rather than being an embarrassment, it was a national treasure that needed to be reclaimed after being soiled by the Americans (even though the writer and producer were British, but hey).
@bbqplatypus318 I'm confident that Americans could work on Doctor Who without soiling it, it just takes the right people. I blame FOX, not America. FOX is well known for making crap movies.
I agree, I'm just going by what the general perception was. People generally try and disown the film by calling it "the AMERICAN movie" as if it was our fault.
Well, given the fact that BBC considers Paul McGann the true 8th Doctor, I think the movie shouldn't be disowned at all. Although I think the idea of him being half human is utter rubbish.
The U.S. ratings were poor because FOX, in its typical fashion, scheduled the movie up against a football game. That's the same stupidity that caused Family Guy and Futurama to be canceled. Ditto Firefly.
- FOX loves to sabotage series especially the scfi/ fantasy ones. (See wikipedia for Friday night death slot.) And yet, despite FOX's best effort to kill the show, it still was watched by 5% of the U.S. which is about how much the weekly Star Trek Voyager got in 1996.
@harleykman Don't forget that it was a "backdoor pilot". Any time those words were used by FOX it instantly meant "death sentence". How many of those did FOX make in the 90's? about one or two a year? And how many were given shit time slots, almost no publicity, and then not picked up cause the ratings weren't as high as they wanted.
@BloodRayneCyrus It's really just FOX, which never makes good movies or is able to publicize them well. To me, the openning to this looks good, but I've never seen the movie itself.
@tf2whackyengineer Actually I'm also surprised that they allowed their arch-nemesis, the Doctor, to walk in, pick up the remains and walk out without crying "Exterminate!"
MCGann Could come back into the newer series on a special like the 80s episode the five doctors you could have him,eccleston,tennant,mccoy and davidson just as a specail to remind older fans of that classic episode and make the newer audience see the amazing acting skills of the older generation doctors
I think this was a really good Dr Who film and more could have been done after it. It was an attempt to update the show after it had been cancelled in the 80s. I was never a big fan of the show but remember watching a few episodes in the 80s and thought this was a good follow up. The cast and crew did a 1st rate job.
thats a funny fail the master got PAWND 13 times

if you listen at around 0:57, u can hear the 4 beat drum sound, the new master talks about in the david tennant dr who
07lnel 2 years ago
Yeah, that's probably what it's based on?
akiugn 2 years ago
@07lnel This was established later by Russell T Davies as being a coincidence, as while the rapid 4 drum beat was something that had appeared in the theme song several times in the past, Davies commented that his inspiration for the drum beat that plagued the Master was from his alarm clock.

Its because of low US reception that he never became the 8th doctor we should have had...stupid yank TV stations
BloodRayneCyrus 2 years ago
Well, it got a low US reception because the movie was fucking awful. Frankly, it being was about the best thing that could've happened to Doctor Who, because now, rather than being an embarrassment, it was a national treasure that needed to be reclaimed after being soiled by the Americans (even though the writer and producer were British, but hey).
bbqplatypus318 2 years ago
Not to mention it would've carried on as an American television series.

@bbqplatypus318 I'm confident that Americans could work on Doctor Who without soiling it, it just takes the right people. I blame FOX, not America. FOX is well known for making crap movies.

I agree, I'm just going by what the general perception was. People generally try and disown the film by calling it "the AMERICAN movie" as if it was our fault.
bbqplatypus318 2 years ago
Well, given the fact that BBC considers Paul McGann the true 8th Doctor, I think the movie shouldn't be disowned at all. Although I think the idea of him being half human is utter rubbish.

The U.S. ratings were poor because FOX, in its typical fashion, scheduled the movie up against a football game. That's the same stupidity that caused Family Guy and Futurama to be canceled. Ditto Firefly.
- FOX loves to sabotage series especially the scfi/ fantasy ones. (See wikipedia for Friday night death slot.) And yet, despite FOX's best effort to kill the show, it still was watched by 5% of the U.S. which is about how much the weekly Star Trek Voyager got in 1996.

@harleykman Don't forget that it was a "backdoor pilot". Any time those words were used by FOX it instantly meant "death sentence". How many of those did FOX make in the 90's? about one or two a year? And how many were given shit time slots, almost no publicity, and then not picked up cause the ratings weren't as high as they wanted.

McGann was good in it, though.
bbqplatypus318 2 years ago 2
@BloodRayneCyrus It's really just FOX, which never makes good movies or is able to publicize them well. To me, the openning to this looks good, but I've never seen the movie itself.

@tf2whackyengineer Actually I'm also surprised that they allowed their arch-nemesis, the Doctor, to walk in, pick up the remains and walk out without crying "Exterminate!"

IMHO
rather than look for a new doctor, they should have kept this guy for a year before phasing him out. Give him more screen time

Now why would the Master be tried on Skaro why not Galifrey??
Just doesnt make sense also to vapourise his ass! bring him back for the time war then watch him run like a girl when the Cruciform fell!
lol oh well Dr Who rocks anyway!
KellerDweller82 2 years ago
They just wanted to get the word Dalek in there...

Perhaps they decided moving the Master from Skaro to Gallifrey would be too risky.
Or maybe because it wasn't Gallifrey, but the DALEKS who were trying the Master. It makes sense to hold a Dalek trial on Skaro..

I grabbed onto 8th doctor for a new fix, and it did HIT.
now in retrospec, the half human bollox was a mistake, & tbh I love Paul Mcgann, and he did the role great merit, but
Why did the BBC sell off the rights to a nation that didnt know wtf docotr who was?
I blame the Torries and their appointment of John Brit as director general.
He gave teh license scope to langish for another 7 years by selling it to USA, and THAT contract excluded bbc from making a new who until 2003

MCGann Could come back into the newer series on a special like the 80s episode the five doctors you could have him,eccleston,tennant,mccoy and davidson just as a specail to remind older fans of that classic episode and make the newer audience see the amazing acting skills of the older generation doctors

I think this was a really good Dr Who film and more could have been done after it. It was an attempt to update the show after it had been cancelled in the 80s. I was never a big fan of the show but remember watching a few episodes in the 80s and thought this was a good follow up. The cast and crew did a 1st rate job.
