How does one get their hands on this film?
-
I was watching this film recently in its original length, not cut for Commercial Television, i was suprised about just how dark and brutal it was.
In many ways it was far more ambitiouse than the series.
As for it being "Americanised", it was made by Amicus at Sheperton Studios at a time America had no idea what Dr.Who was - the principal venue to see this would have been at the Drive - In, it wasn't made for America.
-
That's the Eighth Doctor. If anything, this is an alternate First Doctor.
-
I LOVE these old movies - I just wish they'd gone on to produce the 3rd and final film in the series. Peter might not be 'canon' but he was one cool Dr !
-
@bluemensch I'm pretty sure it was a Brittish movie all the way.
-
@650bigal Yes. It seems he really was destined to sort-of kill The Doctor after all.
-
@STARPD7 Surprised that no one else has responded. Yes that is Bernard Cribbins. Funny that he also fought the Daleks as Donna's grandad years later.
-
the success of Peter Cushing as Doctor Who convinced the BBC that another actor could play this role and not be anything like William Hartnell.
-
I hate how the 1996 American TV Film's doctor replaces Peter Cushing in the continuity.....
-
Peter Cushing was the only Doctor Who because when he meets the character played by Bernard Cribbins in Invasion Earth 2150 he introduces himself by stating: "I am Doctor Who!" No other doctor ever called themselves that... they just referred to themselves as "the doctor!"

So what if this film was, as someone hinted, Americanized? Perhaps less focus was put on the Doctor, who he was, etc. however, this was still great. The Daleks were made larger than life, the spaceship very erie, much action, the money spent made a difference. It helped make the Daleks a household name. Commercial success came as a result....and underneath it all, I'm sure it was desired by the originators of Dr. Who.
