"It was a request they should never have granted" The time the American's made Doctor Who. But was it worth it? Yes. Although it took SEVEN YEARS to make, it turned out to be one of the most pivotal stories in the history of the series: Time Lords, action chases, love scenes and death, destruction and disaster facing the universe on New Year's Eve 1999. With two Doctors, an old enemy and another now-alone Doctor (this one's from San Fransisco), this 90-minute TV Movie is possibly, to fans or casual viewers, either excellent or rubbish. However, with the graphic CGI and first-time orchestration of the historical theme tune, and stunning performances by Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann (the Doctors), Daphne Ashbrook (Dr. Grace Holloway), and particularly Eric Roberts's portrayal as the Master, this TV Movie, although seen by only 9 Million people in the UK (despite there being no new WHO for seven years!)on original broadcast on Monday 23 May, 1996. With this year commemorating 50 Years of the series, and the 16th Annversary of the TV Movie, this 90 minute special surely is a testament to the greatest show in the galaxy: DOCTOR WHO!
