Doctor Who Rewatch | The TV Movie

WHO Corner to Corner | A Doctor Who Podcast

It's about time!
Listen in to this week's episode of WHO CORNER TO CORNER in which our hosts Paul and Geoff travel back in time to the Wilderness Years of the 90s to revisit the island of joy that is the Doctor Who TV Movie.
Starring Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor, featuring Sylvester McCoy's final moments as the 7th Doctor and Hollywood's very own Eric Roberts as the Master, the TV Movie was a glorious big budget, large scale attempt to resurrect a show considered dead and gone by the BBC.
The result of a troubled transatlantic co-deal between Universal, Fox and BBC Worldwide, the TV Movie thrusts the 'quintessentially British' Doctor Who into a landscape of 90s American TV tropes: hospital drama, urban gang war, cop chase and quirky romance.
Was it all too much for this little British show to hold? Was Doctor Who stretched too far? Or did the American framework and the ambitions of producer Philip Segal provide just enough fuel to re-ignite the British public's imagination and prove to the BBC that Doctor Who could indeed return for a new generation?
Listen in as we discuss the TV Movie's ambitions, its flaws and its triumphs!
