![]() ![]() Still though, it all works really well and with so much hype and fanfare for the current show, it was so nice to have something looking back with such gentle affection – I didn't even mind the appearance of Matt Smith as I thought that was a nice moment and more a nod to the origins than it was to the present.Īgree or disagree - nobody does drama like the BBC. The supporting cast play up their outsider status in a pleasing way, although as Theo says, I'm not sure if Cox was told that his role was to inject energy and color into the film, but his performance is so overblown as to be pure caricature. The tone of the show is affectionate and humorous we are not spared the fluffed lines and the set malfunctions and yet these are given over to part of the charm. The story is presented in an affectionate manner, particularly towards Hartnell, who is probably given a bit too much nostalgic cheer for what he deserves, but he is given his dues and is very well played by Bradley. I disagree with Theo where he says this film presented it as some sort of great cultural moment – I thought the film did a good job of showing how throwaway it was, how little interest there was and how it is more or less a matter of good fortune that the characters caught the public imagination and made an impression that has endured for decades. As Theo will probably tell you better than I, the facts are dusted up in the sake of a good story and the film moves better for it. All through the fuss and hype, I did feel like we were celebrating where the show was right now, not its roots and as a result I was really glad of this film for focusing on the origins of the show. The timing was good because I was glad to have made that connection before all the 50th anniversary stuff kicked off. This was interested to me since I can just about remember the image of Davison as the Doctor but really the actual moments I remember are from the era of McCoy and Baker (an era that brought the show to an end for many years) so watching the originals was interesting to me if for no other reason than I had never seen them. This movie probably won't appeal to people who are not rabid fans of the show, but for those who, like me, are, it's a great treat.Įarlier this year, on the gentle prodding of IMDb user Theo Robertson, I decided that I would go back and watch Doctor Who from the beginning. I'd like to give a shout out to the stand outs, but I'd have to name just about every member of the cast. the production values are top notch and the actors are excellent and look like the ones who played the original roles. Still, the story as written is cogent and should please the series' fans. Almost anyone would have crumbled under it. Doctor Who ran on a killing schedule during Hartnell's term: forty episodes a year, dialogue filled with scientific bafflegab. That's not precisely the reality of the matter. It's rather shocking to me to see him, clean-shaven and well dressed and he gives a fine performance as the William Hartnell of the standard story: old, collapsing under the impact of ill health, but unwilling to give up his claim to fame. There's some fine casting in this one, especially David Bradley as William Hartnell. Somehow she managed to hold this together long enough to create a series which has prospered for half a century, despite the best the suits at the BBC could do. The thesis of the movie is that Sydney Newman chose a novice producer, Verity Lambert, who proceeded to build an unlikely team: the first Indian director of the BBC an actor frustrated at his lack of advancement and the already worn out facilities at Lime Grove. Writer Mark Gatiss, a longtime Whovian, has dug through all the stories and legends and has produced a fine script. Sit Less.As part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Doctor Who, the BBC has produced this movie about the origins and Bill Hartnell years of the TV show. ![]() We hope these materials will support your efforts to guide and inspire your patients and clients to become more physically active and achieve the numerous benefits associated with an active lifestyle. ![]() Each handout can printed and given to a patient or scanned into the electronic health record (EHR) to be added to the after-visit summary (AVS).
