DVD WISH LIST
[Doctor Who (1996)]
DVD Title: Doctor Who (1996)
Studio: Fox/Universal TV (?)
Content Necessities:
It was a TV movie so it probably only comes P/S, surround sound, closed captions, subtitles, THX certification would be nice
Extras:
Commentary by the director and cast (Paul McGann, Daphne Ashbrook, Sylvester McCoy, and Eric Roberts), behind the scenes of production documentary, a documentary (or two) on the Doctor Who phenomenon, animated menus, isolated music track, chapter search
Disc Value:
$20-25
Additional Comments:
It's a darn shame that Fox doesn't know a good series when it has the chance to get one, because this movie was the perfect pilot for one (especially considering at the time FOX's X-Files was on and Sliders was at its peak). The movie was: entertaining (most important!), it had much better visual effects than its BBC inspiration, action, adventure, romance, humor, and it was able to let new viewers in on what Doctor Who is about without insulting the intelligence of the old school die-hards. Paul McGann was awesome as the Doctor's 8th persona, and should be brought back for more Doctor Who movies! (maybe direct to video/DVD?)
