You know, that film is the one bit of Who I've never seen. I really should get it some day. Didn't care for his Big Finish stuff though...

Film gets a lot of flak, it's really not as bad as some make out. And it was most satisfying seeing his Doctor return (briefly) some years ago.

For quite a few people myself included its not paul mcgan thats the problem, he's quite good and fairly popular though I know there was a lot of pearl clutching about that kiss.
My problems with it starts with the daleks, and to be honest there are a few others but those bloody awful daleks are awful ,I have to skip that bit when I watch it or i just keep thinking about how bad they are.

Iirc, it starts with the Daleks but you don't actually see them.

At this stage of Dalek saturation, hearing them is enough
As said upthread, I dream of a series unhindered by constant nostalgia and yet more returns of old baddies. As a kid, there was a 4 year gap between Genesis and Destiny... so when the Daleks returned it was huge, especially as I'd missed the opening titles and therefore it was a surprise to see them.
Destiny was a bit meh, in hindsight, though.

I like to imagine that they just struggled to come up with anything as good as Genesis, but it's probably just more mundane like they didn't want to pay Terry Nation any more or something like that.At this stage of Dalek saturation, hearing them is enough

I liked the TV movie at the time. Although I didn’t like the Doctor being half human. Although of course the Doctor does just talk pish from time to time.
Last time I saw it it felt dated and unnecessarily Americanised (not blaming Americans, I’m blaming the way studios underestimate the American public). But McGann does a good job, and the Tardis was cool.

Will always love the location shots in that one. Just before it all turned into luxury flats.

Russell T Davies:
“I do think we've had a lot of Daleks lately. I think they've been done a lot - people are expecting them every year now. So I think they need a good pause. Hopefully, there's some enemies that will become new classics, but it's always good to move on.”

Lovely thought, thank you, but I’m not that big a fan.
The level I’m at is posters from First Doctor story, Dalek Invasion Earth, on my bathroom wall.
Knitting books by former Time Lord sidekicks and ex-wives of former Doctor actors is a whole other level.

Not sure if we’ve discussed this before, but Ncuti’s second season is shooting before his predecessor’s first episode has aired! We have yet to see an episode of the 14th Doctor.

The Davros actor nails it. Will probably annoy some purists, because of messing with the lore etc

I wish I could get my enthusiasm for Who back.
It just sorta slowly trickled away through the newer series. Gave up mid Capaldi. The nothing against his performance just wasn't getting much from the stories anymore.
Looking forward to doing a bit of a dive through the old stuff again though. The anniversary is a good excuse.
