OH HELL YES. It’s back! We haven’t done a liveblog in a while and I’m told that perhaps this is the only way we can all survive the only appearance of the Eighth Doctor, Paul McGann. Let us all suffer and rejoice while watching Doctor Who: The Movie.
For some of you, this may be your first chance to participate in an event like this, so stick around if you’re unfamiliar with a liveblog. You will soon learn the true beauty of such a thing!
Our liveblog of Doctor Who: The Movie begins at 11:00am PDT. What time is that where you are? Well, the lovely nanceoir created this nifty time zone guide to determine precisely what time YOU will start the movie in your respective place of watching!
At that exact moment, you may press play from the main DVD menu or on your digital file or WHATEVER. We may all be a second or two out of sync, but that largely doesn’t matter. During the liveblog, treat the comments below as your blank canvas of livebloggy goodness. Yell at the screen. Respond to others. Include appropriate GIFs and screenshots. In general, it’s a chance for all of us to experience this film at the exact same moment!
This is my first introduction to both the Seventh and Eighth Doctors, so I’m rather excited. I will watch past serials dealing with the Doctors I’ve yet to see in the coming weeks, but I thought it would be fun for all of us to do this as a liveblog! My review of the TV movie will go up on Monday at the normal review posting time.
See you tomorrow!
…And he flies off into the sunset!
And by sunset, I mean TIME WAR.
Oh, nuWho, you so cheerful!
As rubbish as it is the movie has a special place in my heart because it was the first Who I'd ever watched. I was about ten and super excited. It made little sense but I remember enjoying it.
Eight was my first Doctor and I hope people check out the Big Finish audio plays that feature him.
Chimes of Midnight! <3
Where can one find them? I'd love to listen to them.

Should I drop 80 bucks on the newest EDA series? Has anyone listened to it? Arrrg I'm so cheap I should just do it. God knows Big Finish deserves more than I've given them.
EDA season four is as big and brilliant and epic as anything they've done on the TV.
Warning: Tissues are required.
Yay! (Er, uh-oh, not about the tissue bit!) I did go ahead and buy it. I keep forgetting that I'm making a little more money these days and can afford splurges like this.
Yay!
*sends tissues*
😀
You can buy the mp3 files legally on the Big Finish website! I'm sure someone else will link you to the site itself so I shall link you to the Wiki page for the list of the audios.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_a…
The list does spoil the names of the companions.
The early ones are not that good, but the Eight ones are good from the start!
The first Eight audio is "Storm Warning". It's best to listen to Eight's audios in order.
I can't really hate this movie- it's charming and earnest, and McGann is just a delight to watch. But the audio plays featuring him are divine, and should be checked out. The Eighth Doctor Adventure novels are worth being looked at, too.
FITZ~!

Anji and Compassion are awesome too!
Middle School Who is so great 😀
Thanks everybody. That was fun.
So the final verdict. Personally I rather like it. Everything that's controversial about is has been discussed so much you don't even care about it anymore. Personally I love the TARDIS and McGann really gives a great performance for far too short a time.
What I really like about the film is that it's made in 1996 and just feels very 90's throughout which is great because every era of doctor who is different and this at least gives us a glimpse of what a 90's doctor who could and perhaps should have been, obviously the film doesn't succeed in that but it's not for a lack of trying.
CAN I JUST GENERALLY AGREE WITH THIS
well I'm still going to write a review, but yeah. THIS
If anything it makes you appreciate RTD more. I mean in 1996 they were faced with the momentous task of bring the Doctor back in a single tv-movie pilot and they screwed it up. Meanwhile RTD was faced not only with bringing it back but with an almost impossible order to make a whole season before they had even started having a clue as to how to make just one episode work. He succeeded.
Ah, but one of the reasons it succeeded was because you basically had 1 person in charge. A single creative ideal. This TV Movie was a case of too many cooks. Too many people pulling in too many different directions. IIRC the scriptwriter said thi finished movie was only about 60% what he wrote.
Yeah I think the whole American co-production killed it. Not only did they have to bring it back but they also had to spin it to a new American audience whilst still pleasing the old British audience. They spent too much time thinking about how they could please everyone and too little on actually making something good, sod whether people like it.
Yes, just got to that bit in the documentary. After all the executives putting the oar in, the movie ended up 60-70% what he wanted.
He does, though, make a point to mention that he was 100% happy with the way Paul McGann and the Doctor turned out.
He's not wrong there.

Poor Eight doesn't want to have to fight a war.
YOU ARE WONDERFUL. HELLO, NEW DESKTOP!
I thought I'd saved the motivational version with the caption 'Make love not Time War' but I can't seem to find it.
Awww
That image is awesomeness.
And I am now distracted by Vincent and the Doctor being on TV when I turned off the DVD. 😀
I'll have a proper review/comment for when Mark's actual review comes up, but I'm sitting in my all-day class today bored out of my skull and I just read through everyone's comments on the live blog and I have to say it was quite entertaining. So much love for Eight! (so much WTF for Roberts!Master).
For all it's faults, I love this movie. Paul McGann did not get enough screen time as the Doctor (THANK THE GOOD LORD ABOVE FOR BIG FINISH!) I soooo want him to come back for a 50th anniversary multi-Doctor special in 2013.
Oh my god, all of this. Big Finish basically assured Eight as my favorite Doctor. AAAH, ALL OF THE CHARM.
No kidding. I love the TARDIS thing but I feel so bad for Compassion. That one book where she got mindraped with the random whatsitsname was just so wrong.
This was actually a meh film, aside from a few real WTFs, until the last ten minutes or so when we had Master x Chang Lee, random acceleration of plot, things going boom and some very questionable lines. When my computer wasn't exploding with trying to keep up with the film, my brain was.
Still, this Master just stole my heart when he appeared in those fantastic robes (seriously where did he get them? did they belong to the Doctor? why did he have them? saving them for a special occasion?) and started to pet Chang Lee and get in his face.
THIS WAS A FUN EVENING. I AM SO DOING THIS AGAIN.
HAHAHAHA I ended up about an hour behind, I had to keep pausing. Oh well, but to keep myself from getting spoiled for the bizarro-ness, I couldn't really keep the liveblog open.
So I will be checking out these comments tonight 🙂
Caught up on comments. You all are amazing. Thanks for organizing this Mark. I'm excited for your full review.
