Watch An Adventure in Space and Time For Free

Nice effects though.

Fresh and Exciting

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Well lets be Honest I am Huge fan of Doctor who I love the time traveling and monsters and the sound track. The Theme song is by far the best TV theme song. I would always be exited when Doctor who came on TV I watch every episode but miss out on a few every now and again In 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of the show which i was looking forward to I had they where doing an dictmory of the show of it all began but sadly I missed out on it but I luckily engonh to get it out on Blu ray and what to say I really enjoyed it shows that every thing you want in something can come true and be huge hit on TV. overall great dictmory wroth watching 10/10

Okay, I watched this quite a while ago and the reason is that I am becoming a fan of Doctor Who, old and new. William Hartnell's Doctor is actually one of the few that takes a bit of time to get used to. If you haven't seen them then... He isn't as likable of a character as his later incarnations. Why am I bringing this up? Well if this movie can get me teary eyed about Hartnell leaving then I congratulate them for succeeding as well as they did.It's 1963 and Sydney Newman, being a well respected show-runner has a new vision in mind for a kids show to pass the time, nothing really special. About a centuries old alien that takes his granddaughter and her 2 Earth teachers on adventures on any point in the universe at any time, at first it doesn't go right with the original pilot having an almost unlikeable title character so after re-shooting the Kennedy Assassination occurs, so they decide to do what they can to make sure it lasts past them in cavemen times trying to search for fire again. So their next story, much to the dismay of Newman is about intergalactic exterminating aliens, They're called Daleks. You wouldn't know them. The rest seems to be history.Before I start giving this praise across the board on other things. The casting is brilliant. Everyone looks like the people they're playing and David Bradley does an A+ performance as William Hartnell, getting down the mannerisms and the way he talked to a tee. If anyone didn't do a good job, it was the guy they got to play Patrick Troughton. They look nothing alike, I don't think he even acted like him, either his persona of The Doctor or otherwise (I've seen interviews with him). But the best thing about this movie is by far how they portrayed Hartnell, not only in acting but in writing. You feel the fact that while Hartnell was a grumpy old man, he towards the end loved doing the show and to see him want to go on but has to face up to the fact that he can't, it's done perfectly. Actually, maybe not perfectly but I'll get to that.Probably the worst thing about it is that it drops some hints towards the new show and the fact that yes, Doctor Who is the most replaceable TV character of all time. Repeatedly Hartnell says he's irreplaceable even dropping it in conversation, It just sounds very stilted and it's almost like "Yes, we get it!". Oh and I also didn't like the Matt Smith cameo. I get it was the whole "look how far this show has come" but he's just thrown in there. Maybe something better would be that he looks at all the Doctors from 3 onwards to 11, I don't know - I just think it dated an otherwise timeless television movie.So, I would recommend it to anyone who's a fan of either show, people wanting to see a phenomenally well done underdog story or people wanting to see a well done true story movie, even if sometimes it took liberties with that happened. Either way, most of my complaints were me nitpicking because there is a lot that this does right.

I'm a relatively new fan to Doctor Who and as such searched out the beginning seasons of the series to better understand the premise and origins of the show. In my opinion William Hartnell Is Doctor Who, and all those portraying the role after Mr Hartnell are reflecting a small part of his performance into their personal incarnation of the Doctor.That being said, I love this film ! It explains so much about the origin and talent that was behind the beginnings if this now iconic sci-fi series, and shows how the persistence and drive of a few individuals can overcome the overwhelming task of trying to turn an idea into a successful TV show. An incredible performance by David Bradley in the starring role. His Bio says he's a fan of Hartnell's and it shows. He seems to channel Hartnell's spirit in many of the scenes, and his inflections and mannerisms are spot on. Jessica Raine was great in the role of Verity Lambert the budding producer, as was Sacha Dhawan as the director Waris Hussein, and a strong support role by Brian Cox portraying BBC studio executive Sydney Newman.This movie captures the look and feel of the early Who shows and is an insightful and sometimes sad story but I highly recommend it to any Doctor who fan, or anyone who appreciates a well executed movie in which the underdogs triumph over incredible odds.

An Adventure In Space And Time is a relatively straightforward retelling of the birth of the Doctor Who TV series, recounting both the sequence of events at the BBC which led to it being commissioned, followed by the stories of the early days, up to William Hartnell's forced retirement as the first Doctor.One of the events commemorating the 50th anniversary of the show, it was filmed at the Wood Lane BBC TV Centre before it was disposed of, and is a superb portrayal of the era in which it is set. Exceptionally well cast (David Bradley, best known as Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films, is superb) and affectionately written by long-standing Doctor Who fan Mark Gatiss, this film - which features a number of cameos form people associated with the programme at the time - is a treat for long-standing fans.My only reservation is how well it will go down with non-Who fans: it is a good film in its own right, so one hopes that it will be appreciated across the board.
