The Feels!!! So many damn feels. Well An Adventure in Space and Time was quite a lovely surprise for me. I had no idea what to expect. I knew it was somewhat of a documentary but that was literally all I knew. 

There was so much heart and soul in this movie that it’s hard not to get emotional by the end of it all. I loved seeing the story of William Hartnell and how he was able to bring the First Doctor to life. It was so much fun looking back and being able to experience in a small way what the show brought to the world so early on. I don’t have a Tardis just yet but it was as close to being able to travel back in time to see how everything came together.  There were doubts. There was hope. It didn’t just express how the show was being made but it was a beautiful metaphor for life in general. 

And when you feel you found something so precious….it makes sense you would want to cling onto it for as long as possible. Props to David Bradley for being so wonderful and iconic in this role. I felt his love for the show. I felt his pain whenever anyone left or moved on. And I felt his sorrow when he knew his time was up. It’s an insanely emotional feeling that I couldn’t imagine going through. 

But this moment right here was the moment that had me balling my eyes out. I wasn’t expecting it. I absolutely think it hit me harder because of how much I love Matt. But the idea that William Hartnell for a moment got to see the legacy the show has left was so beautiful to me. I really do hope he knows how big the show has gotten and how it’s continued for such a long time. I also hope he is proud. 

It’s such an emotional take on leaving a legacy and knowing you have to let go of something you love so very dearly. This moment was impeccable and just really hit me right in the emotions. I guess it would be silly for me to think that Doctor Who December wouldn’t have it’s fair share of tears. This show has been a strange and emotional ride for me but it’s relatable nature is something I will always cherish.

This was,imo,the best thing that the BBC gave us for the 50th anniversary. Yes,DOTD had all the bells and whistles - but,when you get right down to it,it only paid lip service to the 50 years of the shows history. AAISAT not only came across as a love letter to the show, but (unlike Day) it was REAL. The emotions you felt were the emotions actually experienced! I'm so glad you chose it as your favourite. And boy... are you a serious fan now,or what?!

Can I just say how much of a brilliant writer you are!

Everyone knew this was a labour of love for Mark - Mark Gatiss has always been one of 'us' - that is, way before he was working and writing scripts for TV or radio, he was a Who fan, like Paul Cornell (Human Nature) and RTD writing DW novels during the shows cancellation in the 90s. So we knew this was coming from his heart - but I don't think anyone knew what a masterpiece this was going to be - the attention to detail is astonishing and Bradley's portrail is wonderful. But Mark's stunt of putting Matt Smith in it was breaktaking and could have easily backfired - but thanks to the tone of the story as a whole and commitement everyone brought to it it was pitch perfect. Honestly, this was probably the best thing to come out of the 50th aniversary productions. (Though, Night of the Doctor sated my inner fanboy, Day of the Doctor satisfied my nu-Who fandom, and the Five-ish Doctor's my old-Who needs - this was simply the best of the bunch).
