TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Doctor Who's Who's Who is an hour long documentary credited to the New Jersey Network during the opening & introduced by Eric Luskin & made specifically for the American market, eagle eyed Doctor Who fans will also note that when a shot of Nyssa played by Sarah Sutton signing autographs at a convention during the first few minutes they spell her name wrong in the caption, instead of Sarah it reads Sara.There are interviews with long running producer John Nathan-Turner complete with an eyesore of a red Hawaiian shirt half unbuttoned of course & he says what he wanted to change about the show & I also found it very interesting to note that he admits that he had never produced a program before Doctor Who, I really have to ask myself why did the BBC give someone who had NEVER produced anything before the most complex show they made? Also interviewed are Peter Davison the 5th Doctor who has some interesting things to say including backing up my opinion that Nyssa played by Sarah Sutton was his 'best' companion. Then it's the 6th Doctor Colin baker who has nothing of any note to contribute & finally a relaxed interview with the 3rd Doctor Jon Pertwee who discusses more than just Doctor Who & also states that the American Doctor Who fans are much better than the British ones...There is a sequence where the 4th Doctor Tom Baker is seen on stage answering a couple of questions from the audience but he doesn't appear in any one-on-one interview.There are a few clips from the show, there is a quick look around the BBC's storage basement where many old Doctor Who monster costumes gather dust & some footage of English fans who embarrass themselves, there are some really weird looking & sounding interviewees who discuss Doctor Who at this point including what looks like some punk gang! I assure anyone who sees Doctor Who's Who's Who in 2007 that Britain has moved on a long way & we usually don't let people like that walk the streets on their own...Doctor Who's Who's Who, the IMDb title of 'Doctor Who' Who's Who is wrong, is an OK way to pass an hour if your a fan. There are a few nice titbit's here but nothing spectacular & it's presented from an American perspective so bear that in mind. Good but not great.

This documentary was rather good so when I found it on video at a convention in 1986, in a nice looking professional oversized case, I snapped it up. Most interesting is Tom Baker discussing the unusual circumstances under which he got the role of the Doctor, comments from other science fiction actors such as George Takei, and interviews with a large variety of the cast. It also has interviews about with some fans about their favorite Doctors and tests the old belief that the first Doctor someone sees is their favorite. This is actually one of the better made for PBS interview documentaries.
