A ★★★★ review of An Adventure in Space and Time (2013)
Just finished watching (courtesy of the DVR) this BBC TV movie about the creation and early years of “Doctor Who”. I’m pleased and impressed. David Bradley’s rendition of William Hartnell, reborn and slowly declining, is beautifully, tragically done.

Oh, I’d so love to see that. I hope they will release it on a DVD.
