Even for those who don't watch Doctor Who regularly, it's a terrifically entertaining period piece with a lot of heart and appreciation for TV history.

It captures the chaos and experimental vibe that dominated early TV production.

The film is cleverly structured.

As a story about how the past became the present (which makes us, in relation to its characters, people of the future), it is very much in line with its subject, and has been made with much the same mix of enchantment and suspense.

A thoughtful, evocative, and beautifully shot look at Doctor Who's early days (for fans) that also delivers as an intriguing TV production docudrama (for non-fans).

Gatiss has written several Doctor Who scripts, and it's striking to see how he adapts the story behind the story into a vintage Who tale: A tale of misfits triumphing over long odds.

Thrilling—you are there at the inception of Doctor Who!—and deeply poignant, sometimes at the same time...with actors like Bradley and Cox in place, it's difficult to imagine a better treatment.
