My 2023 Doctor Who film challenge! Because it's the 60th anniversary (and Ncuti Gatwa was in a massive movie), I decided to set myself a challenge of watching a film starring every main Doctor actor - that's 16 of them! A thread:

I liked last night's Doctor Who pre-credits scene for two reasons: 1) it shows Doctor Who can be outright silly, in that Douglas Adams way (see also: the robot) 2) "Mavity" also shows anything can be changed on a whim in this show with time travel!

The 2005 series is its own different era... It's Doctor Who as a grounded social drama (what if he existed in the real world?). And completely self contained. It lost that in 2006 and I don't think any other series since has quite gone there (though series 8 and 11 tried)

My latest Doctor Who hot take: some people talk about the "message" of the series, how it promotes kindness and love and moral goodness in the world. And... I don't think that's really true - it's very simplistic. But there is a better message that people have missed. (1/7)

There is absolute zero chance of this happening.. But after reading The Eaters of Light Target novelisation, I'd love them to novelise Nightmare in Silver. It'd be great to read it how the writer intended. But it's Neil Gaiman, no chance of him writing one of these!

Christopher Eccleston in LET HIM HAVE IT (1991) His first major role, and it's a leading one - a great period piece set in 1951. He talks about this a lot in his autobiography, I'm inclined to agree with his modest opinions but it's still a film that sticks in the memory.

Jo Martin in BEEN SO LONG (2018) It doesn't look like Jo has had many lead film roles, but she's in this a few times as the mother of one of the main characters. An odd film adaptation of a musical with an extraordinarily talented cast, it doesn't quite work.

And finally - William Hartnell in THIS SPORTING LIFE (1963) Less obscure, and a classic - but worth it to see where Verity Lambert spotted him. Maybe because he is playing such against type, a mercurial older man with a Yorkshire accent. It's a terrific if depressing film.

The message of Doctor Who is all about non-conformity and freedom. It's in the character of the Doctor, who ran away from a quiet, restricted life. Think of the Daleks and Cybermen and many monsters - visions of what might happen without diversity of thought or emotion. (5/7)

It's an old idea, and you can tell its 1960s BBC liberal roots as things developed. But the message still stands out today compared to the rest of sci-fi. It's still what drives the series and probably part of the reason why we get hooked by it. (7/7)
