With one week to go, we revisit the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who. By 1993, Doctor Who was off the air for 4 years and there wasn't really any major celebration planned. There was the Children in Need special Dimensions in Time which was horrible and wasn't even worth the film it's on. Other than showing Nicholas Courtney and Colin Baker together as the Brigadier and the 6th Doctor on screen, it was a joke. So much potential, lost.
Thankfully, a documentary was made to mark the anniversary. More Than 30 Years in the TARDIS was a lovely 3-episode special that assembled pretty much every living actor from the shows past, a smattering of monsters and revisited some of the memorable locations. Chock full of clips, interviews, anecdotes, behind the scene tidbits, and more. For not having a proper drama special, this was a lovely commemoration. It's full of heart and adoration for what was then a canceled show. For so long, it was the last chapter in my televisual library that I could show people to explain what Doctor Who was. Good times!
