• An Adventure in Space and Time

  Chris hatton 13 January 2014

  

  An Adventure in Space and Time is a worthy celebration of the birth of the longest running television show in the world - made by fans for fans. Wonderfully and colourfully capturing a short, historic and iconic moment in the history of television, the superb 90 minute drama combines all the eclectic elements of Doctor Who to make a true fan ooze with utter joy. From a smoking Cyberman to the mispronunciation of the newly-born "Daleks", all the love and charm combine perfectly with a terrific sprinkle of wit and comedy to provide an all-round good hearted family show. An Adventure in Space and Time is a genuinely moving, warm and uplifting piece of film documenting one of TV's great untold stories. Quite rightly it serves as a classy tribute to a man who played a huge part in changing the face of television forever; William Hartnell.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  This fantastic one-off drama travels back in time to 1963 to see how the beloved Doctor Who was first brought to the screen. Actor William Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Wannabe producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry's glass ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama, time travel and monsters! Allied with a team of brilliant people, they went on to create the longest-running science fiction series ever, now celebrating its 50th anniversary. An Adventure in Space and Time is written by Mark Gatiss, executive produced by Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat and Caroline Skinner and directed by Terry McDonough. David Bradley (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Broadchurch) plays the lead role of William Hartnell while Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife, The Woman in Black) co-stars as the first ever producer of Doctor Who, Verity Lambert. The stellar cast is joined by Sacha Dhawan (Waris Hussein), Lesley Manville (Heather Hartnell), and Brian Cox (Sydney Newman). A must see drama for all Doctor Who and drama fans alike.

Terry McDonough directs this made-for-TV biopic exploring the origins of the popular British sci-fi series 'Doctor Who'. Set in 1963, the feature finds actor William Hartnell (David Bradley) frustrated at being typecast as an unthinking enforcer and producer Verity Lambert (Jessica Raine) dismayed at her inability to make an impression in the male-dominated media. The involvement of Hartnell and Lambert in a new TV show called 'Doctor Who' marks a turning point in the career of both, offering them the opportunity to contribute to the creative growth of a production that quickly captures the imagination of the public. Sacha Dhawan, Lesley Manville and Brian Cox are among the co-stars.
