I almost missed recording the Doctor Who biopic tonight because it is only listed as An Adventure in Space and Time on my DVR.
I think the actor who played William Hartnell was very good.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I agree. Parts of that were almost painful to watch, though -- seeing him deteriorating like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think the actor who played William Hartnell was very good.
Totally. I liked the actress playing Verity Lambert as well.

Yeah, the last part is sad.
My first reaction to seeing Matt Smith's 11th Doctor was "What the hell?" But I decided that I liked seeing him there for a few seconds.

David Bradley. You probably know him as Fitch in the Harry Potter films. He was also in "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship".

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The show does have an established history of eerily good William Hartnell impersonators. I recall a story about Carole Ann Ford being quite taken aback by Richard Hurndall during the filming of The Five Doctors.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought Lost Girl wasn't back until January?
Not back on in the US. Otherwise I wouldn't have whitefonted the details.

David Bradley was good, but we gave up about a third of the way through -- It was boring.
