Paul McGann and Sylvester McCoy star as the Time Lord in this
made-for-TV feature based on the long-running BBC sci-fi series.
Whilst returning the Master (Eric Roberts)'s remains to their home
planet of Gallifrey, the Doctor (McCoy) crash lands the TARDIS on
Earth in San Francisco in the year 1999. Gunned down by a street
gang, the Doctor is rushed to hospital, where exploratory surgery
by Dr Grace Holloway (Daphne Ashbrook) triggers a regeneration into
the Eighth Doctor (McGann). Meanwhile, the Master has taken over
the body of a paramedic and infiltrated the TARDIS, which he plans
to use in his latest scheme to take over the Doctor's new body and
destroy the world.
Three digitally remastered Doctor Who episodes from the 1970s, '80s
and '90s. In 'The Talons of Weng-Chiang' (1977), the Doctor (Tom
Baker) and Leela (Louise Jamison) arrive in Victorian London to
find that galactic war criminal Magnus Greel has created giant rats
in the sewers and is sucking the life essence from young girls to
sustain him in his search for his time cabinet. Aided by Professor
Litefoot and music hall proprietor Henry Jago, the Doctor must stop
Greel (masquerading as the Chinese god Weng Chiang) and his
servants Li H'sen Chang and killer doll Mr Sin. 'The Caves of
Androzani' (1984) represents the final outing for the fifth
incarnation of everyone's favourite Time Lord. The Doctor (Peter
Davison) and Peri (Nicola Bryant) become embroiled in an
underground war of gun running and drug smuggling shortly after
landing on the planet Androzani Minor. Apprehended by the military,
they are rescued from execution by the brilliant but horribly
disfigured criminal, Sharaz Jek, whose infatuation with Peri looks
set to be cut short when he discovers that both she and the Doctor
have contracted the deadly disease Spectrox Toxaemia. The only
possible cure is the milk of the queen bat, which dwells in the
caves currently being roamed by the killer Magma Creature... In
'Doctor Who: The Movie' (1996), the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy)
crashlands the TARDIS on Earth in end-of-century San Francisco
while en route to return the Master's remains to their home planet
of Gallifrey. Gunned down by a street gang, the Doctor is rushed to
hospital, where exploratory surgery by Doctor Grace Holloway
(Daphne Ashbrook) triggers a regeneration. The Master has meanwhile
taken over the body of a paramedic and infiltrated the Doctor's
TARDIS, which he plans to use in his latest scheme to take over the
Doctor's new body and destroy the world. Filmed as the pilot for a
revived 'Doctor Who' series - tailored to the American market -
which subsequently failed to materialise, this feature-length
adventure introduces Paul McGann as the renegade Time Lord.
