What a waste of my time!!!
just watch it!
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
View More"Doctor Who: Time Crash" is, as the title already suggests, a Doctor Who short film from almost 10 years ago. The story here is that the (then) current Doctor Who meets his equivalent from the past. Of course, this story had to be taken up at some point with all the time travel references and here it is. However, their dialog for roughly 8 minutes is neither too inspiring nor really memorable. Nothing stays in the mind. Then again, I am not the biggest Doctor Who fan anyway, so fans of the series may see this differently. That's also what the IMDb rating implies. Graeme Harper directed this and he worked on several Doctor Who episodes as well. I hope the are funnier and smarter than this boring short movie. Not recommended.
View MoreThis short adventure featuring two doctors was absolutely amazing, it had such an epic feel and I felt I had died and gone to heaven. When the new series started I began getting DVD's of the classic series and Peter Davison's stories such as Earthshock and The Caves Of Androzani were great and proved how good a doctor he was. So to have Peter Davison and possibly the best Doctor of them all David Tennant together was magical. The story also gets the chance to pay homage to Peter Davison and what he did as the character all those years ago, this story leaves everyone smiling and feeling nostalgic but it also leaves the question 'Will the doctor meet any of his selves again?' based on the quality of this short story, I sincerely hope so. Doctor Who is still as strong as ever!
View MoreDoctor Who: Time Crash is a short (under 10 minutes) little piece made specifically for the 2007 BBC Children in Need night of fund raising.There's no real story other than the fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) ends up meeting the tenth Doctor (David Tennant) in the TARDIS just after he leaves Martha (Freema Agyemen) on Earth at the end of season 3 of the new series.I actually thought it was a nice little fun self referential piece where doctor number ten pokes a bit of fun at one of his previous incarnations while Doctor number five at first thinks he's a loony fan & criticises the new interior of the TARDIS likening the change to that of a Windows desktop! There are some amusing references to various enemy's, Doctor fives traits & some of his companions. I actually smiled on a few occasions & Time Crash has enough continuity with he series as a whole to become an accepted part of it in it's own right. It's certainly far more serious & sensible in tone than the silly Dimensions in Time (1993).Hell, I liked it, I like both David Tennant & Peter Davison although he has noticeably aged which is explained by the time difference or something technobable like that & it also features Freema Agyeman at the start (in footage taken from the end of Last of the Time Lords(2007)) & I admit I have the hots for her & really like her in general so that also helps. At the end Doctor number ten says Doctor number five was his Doctor & in fact in reality Peter Davison would have been David Tennant's first Doctor as he grew up which I thought was a nice little touch.It never leaves the confines of the new style TARDIS & actually leaves you wanting something a bit more substantial, a complete proper story to feature both Tennant & Davison (I wouldn't have said no to Freema Agyeman appearing as well) would have been nice if this little taster was anything to go by. I thought it was a fun little piece & a nice accompaniment to both the new & old series that works well within the context of both. But then again what do I know? The end features a gratuitous plug for the upcoming Christmas special Voyage of the Damned (2007) & also features more footage from the end of Last of the Time Lords.
View More"Doctor Who" was back for all of eight minutes, as part of "Children in Need" night, in a mini-episode, written by Steven Moffat and directed by Graeme Harper, entitled "Time Crash". I've already seen it described, subsequently, as "Time Crap" but I thought it was good fun with a rather poignant final minute. My favourite line was actually one given to tenth Doctor David Tennant, and thus the obvious choice for the title of this post, but, overall, I thought fifth Doctor Peter Davison out-acted his successor. He was "let's be honest, pretty sort-of-marvellous"! Readers may think I'm prejudiced in his favour because I prefer the classic series to Russell T. Davies' reinvention but that isn't the reason. Peter wasn't "My Doctor", just the better actor on this occasion. They really only got it spot on, during his era, in his final story so it was intriguing to see the actor reunited with the director of that story, "The Caves of Androzani", for this little, well-balanced, excursion.While David may have had the best line, the one tinged with A. E. Housman-style regret of a past long since lost, the fifth Doctor had the leading question, and the one I've been asking myself for the last two years, when he asks the tenth, "Is there something wrong with you?"! Perhaps David is "the decorative vegetable" rather than Peter's stick of celery!! Steven Moffat summed up the current Doctor's predilection for "ranting in my face about every single thing that happens to be in front of him" perfectly!!! My only regret about "Time Crash" is that it wasn't a full-length episode. Having gone to the trouble of rehiring a popular former-leading man from the series, together with the programme's best director of that period combined (for the first time) with the writing skills of the current series' best author, it would've been nice to see the central relationship developed further as in "The Two Doctors", one of my "Blue Remembered Hills". I echo the sentiment, "All My Love To Long Ago".
