    The one with Paul McGann? I really like him as the Doctor, but that movie was dreadful :frown:

    I would love to see him reprise the role and do a Time War flashback movie/episode!

    I thought that the movie was going to explain the time war a little, or at least show Gallifrey. It wasn't great, but it was a necessary to watch.

    Love Paul McGann! I had heard so many bad things about the movie by the time I saw it I was pleasantly surprised! He still does the radio plays in GB.

    I liked him as the Dr., but it was the writing that was lacking.

    I watched it when it aired and have since re-watched it. It's not brilliant but it's ok. Not a patch on any of the new series episodes but without it they probably wouldn't have happened.

    Would love to see some 8th Doctor episodes during the 50th year, explaining the time war an all but it's unlikely to happen.

    To the best of my knowledge the time war was an invention of Russell Davies in order to re-boot the series and for the most part put Gallifrey in the past. Although as we have seen in the End of Time, old Time Lord's never die! :)

    They just keep on ticking.

    (Sorry about that. I know it is a groaner, but I just couldn't resist.)

    Yeah I know, if we see any time war action or any references to it this year (or from now on really) it'd be Moffat (or his successor) retconning. Wouldn't be surprised if Moffat does have a stab at trying to explain it all, seeing as he has a habit of re-doing RTD stories/themes (only better).
