Any who's seen the UK version of Queer as folk will know my opinion of this... This is the doctor who doesn't count!

I love Doctor Who, and that's why I can't give this a passing score. Paul McGann is great, and with a decent script and ANY other decent actors, he'd have made a wonderful show of it. Unfortunately, due to a nice but ill-conceived cameo by Sylvester McCoy, he can't even get on screen for half an hour. Eric Roberts is at his scenery-chewing worst here as well. Given the wonderful series we have now, I'm relieved in retrospect that this never took off.

Given the circumstances under which this movie was made, I guess it could have been worse. Like one of the producers said, at least "they kept the flame alive". I think that McGann gives a fine Doctor but the rest is too much made up for an American audience.

Don't watch this thinking that it really is the "Doctor Who movie", because it's not. It's a failed pilot. It fails on a few levels, trying to humanize a Time Lord, but ignoring some of those lines it passes. I can't honestly say it's a good film being a Doctor Who fan, but I can say it's worth the watch to see Paul McGann do amazingly as the Doctor. Hopefully he will show up for a reunion and get some more screen time.

Worth seeing to catch Paul McGann's one and only appearance on film as the Doctor (he would've made a good one), but misguided on nearly all other levels. Eric Roberts is a complete wash-out. Sad to see Sylvester McCoy's Doctor perish so needlessly and stupidly on an operating table.

Good Lord, this is dreck. From a distinctly charmless Doctor to an overblown Master, a weak script and a distinctly B-movie attitude, it's really no surprise that it didn't get taken up as a full series. A near-complete waste of time.

A loopy story is more than made up for by an abundance of atmosphere, witty banter, and a great performance by Paul McGann.

As much as I love Doctor Who this is by far one of the worst stories ever made. It's a blessing this never took off into a full series, that said, there are a few plus points to this movie. Firstly, Paul McGann has such potential making such an impression out of this madness, the TARDIS looks amazing and seems to have had some money spent on it. Eric Roberts... Good villain yes, good Master.... NO!

They wasted a Doctor.
