What a load of absolute rubbish!
This is a cash grab for the Christmas DVD market if ever there was one.
What's it even about? The making of the doomed 1996 TV movie? Not really. Fandom? Possibly
This documentary (and I use that word lightly) doesn't seem to know what it is, and to be honest, I soon lost interest in finding out.
To me really it's Matthew Jacobs (who comes across as a very unlikable and bitter man with some axes to grind) going through a 'bitter struggle' of sitting behind desks and being paid to sign photos from the film that was always destined to fail in the first place. You can get a strong whiff of sour grapes from the moment you open the DVD case.
Save your money and indeed your time.
Plot summary
In 1996, a Doctor Who TV movie was envisioned to lead the franchise into an exciting new future with a fresh direction but was met only by an outcry from disapproving fans. Now, follow the film’s screenwriter, Matthew Jacobs, as he is pulled back into the world of the Doctor Who fandom, where he unexpectedly finds himself a kindred part of this close-knit, yet vast, family of fans.

Nothing to do with making of doctor who movie. Pure cashgrab
Dont expect any insight to doctor who and the making of this film. This is one man's ego and his need to make some money so goes reluctantly goes to conventions and cash grabs from doctor who fans.
The film trailer teases key cast members and their thoughts but they are all only in it for a minute and they talk about themselves as actors and their thiughts on conventions rather than anything about the making of the show. Want to hear how much eric roberts loves being married then this is for you. Want to know more about a girl dress up and twirl a blanket to simiulate regeneration. This is for you. Why did the doctor kiss a person and say he was half human? Well thats what we liked so deal with it. This is just the writer finally agreeing to tour conventions and rather than tackle his thoughts and decisions he simply views fans in the usa looking down at them or oddly at them until he finally approves of who fandom but also states he wont do the fan conventions again.
