Doctor Who: Time Crash (2007)

Too much of everything

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This is a pretty funny short where The Tenth Doctor and The Fifth manage to bump into each other out of time thanks to Ten not raising the shields while flying. There's some banter between them and Five finds out Ten is a future re-incarnation of him. The "You're a fan!" line was hilarious and I always love it when I see multiple Doctors on screen together. And while I do love it when Doctor Who does these little shorts for charity I am going to have to play the bad guy on one major aspect in this short. Peter Davison acts nothing like he did on his run as five! I'm sure any fan of the old and new show will be able to see that he is exactly like Ten, only Ten is more hyperactive. Despite that it is a decent enough homage to the classic show and I would say it is entertaining to watch despite me thinking it's perplexing why they didn't have that little nod before Voyage Of The Damned or The Last Of The Time Lords. Either way, It is worth taking a look at.

"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.

When a young David Tennant watched Dr Who his favourite take on the hero was that of Peter Davison. As the then-current star, Tennant got the chance to work with him for this short and what does his character say to the man who would later be his father-in-law? You were my doctor. Inside references are the best aren't they?So, what's this about? The Tenth and Fifth Doctors meet each other, that's what! If two of the finest actors ever to grace our screens coming together as the same character isn't enough to grab at you then I don't know what is."Two minutes to Belgium!" As in, an explosion the size of. The TARDIS can't cope with being in the same place as its past self and it's up to the two incarnations to stop that from happening. Doing so will separate the two again and Ten has some important parting words to Five first. It's great to see the classic doctors getting the respect they deserve. This probably led some young fans to investigate the older Dr Who serials for the first time and that's only ever a good thing.Moffat delivers the goods again. Shame we couldn't see them team up for a whole episode.

This 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!
