This was a well-put-together book detailing the history of the two Dr. Who films starring Peter Cushing as the Doctor. Long derided as not being canon, they do have their admirers, and I am sufficiently intrigued to want to see the first one. I did check out some of the soundtrack and nearly fell out of my chair laughing at the opening titles: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T_wPXXkO14o

Cuilin That‘s interesting. With one feature length episode Paul McCann‘s portrayal is cannon though. Was Cushing still No 1? Hmm I may need to read this lol 2y
rabbitprincess @Cuilin Paul McGann‘s film was a BBC production, so it was canon (although the « half human on his mum‘s side » bit caused controversy!) The Cushing films were a different studio so they reworked a lot of elements for reasons of permissions or cinema requirements. This is a great book so I definitely think you should read it! 2y
Cuilin @rabbitprincess thanks I‘m interested to see were the movies made before they came up the genius plan of regeneration. Stacked. 2y

Apparently the Daleks gatecrashed John and Cynthia Lennon when they were in France 🤣 John was promoting “Help!” and the Daleks were of course promoting “Dr. Who & the Daleks”. John doesn‘t look terribly impressed 😂
