The Perfect Scenario: The End of Dreams

A documentary celebrating the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who, featuring new interviews, rare archive footage and recently discovered material.

Behind-the-scenes stories from the cast and crew across 50 years of Doctor Who.

Scientist Doctor Who accidentally activates his new invention, the Tardis, a time machine disguised as a police telephone box. Who, his two granddaughters Barbara and Susan, and Barbara's boyfriend Ian are transported through time and space to the planet Skaro, where a peaceful race of Thals are under threat of nuclear attack from the planet's other inhabitants: the robotic mutant Daleks.

"Frontios buries its own dead", or so the saying goes. The Doctor, Turlough and Tegan are forced into landing on the remote planet of Frontios, a human colony where deaths go unaccounted for. What lies beneath the surface, dragging its victims down?

In the year 4000, the Daleks conspire to conquer the Solar System. Their scheme involves treachery at the highest levels and a weapon capable of destroying the very fabric of time. Only the Doctor and his friends can prevent catastrophe — and there is no guarantee they will escape with their lives...

Doctor Who and his companions are hurled into the future and make a horrifying discovery: the Daleks have conquered Earth! The metal fiends have devastated entire continents and turned the survivors into Robomen.

A double dose of the Doctor! Two classic Dr. Who adventures return in new 4K restorations. Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) were the first time the good Doctor was ever seen in colour and on the big screen. The films, directed by Gordon Flemyng, remain the Doctor’s only cinematic outings and feature the legendary Peter Cushing as everyone’s favourite Time Lord alongside a supporting cast that includes Roy Castle, Bernard Cribbins, Jennie Linden and Roberta Tovey.

A zero-budget, heartfelt parody of Doctor Who and the Tokusatsu genre. We are dropped into a fictional segment of a Doctor Who but from a parallel universe—one where the series originated in Japan. Drawing inspiration from classics like Monkey!, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider X, and, of course, Toei’s Spider-Man, it reimagines the beloved sci-fi adventure with a distinct Tokusatsu flair.

The Doctor, Steven and Dodo land on an alien world in this animated reconstruction of a lost 1966 Doctor Who adventure. There, they meet two peoples: the cutthroat Savages and civilised Elders, who claim to know all about the Doctor and his travels. Is all as it seems, and will the TARDIS crew come out in one piece if it isn't?

The Doctor regenerates in London, 1911, but there's no time to rest. In this fan production she meets her new companion, chimney sweep Carl Evans, and they set off to 1980s Seattle. There, Vietnam war veterans living in an urban park are mysteriously disappearing by the day; what's the cause? And could it be as alien as the Doctor herself?

An animated adventure following the Seventh Doctor as he attempts to stop General Tannis' plans for conquest of the universe.

Something is afoot in the lonely Cornish village of Merrymaid Bay. Rumours of dead men working in the tin mines have sent a chill through the community, and it's up to the Doctor and Charley to get to the bottom of the mystery. Can the legends of the Bucca that haunts the mines be true? And just what awesome power do the Doctor's greatest enemies - the Daleks! - threaten to unleash upon the universe?

Three friends stumble upon a mysterious light in the sky, triggering a terrifying pursuit by unseen forces in the dead of night.

Meet Sardoth - the second-to-last of the Jagaroth. Sardoth tries his best to fit into the community of Blatchford and raise money to build a time machine.

After the destruction of his home, Sutkeh the Destroyer struggles to find work and acceptance in an unforgiving world.

The Doctor is on trial... again but this time he is disputed by some Silurians, or more accurately the people who played them.

In the far future, the remaining population of an oxygen-depleted planet Earth lies in enforced stasis in The Field of Dreams. Looking for ideas to help him re-connect to his captive audience, Zed, a young scenariosmith, turns to the world of Doctor Who for inspiration...

A look at the subtle (and not so subtle!) links to the show's past and future contained within the story of The Five Doctors.
