One of the most popular shows in British TV history, this long-running, shoestring-budgeted sci-fi saga followed the exploits of "the Doctor," a maverick scientist and adventurer who traversed space and time in the TARDIS, a high-tech craft disguised (well, stuck, actually) as a London police box. William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy starred as the various eccentric incarnations of the Doctor during the series's initial 1963-1989 run.
A scientist's crystalline "recordings" of creatures from the planet Eden threaten to overrun an interstellar liner, and only the Doctor (Tom Baker) and Romana can save the ship and its occupants. 100 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH).
