Yes. There have been two theatrical movies ("Dr. Who And The Daleks" and "Daleks - Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.") based on Doctor Who and also a TV movie. The two movies were released in the 1960s and star Peter Cushing as Dr. Who (not The Doctor), a human scientist. Both movies take elements from Doctor Who TV series (including The Daleks) but are not canon.
The following are links to the Wikipedia pages for more information on the movies: Dr. Who And The Daleks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Who_and_the_Daleks Daleks - Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daleks_...rth:_2150_A.D. In 1996 a TV movie featuring The Doctor was broadcast. Unlike the above two movies, this one is a continuation of the old series and was intended as a pilot for a new Doctor Who series. The TV movie features Sylvester McCoy (returning as The Seventh Doctor), Paul McGann as The Eighth Doctor, and Eric Roberts as The Master. Although the ratings didn't warrant a new series, from what I've read Paul McGann has made a large number of audio-only appearances as The Doctor and he did return to the role of The Doctor on-screen in the miniepisode "The Night Of The Doctor." Spoiler:

of all of the Dr. Who creatures, the daleks are my least favorite. I don't think I will seek out that movie

The first Dr. Who I remember watching was Patrick Troughton. I think they show went a little off the rails towards the end of Tom Baker’s time and stayed in stupidland up until Sylvester McCoy.
I have to say a lot of the reboot has been plain awful, and though I thoroughly enjoyed Blink, the show hasn’t picked up since Steven Moffat took over. Can Capaldi save the day? I still hope so but it doesn’t look promising. |
