Summary: Feature length and American…two terms that strike fear into the heart of any British TV fan. Still, Sylvester McCoy’s in it, so it’s canon. It’s got shootings, medical drama, high speed chases and snogging…we’re not in Perivale anymore. In fact, we’re in San Francisco on the eve of the millennium (or one year off, if you’re a pedant) and the world is in grave danger for some convoluted reason. Eric Roberts makes an admirably whackjob Master (who takes over a paramedic’s body via a blob of goo), Paul McGann is a credible alien-out-of-water and Grace is by no means the worst companion the Doctor’s ever picked up.
Watch it because: It would be a crime to miss out a whole regeneration.
