Plot summary
Disapproving fans met the 1996 Doctor Who television movie with an outcry, though it had been made to send the franchise in a new direction. The screenwriter behind that television movie had kept his distance from those viewers in the years since. A filmmaker making a documentary about American Doctor Who fandom approached him, and he agreed to take part, which brought him back among the fans. He believed the result would be mostly about the fans; the filmmaker had always known it would center on him. The project dates from the show's fiftieth anniversary, nine years before the documentary was released, when interest in him spiked.
