The folks at IO9 mentioned how genuinely moving and emotional this reenactment of the beginnings of Doctor Who is. I agree. There are some truly powerful moments, and the entire story is one that Doctor Who fans will particularly love, but can be enjoyed by anyone. It is about the BBC's first female producer and first Indian-born director, and an aging actor who was appreciated for his past roles but now struggling to find work. The latter approaches the show he is asked to star in with some skepticism, but by the time health issues force his departure, he doesn't want to go.
