Review
This is an odd little serial, considering the things Doctor Who has done. (Such as Books coming to life, a rainbow coated suit, robotic yeti and more...) It has a weird concept, with a ridiculous villain of candy (Who really needed more on screen time, but sadly does not) that spawned a lawsuit from a candy maker. Anyway, the acting is decent, but McCoy stands out of all of them, while Helen A's only stand out due to the nonsubtlety of it all. It's a little silly and all, with The Doctor on go karts, and a pink TARDIS, yet it is all taken in stride, and it is a little enjoyable despite the odd storyline and even odder undertones (That turn to overtones). This serves as an example of the flip-flopping the McCoy Era did in the unfortunately short 3 years.

Overall, I give it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

Review
This film tried to restart Doctor Who after it was cancelled in 1989 after 26 years. Needless to say, it did not happen. The reason was low ratings in the US (Broadcast on Fox) Anyway, the acting from McGann is good, compared to Roberts', which isn't worth the makeup on him, which reminds me of the Terminator, probably unintentional. The plot is average fare, as its shorter then a usual serial, so it's easy thin to solve. "I'm half human, on my mother's side," Wait, earlier in the film, the Doctor (7th) said he wasn't human, he wasn't like you. Of course then he died, so yea...Anyway, I'd recommend the film for continuation at least, even if it isn't that good.

Overall, I give it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.
