Despite the failure of Doctor Who‘s 1996 movie, the show’s modern era just wouldn’t be the same if not for certain contributions from Paul McGann’s brief spell leading the franchise as the Eighth Doctor. The show’s 2004 revival with Christopher Eccleston marked a strong change in tone when compared with Doctor Who‘s classic era, despite all existing canon remaining in place. In several ways, McGann’s movie falls somewhere between the original run and the version that’s around today, but it’s certainly more similar to the newer episodes than the older ones.
