The above image is from my local newspaper.
It's hard to explain to a fan of the new series, or to someone
from the UK, just how exciting and strange it was to see an
ad for Doctor Who in the newspaper and on mainstream TV.
While
the movie proved to be something of a let-down (especially
in light of the fact it didn't lead to a new series) the performance
of Paul
McGann as the eighth Doctor was superb, and the months
leading up to the broadcast were very exciting.
