A double dose of the Doctor! Two classic Dr. Who adventures return in new 4K restorations. Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) were the first time the good Doctor was ever seen in colour and on the big screen. The films, directed by Gordon Flemyng, remain the Doctor’s only cinematic outings and feature the legendary Peter Cushing as everyone’s favourite Time Lord alongside a supporting cast that includes Roy Castle, Bernard Cribbins, Jennie Linden and Roberta Tovey.

The Doctor soon understands what the pounding in the Master's head is; it's the Time Lords, who are trying to return and re-establish Gallifrey. If they succeed, it'll mean the Last Great Time War will re-start, and all the horrors which came with it. In order to stop Rasillon's mad plan, the Doctor must make a choice.

Japanese Doctor Who

Jul 8, 2014

A zero-budget, heartfelt parody of Doctor Who and the Tokusatsu genre. We are dropped into a fictional segment of a Doctor Who but from a parallel universe—one where the series originated in Japan. Drawing inspiration from classics like Monkey!, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider X, and, of course, Toei’s Spider-Man, it reimagines the beloved sci-fi adventure with a distinct Tokusatsu flair.
