Peter Cushing as Dr. Who, any love?
Now these films are a real love-hate thing for many people. Avid fans of the TV show often hate them for changing a lot of Who-lore, but I find them entertaining if rather daft at times. What do...

I watched 'Dr. Who and the Daleks' for the first time in many years. It's not a great film, and suffers by comparison with the original TV serial, but there are many effective moments. The condensed...

I'm a big Peter Cushing fan, and a big Doctor Who nut, but I didn't really thing they jelled. I like the movies, but they are not my favorite Cushing.

Love Cushing but hate his take on Dr Who. It wasn't all his fault as the name didn't mean much overseas so they just made him a kindly old inventor. Even so, it's badly overacted by Cushing. I don't...

Always loved the two films, but never warmed to the tv series - it seems the BBC can't throw enough money at it these days with spin-offs and such. Even more annoying that they're cutting back on news...

I was lucky. I saw both of these movies in the mid 1980's at the Ogden theatre in Denver. (a revival house that showed "cult films" on the weekends) Seeing them on the big screen makes a good bit of...

Also, someone please refresh me: was it the first or second Who movie that formed the infamous double-bill with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD? It was the first movie, and that double feature was my first...

I was under the impression that Cushing regarded Dr. Who as one of his favorite roles. Having seen it when I was about 11 years old, it was certainly one of mine. In fact, I don't think I even...

It certainly is totally different to every other role I've seen Cushing play. I lot of of my objections to his Doctor now can be chalked up to my expectations, both of the actor and of the character....

Well I do think this is a British thing as I grew up with Dr Who as a kid. Patrick Troughton was the Doctor when I started watching, and to this day is still the best for me. Some of his story's are...

The Dr. Who films and At The Earth's Core are a strong rebuttal to those who think Cushing could do no wrong.

I like 'em. Probably more than the TV stories. They're much more compact and streamlined. I like Hartnell's Doctor, but watching people walking through a cardboard jungle for 25 minutes at a stretch...

Back in the late seventies they were the only doctor Who you could watch without Tom Baker and the only hint that there had been other actors in the role! The BBC never repeated any old Who, they...
