The Five (ish) Doctors Reboot is a parodic comedy - Short Film by Peter Davison and a tribute to the British cult - science fiction - family series Doctor Who to mark the 50th anniversary of its first broadcast on 23 November 1963. The short film was born on the 23rd November 2013 published immediately after the broadcast of the anniversary feature film Der Tag des Doktors on BBC Red Button (BBC media library / teletext ).
The title of the short film refers to the Doctor Who -Sonderfolge The five doctors ( The Five Doctors ), aired on the 20th anniversary of the series on 25 November 1983. It met the first five doctors each other ( Peter Davison - 5 ; Tom Baker - 4 ; John Pertwee - 3 ; Patrick Troughton - 2 ; Richard Hurndall on behalf of William Hartnell , who died in 1975 - 1 ). In The Five (ish) Doctors Reboot , on the other hand, the five later doctoral actors Peter Davison (5), Colin Baker (6), Sylvester McCoy (7), Paul McGann (8) and David Tennant (10) embody self-deprecatingly exaggerated parodies of themselves. The link between the two films is Peter Davison, who wrote and directed the screenplay for the latter and whose character in the short film brings together the other doctoral actors.
background
Idea and Production
In the anniversary year 2013, a whole series of special programs, books, audio books, documentaries, animated and feature films on the topic of Doctor Who appeared . The central element was a film, The Day of the Doctor, shot in 3D and shown internationally (in over 80 countries) on the same day . In the 50-year history of the series, there have already been some special episodes in which former and current main characters met and experienced special adventures. For example, a few years before Der Tag des Doktors was broadcast , fans and the media were speculating who might be featured in the 2013 anniversary film. Ultimately, the feature film was limited to characters of the new era (since 2005; under the showrunners Russell T Davies and from 2011 Steven Moffat ). After the rejection of character actor Christopher Eccleston ( Ninth Doctor , 2005), Moffat added a new role (the war doctor - John Hurt ), which is located between the eighth ( Paul McGann , 1996) and ninth doctor in the chronology .
The vain hope of many fans to see some characters from the classic (old) series again in the anniversary film led to the idea of a comedy special with those actors. At a convention several years before the anniversary, Peter Davison jokingly replied to a fan question that if he wasn't given a role in the special, he would have to write his own. This answer spread like wildfire among international fans and was already distorted like an official announcement at the following conventions. As a result, Davison actually planned a video lasting several minutes and invited his colleagues Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann to help create it. McCoy could only accept with reservations, as he was expected on the set of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit in New Zealand at the same time . This fact and McCoy's childish pride in participating in the gigantic film project was then jokingly incorporated into Davison's script. Davison also emailed Jackson a request if he wanted to participate in the special - on the firm assumption that the coveted director would definitely refuse. Just two minutes later, he received a response with Jackson's exuberant promise and, moreover, with the incredible offer for Davison to bring the legendary Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf) on board. The script grew step by step from a five to almost 30 minute short film. The current showrunner Steven Moffat also agreed, but the draft script sent to him by Davison ended up on another desk in the BBC Wales production management. There his ideas were so popular that Davison was officially provided with a camera team and a small budget of £ 25,000 for his short film. This was enough for a handful of sets / props and the logistical planning of the film. Davison's eldest daughter Georgia Tennant , who had agreed to produce the film, reported to her father Davison some time later that their friend John Barrowman was also disappointed not to have received a role in the anniversary special as the former companion of Doctor Captain Jack Harkness . In a very short time Davison was able to secure Barrowman's participation in the short film.
More and more popular actors from the old and new series were added. Screenwriter Davison had played the fifth doctor in 1981-1984, in a mini-episode in 2007 and in various radio plays , and as such also took on one of the leading roles in his satirical film. Ultimately, he also took over the direction of his film project. The former actors of the sixth ( Colin Baker ) and seventh doctor ( Sylvester McCoy ) took on other leading roles, the actors of the eighth ( Paul McGann ), tenth ( David Tennant ) and eleventh doctor ( Matt Smith , only Cameo ) as well as two have shorter appearances popular companions in recent years, Jenna Coleman ( Clara ) and John Barrowman ( Jack ). The unreachable Tom Baker ( fourth doctor ) is mentioned several times and appears with the help of a short clip from the previous anniversary special The Five Doctors (1983), from which the title of the short film is derived. Many other (current and former) employees of the series have appearances, including producers, directors, make-up artists, actors and speakers for larger and smaller roles. Some famous fans of the series also participated. Most of the actors played more or less distorted parodies of themselves in the short film.
Producer Georgia Tennant in the short film also several short appearances, also as herself. She works in as mediator between her father Peter Davison and her husband David Tennant, who as an actor the tenth Doctor has received one of the coveted lead roles in big anniversary film and the other to pave a way to the strictly guarded set. As a producer, Georgia is named under her married name Tennant, but is also listed under her maiden name Moffett in the list of actors (Davison is only her father's stage name). The fact that she was heavily pregnant with her third child at the time of shooting (the son was born in March 2013) was also incorporated into the script several times in a comedic manner: Once she suppressed the call from her father to ask about a stick of celery and a box of chocolate ice cream to shut down; Another time David quickly chokes off a phone call in the stress of rotation before she can tell him from the hospital bed that her child will be born in a few moments ...
The half-hour short film is now about the desperate attempt of the old actors to get hold of even the smallest role in the film with the help of colleagues, authors, producers and other crew members. Eventually, the short film moves to a meta-level where ex-showrunners Russell T Davies and actors Sean Pertwee and Olivia Colman try in vain to get a role in Davison's short film, and the three main cast end up saying thank you to the film crew Say goodbye to the audience and discuss a distant making-of team.
The film was shot in locations in England , Wales and New Zealand . The urging of the BBC production management (Brian Minchin, who has also been responsible for the main series since 2012) to cut the 35-minute short film to 10 minutes in length, ended suddenly by Davison after several days of discussion by threatening to cut the film significantly To tell fans about this development.
Reviews
Ben Lawrence, film reviewer for the Telegraph , gave it four out of five stars and described the short film as “a sweet, often funny homage to the show” (a hearty, often funny nod to the series). He concluded that the homage was "both a satisfying in-joke for Whovians and a naughty dig at the neediness of actors" (both a satisfying inside joke for the fans and a cheeky tip against the need for attention of actors ).
Los Angeles Times television critic Robert Lloyd dared to contrast it with the big jubilee film Doctor's Day and concluded that the short film was "equally wonderful in its way" (just as wonderful in its own way).
Awards
The Five (ish) Doctors Reboot was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) in 2014 . In addition to episodes from the series Game of Thrones and Orphan Black , other nominations were also three other special episodes of the Doctor Who universe: The anniversary special The Doctor's Day , the previous final episode of the seventh season The Name of the Doctor and the BBC docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time about the creation of the series and its creator. The award ultimately went to the GoT episode The Rain of Castamaer .
Home video publishing
After months of speculation, it was finally officially announced on July 23, 2014 that The Five (ish) Doctors would reboot - along with the other anniversary specials of varying lengths ( The Name of the Doctor , The Night of the Doctor , The Day of the Doctor , The Time of the Doctor and An Adventure in Space and Time ) - to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 8, 2014. This box set was eventually marketed as a limited edition titled 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition .
Apart from this anniversary box set, the short film was released one more time on DVD - as part of the bonus material for the eighth season following the anniversary year (first season with Peter Capaldi's 12th doctor ).
continuation
In June 2014, eighth Doctor Paul McGann, guest speaker for the Cambridge Union Society , announced that the production of a sequel had begun. However, neither the release date nor any information about the plot or cast was disclosed. Colin Baker (sixth doctor) contradicted McGann's announcement as early as July 2014 when he told Jan Gilbert (Flicks and the City) in an interview: “All I know is when I last spoke to Peter [Davison] has the reaction to Five-ish Doctors been so positive that we discussed whether it was a good idea to do another one and we agreed that we didn't want to do one that was a pale imitation of the first. That would be anti-climactic […]. We have to come up with a really good idea first. There's a couple of possibilities floating around, but nothing is set in stone. Clearly doing one about the 51st anniversary isn't going to be interesting. It's got to be about something else. "
action
The storyline is centered on fictionalized, ill-tempered former doctoral actors Davison, Baker and McCoy who are embroiled in a chaotic adventure as they try to make their own way with the help of John Barrowman, David and Georgia Tennant, Paul McGann, Matt Smith and Sneaking Jenna Coleman onto the set of the Official Doctor Who Anniversary Special.
The short film begins with a recording of Olivia Colman and Sean Pertwee , who talk during a break in filming and find, somewhat frustrated, that neither of the two otherwise sought-after actors could get a role in the “ Five Doctors Reboot Thing” (Colman: “I ' m usually in everything. ").
A jump back into 2012 reveals the former actor of the fifth doctor , Peter Davison , who is watching the annual Doctor Who Christmas special (that year The Snowmen ) with his two younger sons . You mention the approaching 50th anniversary and the planned special episode and speculate whether Davison will receive the invitation to return to his role on this occasion. To Davison's horror, the boys are visibly enthusiastic about the idea that it could even amount to a get-together of the two newest doctoral actors Matt Smith and David Tennant (the husband of their half-sister Georgia).
In the following typical Doctor Who title sequence, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker and Paul McGann are featured as leading actors alongside Davison. As the title of the episode, the film is named in the film The Five Doctors Reboot . Then the "(ish)" falls into the picture and supplements the mentioned title with the actual short film title.
Davison dreams of being invited to the BBC studios one more time, where he is lovingly ensnared by those present (including Matt Smith, Clara actress Jenna Coleman , showrunner Steven Moffat and the teams in the costume and make-up departments) is spoiled. A vision from Janet Fielding tears him out of this dream by telling him that none of the "old doctors" is wanted. Her voice merges with that of Davison's wife, Elizabeth Heery, who tells him to get up and walk the dog. On the way, Davison desperately - and inconclusive - asks his agent about a possible recall by the BBC.
In February 2013, Sylvester McCoy returned from shooting the Hobbit in New Zealand and was disappointed to find that no message had landed in his cell phone's mailbox during the flight. Colin Baker, too, waits impatiently by the phone and reads an old, illustrated Doctor Who magazine about his era as the sixth doctor. Peter Davison makes his way to meet the two of them and receives another stab on the car radio when the presenter, after John Barrowman's interpretation of "his" hymn I Am What I Am, tends to mark the 50th Who anniversary. On this day the anniversary special was announced, the moderator expresses his hope that some of the old doctors will pay their respects. The radio host highlights Peter Cushing , who died in 1994, as his absolute favorite (who only portrayed the doctor in two films in 1965 and 1966 and is not even counted among the canonical series of doctors). Davison stops listening and calls his eldest daughter, Georgia. The heavily pregnant woman pushes him away, however, in order to eat a can of ice cream and a stick of celery.
Davison arrives at a hotel for a who's convention, where the receptionist doesn't recognize him straight away and can't even place his name, which gives his ego the rest. Messages have not arrived for him either. During the autograph session, he is then confronted with annoying extra requests from a fan with a Tom Baker fan t-shirt, which of course also makes a mistake for the anniversary film. Davison tries a personal call to Steven Moffat, the secretary reluctantly passes the call through to Moffat (as Davison and various other senior actors had called several times before). Moffat lets them get rid of the actor with a cheap excuse to return to puppetry with his toy versions of Matt Smith, David Tennant and the TARDIS. He immediately deletes the message Davison left on the AB. Colin Baker is now getting on his wife's nerves because he doesn't want to help her with gardening due to poor cell phone reception. He and McCoy also leave messages on Moffats AB, which are again immediately deleted. Davison's sons are unimpressed by his disappointed announcement that he will probably not be part of the anniversary special and immediately turn back to their Doctor Who video game.
The three disaffected veterans Davison, McCoy and Baker sit down at another convention in a conference room away from the hustle and bustle and discuss how to get even the smallest role in the special. McCoy can't finish a sentence without addressing The Hobbit and the importance of "real movies" versus television, and it gets on his friends' nerves. Davison was able to find out the shooting dates for the anniversary special through a top-secret contact (who Baker quickly identified as Davison's son-in-law Tennant). They consider involving the fourth doctor Tom Baker in their plans, but nobody dares to call him. Colin Baker comes to the conclusion that a phone call couldn't be worse than eating possum's buttocks in front of a live television audience (allusion to his participation in I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! ) And puts this statement into place the deed to. At Tom Baker, however, only the answering machine reports, which informs the callers that he is "probably stuck in the fucking time vortex again". At this point, a short clip of a corresponding Doctor Who sequence from the Tom Baker era is faded in, in which the doctor is on the move as a gondolier on a river and is absorbed by a visible vortex of time shortly before crossing under a bridge. Paul McGann, who is also present, learns from his agent on the phone that he has not received any feedback from the BBC either, and joins the three colleagues. When McCoy mentioned on the way back that during the Hobbit filming he was only sitting in his trailer for days and waiting for his next scene, Davison called on him to reconsider his priorities, it was just a "comparatively unimportant 500- Millions-in-the-pan film ”, while the participation of the three in the anniversary special is of real importance. While walking, Davison is recognized and pursued by a woman in a dirndl as the leading actor from The Doctor and the Dear Cattle .

When Baker arrives at home, a package with a DVD of some Who episodes from his own era is waiting for him. His wife and four grown daughters try to escape from the evening they watch TV, but Baker informs them that he has locked all doors as a precaution. The new DVD had already been ordered to replace a "mysteriously disappeared" one.
McCoy flies back to New Zealand, but soon returns to England when director Peter Jackson once again lets him sit idle for a long time. Davison's grandiose plan is for the three gentlemen (McGann has professional obligations and Tom Baker is still unavailable) to stand in front of the BBC Television Center in London with self-painted demo posters, on which are slogans like “NO CLASSICS? NO 50th !! ”,“ 5 DOCTORS 4 JUSTICE! ”And“ HAVE A HEART - CLASSIC DOCTORS WANT A PART! ”. A short conversation between McCoy and Baker consists entirely of Doctor Who quotes in a row.
In the meantime, McCoy is needed on the Hobbit set. His absence threatens to ruin the shooting of a scene with Sir Ian McKellens Gandalf. The completely exasperated Peter Jackson asks McKellen (who at first has no idea who we are talking about) to play the scene on his own first, in which McKellen sees a clear potential improvement of the footage.
In London, John Barrowman walks past Davison on his way home from shopping and gives him a curt greetings, a few moments later he comes back and explains with amusement to the old actors that Doctor Who has not been in the BBC studios in London, as it used to be, but for a long time a permanent set in the new BBC Wales studio (Roath Lock) in Cardiff Bay / Wales . Packed with their protest signs and folding chairs, the three Barrowman jump after him and catch up with him at his car, where they are shocked to find that Barrowman has secretly a wife and two whining daughters. The frustrated father then flees with the three former doctoral actors to the filming location in Cardiff, his wife and children stay in London with their purchases and demo posters. On the way to Wales, the Captain Jack actor "delights" his fellow travelers with various musical hits from Oklahoma! , Anything Goes and La Cage aux Folles . As a farewell, Davison receives a copy of his solo album Music Music Music , Baker a DVD recording of a solo concert at the Royal Albert Hall and McCoy a copy of his best-of CD Tonight's the Night .

Before they find the studio, they accidentally stumble into the Doctor Who Experience , a nearby permanent exhibition for fans of the series. When they are once again not recognized and asked to pay the £ 45 entrance fee, they offer the clerk Barrowman's musical articles instead. The employee accepts the alternative means of payment and throws the products into a large moving box full of more John Barrowman albums, which is already filled to the brim. In the museum, the three of them steal their old costumes from the mannequins standing there and squeeze into an exhibition TARDIS, where Davison sadly discovers that it is not the "real TARDIS". So it has the same dimensions inside as outside and is too narrow for three people in the long run, and it is not a suitable means of transport into the interior of the television studio. A new plan must be drawn up.
Georgia, annoyed by the constant calls from her father, asks her husband (David Tennant), who is currently busy, to smuggle the three old actors into the studio while filming is paused. He agrees and, when he hangs up, has the feeling that he has forgotten something important. At the other end of the line, Georgia is lying in the hospital bed and is encouraged to press by the staff around her. The three gentlemen are about to give up their odyssey, but then remind each other that they are doing all this to each other "for the fans". Tennant holds an emergency exit door open through a jammed fire extinguisher, and the three men can get inside without any problems. When they enter, louder and more dramatic background music sets in, which the characters become aware of in a kind of meta-moment, for the test they go back outside again, where emphatically shallow music is played again, then return to the hallway and set theirs Search for the studio continues unhindered, only observed by two Daleks .
Georgia's eldest son Ty is now wandering through the Doctor Who exhibition with his model sonic screwdriver and remains puzzled in front of the now slightly different-looking dolls of the fifth to seventh doctor, while the three actors dress in their old costumes in a side room of the large studios forcing. Then they blaspheme, as is typical for appearances by earlier doctors, about the new design of the TARDIS interior. Fully costumed, they finally sneak into the main studio, but do not get caught, as all the employees are fascinated by the scene just filmed: The scene from The Doctor's Day shows the tenth (Tennant) and eleventh doctor (Matt Smith) as well as the war doctor ( John Hurt ), who were stuck together in the Tower of London at the time of Elizabeth I. Baker asks about Davison's further plans and finds that no one has thought beyond the actual break-in. When the Dalek cast is asked over loudspeakers to go to the set, the Davison, Baker and McCoy lock them in their locker room and take over their roles. After the scene, however, they can no longer come out of the metal housing.
At the same time, the security service has discovered the unlocked emergency exit and is looking for the intruders. The three former doctor actors are not recognized even after their release from the Dalek cases and are reminded that the Dalek contract also contains scenes in a zygon mask, which the three gentlemen do not want to know about. Two security officers search for "three men in silly clothes, presumably illegal intruders" ( illegal aliens ) all over the set . A third security guard hears John Barrowman singing I Am What I Am on the radio and, bored, clicks on his flashlight until the others call him for help. One of the three actually runs into the performers and is the first to recognize them and get autographs from everyone. When the second guard arrives and the first understands the situation, the three actors have already disappeared. The pursuers are hot on their heels, but the performers manage to hide in the studio again. The security guards are finally scared away from the set of the Under Gallery Scene as they have no special approval for the anniversary episode. The three intruders escape undetected and toast their success with champagne from coffee mugs at a bus stop before their trip home to London. At this point the short film changes again to the meta level, Davison thanks the camera team and ends the shoot with an overly clear "And ... cut!" Following the instructions of the cameraman. After a short break, another camera team shows the scene (Davison shakes the main camera team Thanks and goodbye hand) from across the street. They are identified by Baker and McCoy as the making-of documentary team. When the bus arrives, Davison receives an expected call that he hastily pushes away. The caller is Russell T Davies , who now speaks for 27 minutes on Davison's mailbox and asks him urgently to let him play a role in his short film, as the former showrunner was also unable to participate in the big anniversary special. Davison interrupts and deletes the message after a few seconds of listening and falls asleep contentedly.
Two weeks later, Steven Moffat and his technician examine the finished scenes. Since the film is still 10 minutes too long, scene 19, the attack of the (three) Daleks, which was recognized as not absolutely necessary, is completely cut out without looking at it again. The end credits follow, interrupted by another sequence ( post-credit scene ) from Moffat's post-production after the actors' names. The Under Gallery Scene is on the program . Due to an urgent call, Moffat has to leave the room, so only his employee sees three characters he knew from his childhood stumble onto the set in their old costumes before the actual scene begins and the employees present quickly throw the linen blankets over them, under which they are keep the zygons hidden in the scene. In order to ensure the preservation of the scene, the editor does not tell Moffat anything about the three intruders after his return and only shows him the relevant later course of the scene from Take One.

[1] Davison also originally wrote a scene for Tom Baker . When Baker did not respond to any of the emails for a longer period of time, Davison used an excerpt from the unfinished and never aired Doctor Who storyline Shada (1980; later used in The Five Doctors , 1983; subsequently published on VHS 1992), to explain Baker's absence in a comedic way.
