It may have given us Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, but the Doctor Who movie isn't all great...

Doctor Who was not in the best shape in 1996. The series had been pulled from TV seven years earlier after a decline in popularity, and fans were desperate to see it make a comeback.
So, in a bold attempt to revitalize the sci-fi classic, a feature-length special was produced called Doctor Who: The Movie. But unfortunately, it just didn't do as well as was hoped.
Paul McGann may have impressed in his only major outing as the Time Lord and the American setting certainly made things interesting, but the Doctor Who movie is mostly remembered today for being more miss than hit, a project that failed to capture the imagination of anyone with enough cash to fund a new series.
As a result, Doctor Who was left in the void for a further nine years until it was revived by the BBC. So where did it all go wrong for the McGann-led movie? Why didn't it work?
Well, we're glad you asked, because these are some of the failings that dragged the whole thing down...
