This is SO wonderful. I'm going to have to watch it lots to appreciate all of the small details and beautiful editing, but it's an amazing song choice and made me feel all the feelings. I love how much you capture the story here - the initial difficulties followed by all the joyful success, and kids falling in love with the show and how totally great Verity and Waris were. <3333 I LOVE IT THANK YOUUUU.

Lovely song choice. Without knowing the source and context, the song alone tells me a lot about the source.

Cool credits too.

I haven't actually seen the source (just a few seasons of Doctor Who) but I found this lovely! Great job!

Oh it's PERFECT. It's just perfect. My heart skipped a beat at the final closing shot of "Producer: Verity Lambert".

[cupidsbow]

This is fantastic. Must see this now, as you've sold it to me completely, festividder.

[fairestcat]

This is absolutely lovely.

You've done such a beautiful job of capturing Verity and the drive she added to get the show off the ground. Wonderful woman pushing through at a difficult time, all captured right there in the vid.

[silverhare]

Oh, superb! <3 Loving and gentle and building and utterly joyful.

[ghost_lingering]

This is lovely!

What a determined and apropos piece of music! I love your build and the weaving of the story of DW's rise due to Lambert's influence. :)

[odessie]

Ohh, this is just so lovely - inspired song choice and such a beautiful tribute to Verity and Waris. Loved how you were able to show their obstacles and their triumph so clearly with such limited footage to work with. And loved the use of the real photos at the end!

[terajk]

I haven't seen the source, but I really understood Verity & Waris's struggle to get Doctor Who made (and I loved their hug/dance), and I loved the little girl dressed as a Dalek, and the final shot gave me chills. Great editing throughout.

Oh this was just beautiful. <3 I hadn't seen this movie but the story rang through so clearly. I love your focus on Lambert, and the way they both push against the odds - not least as outsiders in a white-male-dominated world - to get the show made. Their determination and triumph is so moving and matched so well with the (klezmer!) song. The sequence at 2:16 was wonderful. All of it is wonderful!

[starlady]

This is great. The editing is spot-on (the flash to Matt Smith was perfectly used), and the way you build through the repeating of the lyrics is wonderful. I need to see the source!

[felis]

Oh, I adore the song choice for this! Your way of framing the vid is wonderful, with the Who intro and the b/w at the beginning and the photographs and the inspired last shot at the end. It also puts us firmly into the POV of the people who fought to get the show off the ground, while showing us what it is they are creating at the same time, the magic in it, through the clips you chose for the bridges on 1:02 and 2:12: first the show itself coming to life and then how it speaks to people and means something to them. So so lovely.

[astrothsknot]

that had such amazing editing. i got such a sense of Verity, pushing through with a smile despite everything thrown at her

[revolutionaryjo]

I thought I had enough distance from when I first saw this movie to not cry through the vid. I was wrong. I was so wrong. This was absolutely lovely. <3

[bingeling]

I don't know the source, so at first I thought this was about Delia Derbyshire. But no! There's another lady doing her part in the creation of Doctor Who!

I loved the music and I must watch the source now. A wonderful vid!

[sol_se]

Really beautiful! Well done!

[franzeska]

Brilliant! I had no idea what the canon was, but it quickly became clear from your editing.
