2	[[caption-width-right:350: "I would tell you a story… a story about Time."]]''Doctor Who: The Movie'' is a ''Series/DoctorWho'' movie created as an educational project by the Welsh school of Pen-y-Bryn in 2019. Thanks to the help of the charity Bobarth Wales, the film boasts impressive production value and, most notably, the presence of Creator/SylvesterMcCoy himself on the cast, with his [[Characters/DoctorWhoSeventhDoctor Seventh Doctor]] serving as as the omnipresent narrator.

4	The films stars a new incarnation of the Doctor played by Ieuan Morgans, the placement of whom in the Doctor's timeline is resoundingly ignored, although the Seventh Doctor speaks about him in the past tense. At any rate, he and his companion Lucy ([[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDAS4E9LucieMiller no relation]]) find themselves running after the Master and his unwilling apprentice Jodie ([[Creator/JodieWhittaker no relation either]]) across Time and Space as the Master zips about from timezone to timezone, wreaking havoc and collecting mechanical parts to repair his [[OutOfContinues failing body]]. As such, ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E8TheChase The Chase]]'' is the clearest influence on the film, but most every setting the characters visit is itself a homage to a ''Doctor Who'' episode past, like [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E8SilenceInTheLibrary a visit to the Library in the 51st century]] or [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E13Doomsday a tearful goodbye to a companion on a beach]].

8	!!''Doctor Who: The Movie'' provides examples of:
9	* AlasPoorVillain: Despite his having shown no sympathetic (or even [[EvilIsCool campily likable]]) trait in the entire movie, the Master's quiet, resigned, bitter death, with his walking away to die and the Doctor letting him because he knows full well the Master wouldn't accept his death, is quite a heavy, forlorn moment.
10	* TheApprentice: Jodie is enthralled by the Master's hypnotic powers and made to become his apprentice.
11	* HeroOfAnotherStory: The movie ends with the Doctor delivering her late father's last message to a young girl called Lara, at Croft Manor. [[Franchise/TombRaider Yes.]]
12	* OutOfContinues: [[Characters/DoctorWhoMasters The Master]] has once again reached the end of his regeneration cycle and is clinging on to his last, failing body.
13	* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: The Doctor and Lucy spend most of the movie arriving ''just'' too late, defeating the monster left behind in this or that timezone by the Master only to realize that ''he'' has already moved on to the next one. Since two or three of the locations are in fact castles, the Doctor even gets to say "According to my time readings, he's in another castle", thus not only playing this trope straight, but even almost verbatim!
