Doctor Who Am I is a documentary film that starred and co-written by Matthew Jacobs, the writer of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie.
it had its first screening at the Sci-Fi-London film festival in May 2022 before a general theatrical release five months later in the UK in October.
Doctor Who Am I featured other contributors of the TV Movie actors Paul McGann, Daphne Ashbrook, Eric Roberts and his wife Miranda and the man who brought the TV Movie about executive producer Philip David Segal.
Doctor Who Am I is about the legacy of the TV Movie with Jacobs going to a Doctor Who convention and going to conventions is something he hasn’t done before.
This included one fan being brutally honest to Jacobs of what he thought of that kiss in the TV Movie.
As well as exploring Doctor Who fandom here, Doctor Who Am I also presents family side of Jacobs as his father Anthony Jacobs, an actor who had been a guest star in Doctor Who when he played Doc Holliday in the William Hartnell story The Gunfighters.
Jacobs tells what his relationship with his father was like and having been on set of the Gunfighters when he was a young boy whilst Anthony was playing Doc Holliday.
In fact Matthew Jacobs’s presence on The Gunfighters had someone asking Jacobs’ memories of the late Jackie Lane (Dodo) who had shied away from the spotlight after retiring from acting and did not do conventions.
Whilst on the subject of family this included snippets of Jacobs’ home videos with his sons when they were boys and these boys now grown up turned up briefly in this film.
This film shows how comfortable it is for fans to be around fellow fans.
Whilst talking to McGann, in which Jacobs says he did not know what to say to the fans, McGann says just to start say something and things easily picked up from their.
Jacobs had fun trying on things made by fans such as him wearing a Davros mask (imagine Jacobs being Davros) and being a Dalek!
After finishing the film I found that the tagline for the movie incorporates the meaning of family with that of the inner size of the TARDIS and that is:
“A Family That Is Bigger On The Inside”
I wish I had that kind of understanding of family whilst growing up.
