1. It Really Did Tell The Story We Were Expecting, Too
With everything said before it would be easy to overlook one thing: We were expecting to be told the story of how Doctor Who was created, and we were told that story. We were just told a lot of other stories at the same time. What other production would so lovingly document the many, MANY problems encountered in Lime Grove Studio D, even obeying the old rule about showing the gun in Act 1 by mentioning the sprinkler system defects only to have the sprinklers go off as the final punch line to the pilot episode filming fiasco. With all of the themes, heartbreak, metaphors, deliberate inaccuracies, and little tributes, this was - in the end - a documentary borne out of love. It told the story of how a collection of broken and marginalized people rose above what they were and created something lasting. Something worth lasting. Verity would be proud.
