10. Tom Baker Once Wrote His Own Doctor Who Movie
Because even the Doctor himself is desperate to get to the big screen! Public demand for a
Doctor Who movie was so great during the 1970s that incumbent Time Lord Tom Baker decided to take matters into his own hands. The actor joined forces with his TARDIS co-star Ian Marter (companion Harry Sullivan) to write
Doctor Who Meets The Sandman which would've seen our heroes encounter the Devil in the blockbuster cinematic escapade to end them all. That was the plan, anyway. The BBC even gave
Doctor Who exclusive film rights for two years but money doesn't grow on trees so the project was ultimately canned when they couldn't muster up the funds. He'll get there one day.
