It was announced last month<\/a> that feature length documentary Doctor Who Am I would be getting a theatrical release, and we now know exactly when fans will get the opportunity to see it.<\/p>\n

Kaleidoscope Film Distribution has announced that it will be released in select UK cinemas from Thursday 13th October 2022, before coming to DVD and Digital from Monday 7th November.<\/p>\n

The 80-minute film follows Matthew Jacobs, the screenwriter behind the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie<\/a>, as he drags himself back into the show\u2019s American fanbase despite the outcry from disapproving fans which occurred upon the film\u2019s release, and the subsequent rejection he felt. A trailer has also been released for the film which you can watch right here, now.<\/p>\n\n<p>While the film predominantly follows Jacobs, it also includes the original cast of the 1996 film, including Eighth Doctor Paul McGann, Eric Roberts who played The Master and Daphne Ashbrook who played companion Dr Grace Holloway.<\/p>\n<p>In the trailer, McGann can be seen acknowledging the \u201cresponsibility\u201d of those involved in <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-2022-specials-release\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Doctor Who<\/a>, saying that \u201cstories are powerful, mythologies are powerful\u201d. He also says that the sense of community and companionship in the fandom is what he enjoys most about it.<\/p> <p>Previously Jacobs said of the film: \u201cNow, more than ever, we need a positive movie about Doctor Who fandom as we move towards the show\u2019s 60th anniversary. We\u2019re so excited Kaleidoscope, like audiences have, recognise that our documentary is essential viewing for all lovers of storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doctor Who Am I will be released in select UK cinemas on Thursday 13th October 2022. <\/strong><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-2022-specials-release\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Doctor Who<\/a>\u00a0is available to stream on\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/b006q2x0\/doctor-who"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">BBC iPlayer<\/a>\u00a0with episodes of the classic series also available on BritBox \u2013 you can sign up for a\u00a0<a title=\""https:\/\/watch.britbox.co.uk\/"\" href=\"\/\/britbox.sjv.io\/c\/1236178\/1303835\/15931?subId1=radiotimes-0&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwatch.britbox.co.uk%2F"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""sponsored" noopener noreferrer\">7-day free trial here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\""NotApplicable"\" data-linkindex=\""0"\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
