It was made as an attempt to relaunch and continue the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television franchise in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] and abroad. With no on-screen title other than ''Doctor Who'', home video releases of the film from BBC Video are marketed under the title '''''Doctor Who: The Movie'''''. The movie featured [[Sylvester McCoy]]'s final chronological appearance as the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Seventh Doctor's regeneration|his regeneration]] into the Eighth Doctor. A large period of time is implied to have passed since ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'', as the Seventh Doctor has parted with his [[companion]] [[Ace]], is visibly older, is dressed differently and is travelling alone. [[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] interior has likewise been revamped, with a brand new [[TARDIS control room|console room]] that did away with the simplistic white [[roundel]] design present throughout the show's history.

The story is also the first time that one Doctor's regeneration story also acts as the post-regeneration story for another Doctor. While focusses on the Seventh Doctor, because he regenerates so early in the movie, the rest of the film focuses on the newly regenerated Eighth Doctor as the incumbent incarnation. | |||
