5. Doctor Who

Doctor Who

Doctor Who has been off television for quite some time when this American movie aired, and had things gone a little differently, the BBC and Fox produced TV movie would have launched a new US set seriesĀ for one of the UK’s greatest small screen creations.

In a surprising twist, British viewers actually embraced this new Doctor, but it was the Americans who ended up rejecting it. Perhaps it was just too British for them, but this take on Doctor Who was ultimately a failure because those working on it couldn’t find a way of making everyone happy.

A British reboot of Doctor Who would follow years later and is still going strong.
