I think someone should do something like this!

I mean both shows share similar paths in terms of longevity. Would also be cool to see a studio shooting the first episode of 100,000BC.

I may have already said this before, but I agree, if ever there was another show, deserving of its own "The Road To..." show, then its Doctor Who.

They're unique in their origins though, and the Corrie one lent itself better to that kind of drama - one man's idea struggling to get made and ultimately being massively successful (if complete shite, but never mind). That said, I imagine a drama series about Doctor Who's backstage history throughout its 50 years could be great. So much in the way of internal politics that shaped the show.

I'd love to see a big, multi-hour affair on this. Maybe for the 50th anniversary?

Starring Dame Judy Dench as Mary Whitehouse and Michael Caine as Michael Grade.

^^I was just about to mention that.

Though instead of a drama about Doctor Who's origins, I agree with the above suggestion of a drama about the behind the scenes affairs of the show. Hell, the 1980s, or more specifically Colin Baker's era could probably provide enough story fodder right there.

My bad. I was thinking this was more of an in depth Ken Burns style documentary thing.
