The image shows a man in his forties in a dark Victorian-style coat leaning over an elaborate, hexagonal console covered in various dials, switches, levers, and decorative elements. The console has labels visible including "HUMANIAN ERA," "EARTH," and "1999." Rising from the center is a tall cylindrical glass column. The atmospheric set is lit by candlelight in the background, giving it a warm, gothic feel — very much the interior of a TARDIS console room!

Flatpack 2026: Doctor Who + Paul McGann Q&A

About Flatpack 2026: Doctor Who + Paul McGann Q&A

What do you get when you take one of the most iconic British characters of all time and stick him in 90s San Francisco? A sci-fi classic, of course.

Following the end of Doctor Who’s original run in 1989, the series was in limbo until this US-backed TV special. Paul McGann's only major outing as the character, the film received mixed reviews at the time but has gained cult status in the years since its release. Paving the way for modern, hot, young Doctors, it's 90’s camp Sci-Fi in all the best ways.

Join us as the Doctor himself, Paul McGann, materialises live onstage at Midlands Arts Centre for a Q&A after the film.
