Worlds Within: The Life of Ian Marter (2025)
In 1974, Ian Marter was cast as Harry Sullivan, opposite Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen, in a new era of Doctor Who. Marter was meant to be the show’s action man, but just months prior to joining, his erratic health nearly caused his death. This new feature-length documentary explores in intimate detail Marter’s turbulent, enigmatic and brilliant life.
