Said Michael J. Nelson: "As we're fans ourselves, RiffTrax has always been dying to do a live take on Doctor Who but we have strict guidelines about the number of doctors; Four seems too few and six is just ridiculous, just doctors running everywhere. The Five Doctors hits that magical sweet spot and I think RiffTrax fans are going to love it!"Doctor Who: The Five Doctors premiered in 1983 and was produced in celebration of the series' 20th anniversary. The story follows various incarnations of the Doctor teaming up to defeat a devious Time Lord Traitor, who's using the Doctor's past selves to discover the ancient secrets of the first and most powerful ruler of Gallifrey, Rassilon. The Doctors also find themselves competing in a battle arena against Daleks, Cybermen, and Yeti.
