Tom Felton Meets the Superfans airs on BBC Three to critical and fanatical acclaim

At 9pm on Monday, Tom Felton’s directorial debut Tom Felton Meets the Superfans aired on BBC Three in the UK! The much anticipated documentary was met with both critical acclaim and a massively positive fan response.

The Independent called it “the most compelling documentary of the evening”, while The Telegraph said it was a “joy” and “uplifting” in its portrayal of fan culture.

The hour long look into the lives of self proclaimed Superfans quickly trended on Twitter in the UK, and was soon shot to the top of the list:

The documentary provided insight for the unaware, and was unanimously declared an accurate, and thoughtful portrayal of fandom and fan culture by the fans themselves.

At the end of the show, Tom’s Harry Potter co-stars, the fan conventions and fansites, along with Superfans were all Tweeting the same thing: what a great experience!

Of course, there’s one major problem with the show… everyone wants more!!

As a group of people dedicated to promoting Tom and his work, we would like to take this time to thank Tom for his wonderful insight into a culture mostly thought of with derision by the general populace, if not overlooked entirely.

All of us have been involved in fandom for a long time, and for Tom to feel so strongly about our community, and treat it with such respect and understanding just makes us know we’re working with a man who is definitely worth our time and efforts.

If you were a poor soul who missed the show, you can catch it on BBC iPlayer.

Earlier today, Tom responded to the many challenges he received to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. He posted two videos to his Instagram account, where he challenged Steven Gordon, From the Rough co-star Paul Hodge and Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint to take the challenge as well.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was created in order to raise funds and awareness for the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association (ALSA). ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a form of Motor Neuron Disease, which is neurodegenerative and ultimately fatal.

You can watch Tom’s videos below.

So far the challenge has raised over $88.5 million to date for the ALSA! You can donate over at the ALSA website. You can also check out Feltbeats.com’s challenge to Tom below!
