An actor tapped by a succession of hard-man roles and a wannabe producer frustrated by the TV industry's glass ceiling find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama, time travel and monsters.

An Adventure in Space and Time WATCHALONG

You guys are like me in 2010. I just binge watched and threw myself into New Who, then went back and watched all that I could have Classic Who. Honestly my favorite classic Who are the first four doctors. But I do love the later classic doctors #5-#8 in their Big Finish audio stories. Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker…as well as their companions…I love as much as New Who. But yes, it’s totally different pacing and janky…but the actors are awesome. And if you pick up DVDs of the stories, they ALL are totally packed with documentaries. Sometimes all the bonus stuff I enjoy more than the stories. They interview everyone who was still alive and go really in depth. I recommend digging up as many DVDs as you can to get some of those documentaries

Both Hartnell and Troughton’s runs were filmed in black and white. So it’s not until the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) that everything is in color. If you want to watch all of classic Who in order, unfortunately you can’t do that. Of the black and white era, out of a total of 253 episodes, 97 are missing. This is because the BBC never planned back then for video releases, so they began junking them or recording over them. They stopped doing that in 1978, but many were lost forever. Amazingly, a bunch of kids who were fans of the show would tape the audio from their tv. So ALL of the early stories exist in audio form, and some have been released as reconstructed stories using animation or video snap shots. Often a story just has an episode or two that are missing..,but sometimes the whole story is gone on video. Fans have tracked down missing episodes that were loaned out to other countries. It’s getting less and less likely that they will recover more episodes, but there is always a chance.

I've always been meaning to watch this so I'm very happy you did so now I was able to watch it with you! This is really good, very well done and yeah the 'I don't want to go' and Matt Smith parts certainly turned up the pollen count here too! I used to watch some original Who when I was young but never saw the Hartnell ones, I know about all of it obviously but this does really give you a whole new level of appreciation for him and what the show had to do to get off the ground.

I watched the Hartnells through around 3 years or so ago and thoroughly enjoyed them. They ran as a ongoing serial were the end of a story continued into the start of the next. They rehearsed most of the week and the show was taped live in one go, like a play, to be broadcast on the Saturday. So a few fluffs are in the finished episode from time to time. It will be very slow for most of today's audience. As most things are the further you go back in time. The language of media increases as the time passes because less set up is required because we understand set ups easier. As for you viewing them it would probably be best if you ran some sort of poll for people to suggest stories to run as there are some stinkers from most era's

No who for the whole week 😢 😭

People say that Doctor Who went woke. Dude, they had the first female producer (who was Jewish), and a gay British Indian Director. Producing a show by an immigrant (albeit Canadian). Doctor Who was woke from day zero.

I know I’m very behind on my watch alongs, but I haven’t seen anyone mention yet that the old guard outside the BBC who was talking to Sydney when we first met him, the same guard who was in the background of some of the outside scenes was William Russel, the actor who played Ian Chesterton.
