An Adventure in Space and Time - the Start of the Doctor Who Story
I can't claim to be a Whovian these days,
though I probably was when the series first started in 1963, but I
certainly enjoyed Mark Gatiss's dramatisation of the beginning of the
series last night on the BBC. The recreation of the period looked
spot on, and the performances of all those concerned really couldn't be
faulted. I know that the end, when William Hartnell is compelled to bow
out of the role, brought a tear to my wife's eyes. David Bradley gave a
remarkable performance as the irascible Hartnell. I wish all TV dramas
were as good as this.
