BBC Doctor Who
On 23 November, 1963, the first episode of Doctor Who was broadcast. Entitled An Unearthly Child it starred William Hartnell as the Doctor and introduced the world to this mysterious traveller and his incredible time machine known as the TARDIS.The episode also featured Carole Ann Ford as Susan, Jacqueline Hill as Barbara and William Russell as Ian. The story began when two school teachers share their concerns about one of their pupils - Susan (above). She's brilliant in some subjects but bizarrely out of kilter in others. To assuage their curiosity they follow her home, but discover 'home' is a blue police box in an old junk yard. Once they enter the box their lives, and televisual history, would never be the same.47 years later that battered blue box is still transporting the Time Lord and his companions to worlds of wonder and adventure. Long may their travels continue, and happy anniversary, Doctor!Check out the original theme music and opening titles.
