Rick Staff Posts: 379	William Hartnell 1963-1966 Nov 16, 2013 1:22:07 GMT Post by Rick on Nov 16, 2013 1:22:07 GMT William Henry Hartnell (8 January 1908 – 23 April 1975) First Incarnation of the Doctor First episode : The Unearthly Child Final episode : The Tenth Planet The Doctor is a mysterious character and little is known about him except that he has a granddaughter, Susan Foreman, and that they come from another time and place. He has a ship that travels through time and space, the TARDIS, which is currently disguised as a police box (Susan notes that it used to be able to change to blend in with its surroundings), and is bigger on the inside. The Doctor describes himself and Susan as "exiles" without specifying why or even whether their exile is self-imposed. It would not be until the last adventure of the Doctor's second incarnation that the name of the Doctor's people (the Time Lords) would be revealed, and the third before the name of his home planet (Gallifrey) was first spoken.

The grumpy old man. I haven't seen much of Hartnell I will admit to that so if we can see something that isn't The Unearthly Child, The Daleks or the third story is I'd be grateful! Have to say what I've seen of it has been alright and I quite like Ian and Barbara, they are in no way in awe of the man because the man never gave them a reason TO be in awe of him. Much better then what they did with Rose which was to have her hero worship him!

I might know someone with that episode so will try and get it before we watch it together, later it can be for you guys better for me as it won't be so early or middayish ..

Hi there :) Posts: 1,739 Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff Who is YOUR Doctor?: 9 (Christopher Eccleston 05) Current F1 Driver?: Jenson Button	William Hartnell 1963-1966 Nov 18, 2013 19:14:52 GMT Post by Amanda on Nov 18, 2013 19:14:52 GMT I quite like the small amount of Hartnell I've seen as well. Without any repeats of it it is up for us to go out and buy his DVDs and therein lies the problem. Older people, obsessive kinds or else real fans who breath and live Who will buy his DVDs when they come out. For me with limited resources I'll buy the DVDs for the Doctors I love to begin with and I never really saw any Hartnell growing up. I brought the Beginnings boxset because I wanted An Unearthly Child, I also brought The Romans and The Aztecs for my partner for his birthday. I think there is a lot that can be learnt from his era and something that I think can be played on once again. A grumpy Doctor, one who has companions forced on him, I thought we were getting that kind of thing with Matt, in fact a lot of it felt like Hartnell era being played by Troughton. But it never really surfaced. I also quite like the crowded TARDIS, though that isn't just Hartnell obviously! Most of the "Classic" series had more than one companion, in fact other then the two Bakers and McCoy I think everyone had a full TARDIS most of the time. I'm all up for a viewing of The Romans maybe quite late in the evening for us. 9pm?
