The first ‘ Doctor Who’ . William Hartnell.BBC TV , Sci Fi series first aired in 1963.

For most kids at that time , it was the Daleks and Dr Who .
A great device , was to cast an attractive young woman as his ‘ assistant ‘ . Stopped the dads from switching channels 😎

I can remember that first episode so vividly. It was a moment that changed many of us and I was delighted when it became possible to buy the earliest episodes some 30 or so years later. Gave up watching when it became too obviously of a culture to which I don't belong.

The other thing that happened that weekend also gets a mention now and then: JFK was shot.

First, and the one and only for me.

Like Bond - Sean Connery, the first and only one.

The early storylines were not great.....and it was not that popular ..
Until the Daleks came along.
They saved the series.

He was a very good actor, but by 1963 his health was failing and he often mucked up his lines. But he is still my favourite Doctor.

And one of the best I think, though I gave up watching a long time ago.

While I like Dr Who I never cared for this Dr.

Wow! Blast from the past!

I was one year old then 😊

Yay

Great programme... Scared the hell outa me as a kid... Lol

He looks a bit like Noel Coward.

Tom Baker was my all-time favorite. Have a jelly baby!
