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

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.
