0:00:02 > 0:00:05This is the BBC. The following programme is based on actual events.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08It's important to remember, however,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11that you can't rewrite history. Not one line.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16Except, perhaps, when you embark on an Adventure In Space And Time...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Everything all right, sir?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Are you OK?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36You need to move along now, sir.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Sir...
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- HE KNOCKS - You're in the way.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- KNOCKING - Hello? Er, Mr Hartnell?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Mr Hartnell, sir, they're asking for you now.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57HE COUGHS
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Shall I tell them you're coming now?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Tell them what you like. - Beg your pardon, Mr Hartnell?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Tell them what you BLOODY well like!
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- Listen, I'm only doing my job. - Sod off, will you! I'm not ready!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I need more time.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Len! Len, for God's sake!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40You'll go up like a Roman Candle, if you're not careful.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Can I take my head off, mate? I'm boiling in here.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45No. We'll be starting up again in a minute.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Why? What's the hold up?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48You know who.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well, tell him to get his skates on!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Some of us have got a bloody planet to invade.- Shh!- What?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Can I see your pass, sir?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Ah, come on, Harry. You know my face!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- That's as maybe, sir. - Sydney Newman. Clue's in the name.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Better than any mug-shot. - Still need to see your pass, sir.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Ah, to hell with it!
0:03:59 > 0:04:04That's not the way we do things at the BBC, sir!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- You don't say! - HE SCOFFS
0:04:27 > 0:04:28So, we got a great,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31big thumping audience for Grandstand, but we lose them
0:04:31 > 0:04:35before the teeny boppers tune in for Juke Box Jury, right?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Right. Erm...correct. - We got a gap to plug.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- 25 minutes. - How about another Dickens?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Fossilised, Mervyn! Fusty. Frowsty.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45And lots of less polite words beginning with F.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Here's a word for you, though - fun! FUN! You heard of fun, Mervyn?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52It that something else you've brought from ITV?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I hope so, I certainly hope so!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58We need stuff to keep the sports fans hooked and the kids too.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Competitive Tiddlywinks?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- You know what I'm talking about. - science fiction?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Is it really that popular? - It was last time I took a look.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- With juvenile boys, perhaps. - I like it.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16# Oh, let's have a wonderful time Let's have a wonderful time
0:05:16 > 0:05:19# Come on, everybody and let's have a wonderful time... #
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- LAUGHING AND CHATTING - She thought the balloon had gone up.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- What? - She thought we'd all had it.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Cuba! No point in holding back if the missiles started flying.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- So she put it about a bit. - A lot!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- So what did they say?- "You're only a production assistant, dear.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44"It's a bit of a leap." I'm giving myself a year, Jackie.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Get on in television or get out. - Oh. What do I know?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I spend my time trying not to bump into the cameras,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55but don't pack in yet, Verity. Softly, softly, eh?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Mmm.- You've got a...- What?- Red wine.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Oh. Red wine.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Oh, Lord, it's on, isn't it? - What?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08The space shot! The Soviets. Valentina what's-it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- First woman in space!- Oh, God, yes! SHE SWITCHES ON THE TV
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- ANNOUNCER:- And there she is, Valentina Tereshkova looking,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25appropriately enough, on top of the world.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27VALENTINA SPEAKING RUSSIAN
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Pop, pop, pop.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The first woman in space,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38a major triumph there for the Soviet Union
0:06:38 > 0:06:41in the ever-escalating space race.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43PHONE RINGS
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Hello? - Verity, it's Sydney.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- What?- Sydney! - Sydney! Hello, stranger.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- You know anything about children, Verity?- Not a thing.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00We want to do a science fiction serial. Legitimate stuff, though.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- No tin robots or BEMs. - BEMs?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Bug-Eyed Monsters! You know... mutations and Death Rays.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Brains in glass jars, that kind of crap.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's going to run all year.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So a good-looking guy, a good-looking girl
0:07:15 > 0:07:18and a kid who gets herself into all kinds of trouble.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Plus an older man. Quirky. I'll come back to him.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24They travel about in space and time getting into scrapes!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- That's a lovely idea! - You know me. Pop! Pop! Pop!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32And we want history too. Proper history.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The kids at home should learn something.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37And what about this other man? The quirky character?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- He's a doctor.- A doctor?- Mm-hmm.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42He should be a doctor, don't you think?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Makes him an authority figure, Sorta, kinda reassuring.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52So, what do you think?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Look, Sydney, I'd love to work with you again. Really I would.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- It's just... - SHE SIGHS
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I gave myself a year. Get on in TV or get out...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Hey, hey, hey, hey.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I don't want you to be my assistant again, kid!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I want you to produce it!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Produce it?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Sure. They've never had a female producer here! Sit down!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21You're just what this place needs!
0:08:21 > 0:08:27- Someone with piss and vinegar in their veins!- Thanks! I think.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- I did a show called Pathfinders at ITV. You see it?- Um...
0:08:31 > 0:08:34We had an old guy as the hero. A grumpy old guy.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That's what we want here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45THE ARMY GANG PLAYS ON THE TV Wait for it! Attention!
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Oh, my stars! What did I do to deserve you lot?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Drivel.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- We'll make her a skirt... - No-one rung?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- SHE SCOFFS - Not since you last asked.- All right.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Five minutes ago. - All right, all right!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05You've only been out of work a couple of weeks.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, I'm not built for lazing around, am I?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I've got to graft or I'll go round the twist.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12What about that play?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Another ruddy army part! No fear. That's all they ever offer me.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Crooks and perishing Sergeant Majors!
0:09:19 > 0:09:26But that's how casting people see you, isn't it, love? Authority figures.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- # My grandfather's a funny 'un... # - Don't do that.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34# He's got a face like a pickled onion. #
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Stop it! Bloody rubbish. - Bill! Not in front of Judi.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- # My Grandfather's a funny 'un. # - I said stop it!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Why are you always so grumpy, Sampa?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48What? What's it got to do with you? Silly girl!
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Judi? Judi-poodi, darling? For goodness' sake, Bill!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Go after her!- I told the girl once. What's wrong with her?
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- Cloth-ears?- Urgh! Don't you like being successful?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07That's not success! I'm legitimate! A legitimate character actor
0:10:07 > 0:10:10of the stage and film! This is variety!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I only asked.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04What about Leslie French? He'd be marvellous.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07He's working with Visconti. Gave us a polite no.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Cyril Cusack? - A less polite no.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Ahem.- Can I help you? - I think you're in my office.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19That's a rather interesting way of looking at it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I'm rather an interesting person. - I don't doubt it. Rex Tucker.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'm looking after Doctor Who.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Pending the appointment of the permanent producer.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Oh. Is he with you? - You're looking at him.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- I keep coming back to Hugh David. - Who?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41He was in Knight Errant on ITV. Lovely actor.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Not old enough for the Doctor, surely?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Well, we don't want Grandpa Moses, do we?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49We need someone who can play older.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52The shooting schedule's going to be pretty punishing.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I've got some ideas. - I'll call Hugh. See what he thinks.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- I'd rather you didn't. - Is that a fact?- Waste of time!
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- We need someone like Frank Morgan in the Wizard Of Oz.- He's dead.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Rex...- And American.- I said "like".
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Well, perhaps we should all sleep on it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14After all, it took them months to find Scarlet O'Hara!
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Um...dear lady, may I have a word?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34PHONE RINGS
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Hello?
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Oh, yes?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Is it right you were Sydney's
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- production assistant on the other channel?- Yes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57So this is quite a promotion.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Apparently. - Bound to ruffle a few feathers.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04If feathers don't ruffle, nothing flies.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07This show is going to be a terrific challenge, you know.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Outer space. Time travel.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13In the first script, they go back to the Stone Age.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16You'll need all the help you can get.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19So, Rex is going to act as a sort of mentor to you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21A ship can't have two captains.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- Dear lady...- Please don't call me that.- Sorry.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31And what about you, Mervyn? What's your function?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I'm to be your sort of technical boffin.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Help you through the mire of all this.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Sydney obviously thinks he's got the right person for the job.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44That's what he wants for Doctor Who.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Someone with piss and vinegar in their veins.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Did he say that? - He's very blunt.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Yes.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Look, all I'm saying is, dear la...
0:13:56 > 0:14:02Verity. All I'm saying is that experience is not a dirty word.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Don't fight us.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Perhaps you could add a few drops of warm beer in with your...
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Piss and... - Mixture. Just for the time being.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18Well. We'd better clear out, we'll have the news team in here.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19That's clever.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23So they don't have to look down at their words all the time.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Yes. Quite a wheeze.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Someone'll make a fortune out of that.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- I suppose so. Shame I didn't get to the patent office faster.- Why?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I invented it!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Well, have a look at it, Bill.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46It certainly sounds different.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- And it's an old man part, you know. - Is it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yeah! It's like This Sporting Life.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Well, I love playing older!
0:14:55 > 0:14:56I know.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Well? What next?
0:14:59 > 0:15:04He's going to set up a meeting. He sounded ever so upbeat on the phone.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06He says it's a smashing role.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09For the BBC.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Yeah, yeah...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14and it's for kiddies!
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Come on, Stumpy!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Off to Madame Bovary.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Well, I'm sure he'll be happier away from us.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Any news from the design department? - They're not being very helpful, I'm afraid.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44KNOCK ON DOOR
0:15:44 > 0:15:47What is this?! What're we going to do with this?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Stone Age Man going, "Ug"! It's crazy!
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Cavemen and doctors and disappearing bloody police boxes!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- What're we going to do? - Waris Hussein. Our director.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56- Verity.- Hi.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59What have you just been working on?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Er, Compact.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Oh. High art indeed.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Shut up.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Don't people say "Ug" in Compact?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Frequently. Mostly after a liquid lunch.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14The cavemen script is the only one ready to go.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15We have to start with it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Right, and where are we shooting?
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Lime Grove. Studio D.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Oh, God, not there! We can't do anything there.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It's a broom cupboard. It's smaller on the inside.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32It's the wrong shape and the sprinklers go off when it gets hot.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Well, you'll make it brilliantly, won't you?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Oh. I see. Simple as that.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39It'll never work.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46When do we start?
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Excuse me.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Excuse me.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Hello?
0:17:00 > 0:17:01- Yes, sir?- Gin and tonic...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Vodka and tonic and a red wine, please.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Sorry, love, I'm serving...
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Vodka and tonic and a red wine, please.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Vodka tonic, red wine.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Thank you. I'd have been stood here all night.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18"We are all strangers in a strange land."
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Very profound.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Isn't it? You'll find I'm generally pretty profound.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I wish I had your front. - I wish I had your behind.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Shh!- Like a little peach. - Shut up!
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Don't be fooled, Waris. That's all it is.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Front. Inside, I'm shaking like a leaf.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I'm here by the skin of my bloody teeth.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44First Indian director this place has ever had.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47So, we've got to stick together, haven't we?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Make our little show work. That'll teach them.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Who?- The old guard.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57This - sea of fag smoke, tweed and sweaty men.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Not that I'm knocking sweaty men.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03I should hope not.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Listen, I overheard a couple of old horrors standing by the tea urn.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12They said, "Well, she didn't get here standing up, did she?"
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Sydney's bit of fluff, am I?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Well, that seems to be the impression.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18How else could you get a promotion like this?
0:18:18 > 0:18:19A promotion like what?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'm trying to recreate the Stone Age with Airfix glue
0:18:22 > 0:18:24and bloody BacoFoil!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26We're trying to.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Yes. Sorry.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Here's to us. The posh wog!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33And the pushy Jewish bird!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- L'chaim!- Cheers.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- We could have our own series! - We do!
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I don't want any of this muck, thanks very much. I'll have a drink.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Right.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48You the director, son?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Yes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Hardly out of the cradle, the pair of you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Right. Let's talk turkey.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- I'm not sure about this. Not sure at all.- No?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Apart from anything else, I don't want to take on another long run.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Had enough of that on The Army Game. Nearly killed me.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Weekly bloody rep! - Would you like to order drinks?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Whisky and soda. Chopee, chopee.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Whose idea was all this? That fella from ITV?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Sydney Newman, yes.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17But so many people have been at the birth of the thing, we'd be here all day...
0:19:17 > 0:19:19DOCTOR WHO THEME PLAYS
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Tell me about the characters.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Two school teachers.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Ian and Barbara. They're intrigued about one of their pupils.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29A young girl called Susan.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34She seems to have impossible knowledge for a girl from 1963.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40So the schoolteachers follow her home. But "home" is a junkyard...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Yes, yes, yes. Scripts. I need to see scripts.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Oh, they're going wonderfully. Wonderfully!
0:19:46 > 0:19:51The BBC are really excited about the show. They're throwing...
0:19:51 > 0:19:55everything at it. State of the art facilities.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58How do they get about? Flying saucer or something?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Ours is a space and time machine that can blend in with its background.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05You mean it's covered in invisible paint or something?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08No, no... it adapts to suit its environment.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09It gets stuck in one shape.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- A police box.- A police box?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15How gorgeous would that be? An ordinary 20th-century object
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- on the surface of an alien planet! - Fantastic!
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- And the opening titles are like nothing you've ever seen.- Yes.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24You see, if you point a camera down its own monitor,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27it creates the most wonderful shapes, patterns...
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Like mirrors, endlessly reflecting.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Swooping and pulsing, like butterfly wings.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Maybe I could be in them?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Just pop in front of the camera would you, Tony?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Let's see how that looks.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Oh, Christ, no! That's terrifying!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50..and wait till you hear the music,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53we're using the latest technology.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55How did you do it?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Brian's house keys.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59SCRAPING NOISE
0:20:59 > 0:21:00And what about the Doctor himself?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03He's something like 600 years old.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Looks like a senile old man but he's tough.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Tough and wiry like an old turkey.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13It's what you do so well, Mr Hartnell. Stern and scary...
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- but with a twinkle.- Trust me, Bill. You're perfect for it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18No-one will be able to resist you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You really think so?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23CS Lewis meets HG Wells meets Father Christmas.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24That's the Doctor.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Doctor who, hmm?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Come on, big smiles!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33And again.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Come on, big smiles.- Cheers!- Lovely.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Come on, one more.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Lovely stuff. That's it!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42You're a brick for doing this.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- Contractually obliged, darling. - No, no! I mean the show.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51You'll all give it such gravitas. Thank you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52So, what do you make of him?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Oh, I've always been a fan. Wonderful screen actor.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58He frightens the life out of me.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I think he's sweet. Bless him.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Bless him? He's not as old as he looks.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Must've had a tough life.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Are you OK?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Scared to death!- Me too.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13How about one of just the three of you then?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Oh, well. Goodbye, real world!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17One more.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Patience.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I have the patience of a saint. But it's wearing very thin!
0:22:26 > 0:22:29We need the inside of the TARDIS right now!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I'm busy.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You'll get your time machine when I can find a moment...
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Too busy for a children's programme, is that it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Patience.
0:22:41 > 0:22:48"If you could touch the alien sand and listen to the sound of..."
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Bugger!
0:22:49 > 0:22:55"If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cry of strange birds
0:22:55 > 0:22:59"and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?
0:22:59 > 0:23:04"Susan and I are cut off from our own people.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10"But one day we shall get back. Yes. One day.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11"One day."
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Who's Susan? - My granddaughter.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I'm your granddaughter.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Yes. Yes, of course you are, darling.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24But she's my granddaughter in the story I'm doing on the television.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I play a funny old man who lives inside a magic box.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Like a jack-in-the-box, Sampa?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32A little like that, yes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37But, this is a machine in disguise. A time machine.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Do you know how to fly a time machine, Sampa?
0:23:40 > 0:23:46Hm? Yes! Yes, of course I do! You'll see.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You'll see when I'm on the television.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52We'll be going back through history to meet kings and queens.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54And off to distant planets
0:23:54 > 0:23:57where the Doctor will have all kinds of adventures.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59The Doctor?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01He's the old man I'm playing.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05A doctor? Does he make people better?
0:24:10 > 0:24:16- No! I have...- Don't you think you're being rather high-handed, young man?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You thought you saw a young girl enter the yard.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20You imagine you heard music or her voice?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24You believe she might be in there? Not very substantial, is it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25But why won't you help us?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I'm not hindering you. You intrude here....
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- He's tetchy as hell. - ..start making accusations and implications.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35If you both want to make fools of yourselves,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I suggest you do what you said you'd do.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Go and ask a policeman... Bugger! FETCH a policeman.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45While you nip off quietly in the other direction, I suppose.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Come on, Barbara.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49What are you doing out there, Grandfather?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Go back inside! Shut the door! Shut that door!
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Barbara!
0:24:53 > 0:24:55OK! OK, everyone.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Fantastic. That's where we stop the tape and go inside the spaceship.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01When it's built!
0:25:01 > 0:25:02OK. Good. Well done.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Everyone happy?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07No, I'm not happy. Not at all. Er, Miss Lambert.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09A word, if you please.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Coffee?- Good idea.- Thank you.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15The set for the machine? TARDIS?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17When is it arriving?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19There's, er, there's been a...delay.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24It won't do. It just won't do. I don't know how I'm expected to cope
0:25:24 > 0:25:27with all the technical gibberish I have to spout
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- without a bloody set to work on. - I'm sorry, Bill.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34II need time to plot out all the buttons, you see.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Buttons?- On the controls! All the switches and dials.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I need to know what they all do.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42What if I press something to open the doors
0:25:42 > 0:25:45and the next week I use it to blow us all up!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You must see that?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50The children will spot it, you see, if we try and fudge it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52And we must discuss my character.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Absolutely.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57He's too abrasive. Too nasty. Do you see?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Where's that twinkle you talked about?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02The thing that made me so right for it?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I... Oh, Sydney!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Sydney Newman, Head Of Drama,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10let me introduce you to Mr William Hartnell.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Right! Our Doctor! Great choice.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'm a big fan. Big fan.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Oh, thank you. But I do need to discuss...
0:26:19 > 0:26:23What was that terrific war picture, you were in? What was that?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Well, I've done a few. The Way Ahead?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Yeah! Hell of a picture. You were sensational!
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Oh! Do you really think so?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Oh, yes. Absolutely extraordinary.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I did get some very nice notices. Yes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Was that before or after Brighton Rock?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Oh, before...
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Of course! You were in Brighton Rock! Wow!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51What a performance!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Oh. Well. Ha-ha. You're very kind.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58It should have led to much bigger and better things, you know,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00but, erm...I wasn't blessed.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Not blessed? What the hell are you talking about?
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Of course you're blessed. You're going to be Doctor Who, aren't you?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- Well, yes... - Perfect choice for my little show. My idea anyway.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15That's what I do. Ideas! One day I came into ITV.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16"I got an idea," I said.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19"The Avengers!" "What's it about?" they said.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23"How the hell should I know," I said. "But what a title!"
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Pop! Pop! Pop!
0:27:27 > 0:27:32You, sir, are going to make a huge impact with this character.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I am?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Only a movie star could do it. So nuanced.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40So many layers.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Well, you know. One tries.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47And these kids are perfect for it.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51You couldn't be in safer hands. Fun! Energy!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Youth! Pop! Pop! Pop!
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Freaks.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Thank you so much, Sydney.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You've no idea what a difference it makes...
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Be a producer, Verity. Find a way to deal with this stuff.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Or are you out of your depth?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28What are you doing?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Being patient.- What? - I can be very patient.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- You can't stay here! - Now, what shall we talk about? I've got all day.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Don't be ridiculous!
0:28:40 > 0:28:44The Old Curiosity Shop! The Roman Forum!
0:28:44 > 0:28:47The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon!
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Symphonies in pencil and ink.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54So, surely you can turn your hand to my teeny little time machine?
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Just turn that blazing talent of yours to my little kiddies' show
0:29:00 > 0:29:02and who knows what might happen?
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Won't take you more than half an hour.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07You are a very trying woman.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Then I'll get out of your hair.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Maybe the muse will be with you!
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Maybe it will be the best thing you've ever thought of.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Very well! Very well!
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Here. Here, madam.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Here's your bloody TARDIS!
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Turned out rather well, hasn't it?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Through the cupboard doors and into Narnia!
0:29:55 > 0:29:58It's too bloody big. Takes up half the studio.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Yes, yes?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Yes, yes, Waris, I heard him. - Thank you.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Right. Can you pass me my script, please?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- This is ridiculous! - Sorry, boys and girls.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11He says he won't have his teeth blacked out, Guv.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- Dougie, it's 100,000 BC! - Yeah, I know.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16It's the Tribe Of Gum.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18He says he got them whitened to get onto the telly.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Well, does it matter? We only see his bloody shadow.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- I'll do it!- What?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I don't mind blacking my teeth.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28I've already got sand fleas in my Y-fronts. Can't get much worse.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31OK, stout man! I think we're sorted then, Guv.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Thank you, Duggie.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Red light, bell... BELL RINGS
0:30:35 > 0:30:37OK, into position, everyone,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40and roll to record in 15...
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- God, it's hot in here. Anyone else hot?- Yeah.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Can we do something about the heat?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- I thought he'd be used to it.- What?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Nothing.- Watch it, Arthur.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Five minutes, chum. Then they turn the lights out.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Them's the rules.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01OK, everyone. Quiet, please.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02QUIET!
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Five...four...three...
0:31:19 > 0:31:23OK, come in to camera one, on one.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25OK, clear two.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31These people are known to you, I believe.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32What are you doing here?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34They're two of my schoolteachers.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Is that your excuse for this unwarrantable...
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Unwarranted intrusion?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42You had no right to invite them here.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I blame you for this, Susan.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- You will insist on... - OK, come in on, er...
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Come in on three.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- I warned you.- But, Grandfather, I...
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Is this really where you live, Susan?- Yes!
0:31:52 > 0:31:55On three. Coming on one.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56It was just a box!
0:31:56 > 0:31:58On one, on three.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Come in on two.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03You see, I knew this would happen.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Move the camera.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Get hold of the cable! Get the cable!
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Move the bloody camera! Arthur, what the hell is he doing?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Why doesn't he have a go?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Now we are here, I'd just like to...
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I know this is absurd, but...
0:32:16 > 0:32:17DOORS CREAK
0:32:17 > 0:32:20The doors! What's happening to the doors?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- It moves.- The TARDIS can go anywhere.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24TARDIS? I don't know what you mean, Susan.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I made up TARDIS from the initials.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I thought you'd both realise when you came inside
0:32:32 > 0:32:35and saw the different dimensions from outside.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38What's... What's happening to the bloody doors?
0:32:38 > 0:32:42A thing that looks like a police box, stuck in a junk yard,
0:32:42 > 0:32:46can move anywhere in time and space?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Oh, Susan, don't be ridiculous!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Oh, Christ, stiff as Scotchman's wallet!
0:32:50 > 0:32:53But you are one of us. You look like us.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54You sound like us.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I was born in the 49th century.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01ALARM BELL RINGS
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Oh...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Covers! Get the covers!
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Everybody out.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Am I on yet?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Anyone?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I've done me teeth.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Wish I knew what bloody dimension I was in.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26Hello?
0:33:26 > 0:33:27Anyone?

0:33:41 > 0:33:43But you can't keep them prisoner here!
0:33:43 > 0:33:45He can't keep us prisoners anywhere.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I cannot let you go, schoolteacher.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Whether you believe what you have been told is of no importance.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53You and your companion would be footprints in a time
0:33:53 > 0:33:55we were not supposed to walk.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58If I have to use force to get out of here, I will, you know.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Maybe we've stumbled on something beyond our understanding.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Oh, why did you come here, why?!
0:34:03 > 0:34:04Grandfather, no!
0:34:04 > 0:34:06No, you don't!
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Oh, stop it! Let him go!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Let me go!
0:34:10 > 0:34:11DOCTOR WHO THEME PLAYS
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Let's go to lunch.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Not hungry?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Don't seem to have much of an appetite.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Not surprised.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I should fire the pair of you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Right. Take out the reference to the future time they've come from.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51The 49th Century? Too specific. It's Doctor Who, remember.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55And the old guy's too nasty. He should be cuter. Funnier.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59And the kid needs to be cheeky too. Like a regular teenager.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Did you like any of it?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Not much. Hate the opening titles. - You're joking?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Too weird.- It's sensational! Just because it's new.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Hey! Hey! I like new. I do new, remember?!
0:35:11 > 0:35:14It's too scary for the kids.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I-I thought we were trying to scare them.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Scare them, not traumatise them! Change it.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Over my dead body.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23It can be arranged.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It'll cost. And they'll crucify me for it.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34What?
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Do the whole thing again.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42I'm not right for the part.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Bill...- Just not right for it. It... It isn't me.- Bill!
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- Isn't me at all!- Listen to me. Sydney thought it was good.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52He's over the moon! I let you down.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56You let me down?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00You were right. You were so right.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Look, we've made the Doctor too abrasive.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05We need much more of you in him.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Much more charm and warmth and twinkle.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10You knew it, I couldn't see it.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13You sure you've got the right man?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Of course I am.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I'm-I'm frightened, you see,
0:36:21 > 0:36:26I've...never really done anything like this before.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31The...pressure, the schedule and all those ruddy words...
0:36:34 > 0:36:36I'm here for you, Bill.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Promise?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Every step.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Right...
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- I've got to tell the others now. - Time and tide wait for no man, eh?
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Time and space, Bill. And they wait for no woman either.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14I'm not hindering you.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17If you both want to make fools of yourselves,
0:37:17 > 0:37:19I suggest you do what you said you'd do.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Go and find a policeman.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Clear three, clear three.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Move to shot two. Tighter on two.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I shall be here when you get back.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I want to see your faces when you try and explain...
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Tighter on one.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34..Chesserman... Chesterton.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36He got the name wrong. He got the name wrong.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Can we go back? Can we go back?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We've already stopped recording three times.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Only one more edit allowed, son.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Thank you, Mervyn. Four edits in the whole show!
0:37:45 > 0:37:48It's so bloody primitive!
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Young man speak truth! BBC equipment from Stone Age!
0:37:50 > 0:37:53We have no choice, do we? Onwards, Waris. Onwards!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55OK, stand by one
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Oh, no, Grandfather! No!
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Let me through. Get back to the ship, child!
0:38:05 > 0:38:08It could be anywhere.... Dear, dear, dear, dear.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10It's of no help to us at all.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14I suggest before we go outside and explore, let us clean ourselves up.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Oh, yes. - What does the radiation read, Susan?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20It's reading normal, Grandfather.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26DOCTOR WHO THEME PLAYS
0:38:31 > 0:38:33OK. Good.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36I'll tell them we can make the transmission date.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42How are the other scripts coming along?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Your Canadian pal is doing us one about Marco Polo.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Terrific! That's more like my brief.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Get the kids hooked on real history.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51We're also trying one of Tony Hancock's writers - Terry Nation.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52You got a script?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- Yes. It's good.- What's it about?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Robots.- No, no, no. They're not robots.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Rule one - no robots!
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- Rule two...- No bug-eyed monsters! I know. But I promise you they're not.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04It's a really interesting story.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Set on a distant planet after a nuclear war...
0:39:07 > 0:39:10OK, OK. Whatever. Send it straight up to me.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Then we'll see.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23This time in a few of weeks, episode one will have aired.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Hm.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Brave heart, darling. I think we'll be a smash.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Fingers crossed. We could do with a bit of luck.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15- Really?- Well, enough to know garbage when I see it.
0:43:15 > 0:43:16- Jesus. Dorloks.- Daleks!
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Whatever! Bug-eyed...
0:43:18 > 0:43:21They're not bug-eyed monsters!

0:43:38 > 0:43:43It's strong stuff, Sydney, and I really, truly believe in it.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48Well, I wanted someone with piss and vinegar.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55I think we've got something really special here, Sydney.
0:43:55 > 0:43:56A knockout.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58We've just got to hold our nerve.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01OK.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04OK.
0:44:04 > 0:44:05I'll talk to the high-ups.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16- And I want a repeat.- What?
0:44:16 > 0:44:20On Saturday. Repeat episode one before episode two.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24- No-one was watching because of the assassination.- Oh, I see!
0:44:24 > 0:44:25This is Kennedy's fault?
0:44:25 > 0:44:28We deserve a fair crack of the whip, Sydney.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33You'd better be right about these...Daleks.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37Let me be very clear, young lady.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Your neck's on the block.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52Come on, get a move on. It's like a rabbit hutch in here.

0:46:21 > 0:46:28You will recover shortly unless you force us to use our weapons again.
0:46:28 > 0:46:34- Well, everyone, meet the Daleks. - Gosh, they're creepy, aren't they?
0:46:36 > 0:46:38They're actually really creepy.

0:46:55 > 0:47:01DALEK VOICES EMANATING FROM TV
0:47:01 > 0:47:05- THE DOCTOR:- Why? Because we weren't aware of it until it was too late, that's why.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08DALEK: The truth is that your supply of drugs has failed
0:47:08 > 0:47:11and you came into the city to see if you could find more.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14Thals? What are you talking about?
0:47:14 > 0:47:17We're not Thals, or whatever you may call them.
0:47:17 > 0:47:18Can't you see we're very ill?
0:47:18 > 0:47:24- You and your companions need a drug to stay alive.- We have no gloves.
0:47:24 > 0:47:25Drugs.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27- You said "gloves".- Eh?
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Yes, yes. I...I did.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37Because the Daleks are nasty and you need special gloves to touch them.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Y-y-yes.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45Yes. You know things like that because you're Doctor Who.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49That's...that's right.
0:47:58 > 0:48:02- Exterminate!- Exterminate! - Exterminate!- Exterminate!
0:48:02 > 0:48:06- Exterminate!- Exterminate! - Exterminate!- Exterminate!
0:48:06 > 0:48:08You will be my prisoner!
0:48:09 > 0:48:12You won't believe what I saw on the bus this morning. It's...thrilling.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Sydney wants you, Verity.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Ten million viewers for your bug-eyed monsters.
0:48:50 > 0:48:51Ten million.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56So...
0:48:56 > 0:48:58What do I know about anything?
0:49:01 > 0:49:02Well done, kid.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23A bus? What were you doing on a bus?
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Getting in touch with our audience.

0:50:51 > 0:50:54- Do you like it?- Gorgeous, Carol. - I wonder if they'll let me buy it.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57- It'll turn a few heads on the Kings Road.- Oh, God.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02- Something the matter, Bill?- You should be more careful, sweetheart,
0:51:02 > 0:51:04throwing your money around like that.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07It's an insecure profession, you know.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10- We should all bear that in mind. - Fancy anything at Newmarket, Bill?
0:51:10 > 0:51:12You know what I mean. I'm just saying.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Splashing out on new togs all the time,
0:51:14 > 0:51:16you don't know you're bloody born!
0:51:16 > 0:51:19I'm not a child. I'll spend it how I like.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26You're right, of course, Bill.
0:51:26 > 0:51:29None of us knows how long this is going to last.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31No-one's irreplaceable.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54- Who told you that?- Everyone mentions it. So, you didn't go to RADA?
0:51:54 > 0:51:59- Roedean, darling.- Eh? - The girls' school.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01Must have been a typo on my CV.
0:52:01 > 0:52:02I've not got the heart to tell Sydney.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Bill, thank you so much for the flowers.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Sorry to see you go, son.
0:52:08 > 0:52:13- So, what's next for you?- I've been offered A Passage To India.- One-way?
0:52:13 > 0:52:16- Bill, I hope you never change. - Bill, Bill, come on.
0:52:16 > 0:52:20- Quiet, please, everybody.- Oh, yes. - Bit of hush, ladies and gents.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27- Sure you won't stay? Do some more with us?- Pastures new.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29It's been a bloody blast, Verity.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33Couldn't have done it without you, darling. Shoulder-to-shoulder.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46I saw you interfering with some dials only last night,
0:52:46 > 0:52:49so I've decided to show you all the things that you mustn't touch
0:52:49 > 0:52:50under any circumstances.
0:52:54 > 0:52:59Exterminate, exterminate!
0:52:59 > 0:53:01What the bloody hell?!
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Hello, my darling.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10What do you think?
0:53:12 > 0:53:14"Thrills galore.
0:53:14 > 0:53:21"Full-size, real-life Dalek playsuit from the BBC TV series Doctor Who."
0:53:21 > 0:53:25Strike a light! "Only 66 shillings and sixpence."
0:53:25 > 0:53:27LAUGHTER
0:53:27 > 0:53:30- And we have these.- Goodness!
0:53:30 > 0:53:33Man and boy, I've been at this lark.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35But I've never known anything like it.
0:53:36 > 0:53:37Incredible.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43No-one's irreplaceable, eh?
0:53:45 > 0:53:47So much for softly-softly.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49At this rate, you'll be running the place.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58- "Dear Uncle Who."- Uncle Who!
0:54:00 > 0:54:02"I've got my...
0:54:02 > 0:54:06"physics O-level coming up and I need your help."
0:54:06 > 0:54:10I don't know why they think I can help them.
0:54:10 > 0:54:11It's all gobbledygook to me.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Please.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Doctor Who, can I please have your autograph?
0:54:21 > 0:54:23Now, then, what's this?
0:54:23 > 0:54:27- An autograph? - Teacher said it would be all right.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31- Well, that must make you a very special little boy, um...- Alan.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Thank you.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46Please, Doctor?
0:54:47 > 0:54:52- Yes, what is it, um...- (Alan.) - What is it, Alan?
0:54:52 > 0:54:56- Please, when are them Daleks coming back?- Daleks?
0:54:56 > 0:55:00- They're taking over the ruddy world. - It's what they do best, isn't it?
0:55:01 > 0:55:03Oh!
0:55:03 > 0:55:06- CHILDREN:- Wow!- Oh, wow!
0:55:08 > 0:55:09Goodness me!
0:55:11 > 0:55:16Come along, come along. Keep up! We must all get back to the TARDIS.
0:55:19 > 0:55:20What's this? What's this?
0:55:20 > 0:55:22- Look out!- What?! - Look out! Run, run!
0:55:22 > 0:55:26Exterminate! Exterminate!
0:55:26 > 0:55:28CHILDREN SCREAM
0:55:32 > 0:55:34Take three.
0:55:55 > 0:55:56Cut!
0:55:56 > 0:56:00Cut! Right, one more, please. Quick as you can.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03Len, you were nearly off the kerb.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06Why is it we always seem to have to go again because of YOU?
0:56:06 > 0:56:08I need a wee, don't I? You try being in here.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12- Reset, let's go again! - It's not my fault!
0:56:12 > 0:56:15Bill. Bill, I thought I might try something
0:56:15 > 0:56:17- when I'm carrying you down the ramp. - What?
0:56:17 > 0:56:20I thought maybe I just throw a look towards you,
0:56:20 > 0:56:23showing the Roboman's inner turmoil.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25You know, I was a man once
0:56:25 > 0:56:28sort of thing, before the Daleks made me like this.
0:56:28 > 0:56:29What do you think?
0:56:29 > 0:56:32- Don't be so bloody ridiculous. - It was just a suggestion.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Yes, well, stow it.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36- What's up with you? - Mind your own business.
0:56:38 > 0:56:39Oi, Len! Over here!
0:56:42 > 0:56:46- It's not too late, you know. - No, I've made up my mind.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50- They can rewrite this stuff in a shot.- It's time to move on, Bill.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53- There's lots of other things I want to do.- Well, of course.
0:56:53 > 0:56:57And there's more to life than just screaming at nasty monsters.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59That's no way to talk about me.
0:57:09 > 0:57:12THE DOCTOR: One day, I shall come back.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15Yes, I shall come back.
0:57:18 > 0:57:24Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
0:57:25 > 0:57:30Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me
0:57:30 > 0:57:33that I am not mistaken in mine.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38Goodbye, Susan.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42Goodbye, my dear.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58That's lovely, Bill. Really lovely.
0:58:03 > 0:58:05Doesn't like farewells, does he?
0:58:12 > 0:58:15Just stepping off for a minute, Waris.
0:58:28 > 0:58:30- Waris? - He's been doing that a lot lately.
0:58:42 > 0:58:45- That's it. - Look over towards Bill, Maureen.
0:58:45 > 0:58:48- That's it. Smile over here, please. - Big smile!
0:58:48 > 0:58:50- ALL:- Cheers!
0:58:50 > 0:58:52Cheers!
0:58:52 > 0:58:56One more. One more! Just look at Bill.
0:58:58 > 0:59:00DOG BARKS
0:59:04 > 0:59:06You look all-in.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08Mm.
0:59:08 > 0:59:10Come on, love. Why don't you get your head down?
0:59:10 > 0:59:13We can go through this in the morning.
0:59:13 > 0:59:14No, no. Got to get 'em in.
0:59:14 > 0:59:16Got to.
0:59:21 > 0:59:24Maybe it's time you thought about moving on, love.
0:59:24 > 0:59:26Moving on?
0:59:26 > 0:59:28You're shattered all the time.
0:59:28 > 0:59:32I can't! Even if I wanted to. They're all relying on me.
0:59:32 > 0:59:36Hundreds of people, aren't they? And all those kiddies out there.
0:59:36 > 0:59:44You can't have Doctor Who without Doctor Who, can you? Come on.
0:59:48 > 0:59:52Vortis? What galaxy is that in?
0:59:55 > 0:59:58(It's the Isop Galaxy.)
0:59:58 > 1:00:01The Isop Galaxy, Chesterton.
1:00:01 > 1:00:06- It's many...- Many. - ..many...light years...- Away.- ..away.
1:00:10 > 1:00:12OWL HOOTS
1:00:13 > 1:00:17COUGHING
1:00:25 > 1:00:30- DALEK:- 'He is becoming delirious. I do not understand his words.'
1:00:30 > 1:00:35'He is becoming delirious. I do not understand his words.'
1:00:38 > 1:00:43Bill mustn't know I've spoken to you. He'd play merry hell.
1:00:43 > 1:00:45What's the matter?
1:00:47 > 1:00:49Our GP rang.
1:00:50 > 1:00:52Bill's not very well.
1:00:52 > 1:00:56Oh, dear. Nothing serious?
1:00:56 > 1:01:00Not in the short-term. It's, um...
1:01:00 > 1:01:04er...arteriosclerosis.
1:01:06 > 1:01:11It's a hardening of the arteries.
1:01:11 > 1:01:13I see.
1:01:19 > 1:01:24He smokes too much. Drinks too much.
1:01:24 > 1:01:28And these days, the only exercise he gets is walking the dog.
1:01:28 > 1:01:32That, plus doing Doctor Who virtually all year...
1:01:33 > 1:01:35Do you think he should stop?
1:01:35 > 1:01:40No. No, he couldn't bear that. He loves the programme.
1:01:40 > 1:01:44He's so proud of it. And all of you. You should hear him.
1:01:44 > 1:01:46But if there's anything you can do
1:01:46 > 1:01:48to lift the burden from his shoulders,
1:01:48 > 1:01:51you know, let him slow down a little.
1:01:54 > 1:01:59Well...I'll have a quiet word with my successor.
1:02:01 > 1:02:03Oh.
1:02:05 > 1:02:07Oh. I see.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18Vortis? What galaxy is that in?
1:02:18 > 1:02:22The Isop Galaxy, Chesterfield. Chesterton!
1:02:22 > 1:02:27Many, many light earths... light years...
1:02:27 > 1:02:28from us.
1:02:30 > 1:02:36From...from Earth. And yet the...Vortis...
1:02:36 > 1:02:38Vortis planet hasn't a moon.
1:02:41 > 1:02:44Hm? Eh?
1:02:46 > 1:02:48- DIRECTOR:- Right, hold it there, please!
1:02:48 > 1:02:52All this stuff, I can do it with a look.
1:02:52 > 1:02:55Bill, I really think we should stick with what's on the page.
1:02:55 > 1:02:58Verity. I can do all this with a look, you know.
1:02:58 > 1:03:00I don't need all these lines.
1:03:00 > 1:03:03It's like ruddy King Lear!
1:03:03 > 1:03:05I remember Lindsay Anderson saying the same thing about me
1:03:05 > 1:03:07on Sporting Life.
1:03:07 > 1:03:10He just ripped a couple of pages out of the script.
1:03:10 > 1:03:12"Bill can do all this with a gesture," you see.
1:03:12 > 1:03:15"A raised eyebrow." Do you see what I mean?
1:03:18 > 1:03:20Of course.
1:03:22 > 1:03:24Bless you.
1:03:24 > 1:03:27Actually, I'm glad to have the chance to talk to you, Bill...
1:03:27 > 1:03:29- You're my rock, Verity.- Oh... - You know that. My rock.
1:03:29 > 1:03:31I don't know about that...
1:03:31 > 1:03:34Since that day you first started telling me about Doctor Who,
1:03:34 > 1:03:36I've been spellbound.
1:03:36 > 1:03:40Spellbound! But look at us now, eh? Just look at us!
1:03:40 > 1:03:42Our arses are in butter!
1:03:44 > 1:03:47What did you want to tell me?
1:03:48 > 1:03:49LAUGHTER
1:03:49 > 1:03:53..Which, of course, was her way of saying take a hike!
1:03:53 > 1:03:56So, I am justifiably proud of myself.
1:03:56 > 1:03:59I can spot talent light years away.
1:03:59 > 1:04:02Ladies and gentlemen, Verity.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05Best goddamn appointment I've ever made.
1:04:05 > 1:04:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:04:07 > 1:04:09Verity!
1:04:09 > 1:04:12ALL: # For she's a jolly good fellow
1:04:12 > 1:04:14# For she's a jolly good fellow
1:04:14 > 1:04:16# For she's a jolly good fellow
1:04:16 > 1:04:19# And so say all of us!
1:04:19 > 1:04:21# And so say all of us!
1:04:21 > 1:04:23# And so say all of us!
1:04:23 > 1:04:26# For she's a jolly good fellow
1:04:26 > 1:04:28# For she's a jolly good fellow
1:04:28 > 1:04:31# For she's a jolly good fellow
1:04:31 > 1:04:34# And so say all of us. #
1:04:41 > 1:04:43Not joining us?
1:04:43 > 1:04:46Perhaps in a minute.
1:05:02 > 1:05:06Bill, I wanted to say thank you.
1:05:06 > 1:05:09For everything you've done.
1:05:09 > 1:05:12- I'm in demand and it's all down to you.- Oh, nonsense.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15In no small measure, Bill. Doctor Who has made me.
1:05:15 > 1:05:17But why does it have to change?
1:05:17 > 1:05:22Why do things always have to change? Why can't we just go on as we are?
1:05:26 > 1:05:28Life.
1:05:32 > 1:05:35What about you? Not ready for a rest?
1:05:35 > 1:05:38Me? No. No. Not a bit.
1:05:38 > 1:05:41This old body of mine is good for a few years yet!
1:05:43 > 1:05:46- SHE SIGHS - I'm going to miss all this.
1:05:52 > 1:05:54You've got, erm...
1:05:54 > 1:05:56Oh.
1:05:56 > 1:05:57Let me.
1:06:07 > 1:06:09What am I going to do without you?
1:06:26 > 1:06:28Till we meet again.
1:06:54 > 1:06:56- That's it.- Everybody ready?
1:06:56 > 1:07:00- Smile!- Mr Purves...- Jackie... - Look at each other.
1:07:00 > 1:07:03- That's it. Lovely! - Peter, give us a smile. Lovely.
1:07:03 > 1:07:06All right, when you're ready, Bill.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09Mr Hartnell to you, sonny.
1:07:09 > 1:07:10Sorry.
1:07:10 > 1:07:13You might call me by my first name if we get to know each other better.
1:07:13 > 1:07:17If you... if you last on my show, that is.
1:07:18 > 1:07:21Can we go from the top of the scene, Mr Hartnell?
1:07:21 > 1:07:24- You make the TV screen come on. - The scanner.
1:07:24 > 1:07:25Scanner, right.
1:07:25 > 1:07:28And then you flick the switch and the doors open.
1:07:28 > 1:07:31- No, no. Can't do that.- Beg pardon?
1:07:31 > 1:07:34I'd have to move round to the other side.
1:07:34 > 1:07:36That's where the door switch is.
1:07:36 > 1:07:39- Does it matter? - Of course it matters!
1:07:39 > 1:07:43All right. We'll work around it. You move where you like...
1:07:43 > 1:07:45- Mr Hartnell.- Thank you. I will.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47OK. Top of the scene, then.
1:07:50 > 1:07:54The glass cylinder should be going up and down.
1:07:54 > 1:07:58- The ship is in flight. - Right. Yes. Sorry.
1:08:03 > 1:08:06- Well?- Sorry. Be right with you.
1:08:15 > 1:08:17Anybody know how to make it go?
1:08:17 > 1:08:20For Christ's sake! Doesn't anyone know how to do anything?
1:08:20 > 1:08:24Out you go, out, out. I'll sort it myself.
1:08:32 > 1:08:34HE BREATHES HEAVILY
1:08:38 > 1:08:41- Red light, and bell. - BELL RINGS
1:08:41 > 1:08:44Roll to record.
1:08:44 > 1:08:47In 15, 14...
1:08:47 > 1:08:50Quiet, please, everyone.
1:08:50 > 1:08:53OK, everyone ready? Ready now.
1:08:54 > 1:08:57- There's a...- Ten...
1:08:57 > 1:08:59..a lot of people dancing about in my eyeline.
1:08:59 > 1:09:04- It's very off-putting. Do you mind? Thank you.- ..five, four...
1:09:08 > 1:09:12Now...they've all gone.
1:09:14 > 1:09:15All gone.
1:09:18 > 1:09:23None of them ever understood. Not even young Susan, or...
1:09:32 > 1:09:34..or V-V-Vicki.
1:09:36 > 1:09:42And then there's Barbara and Chatterton...
1:09:42 > 1:09:43Ch-Ch-Chesterton!
1:09:43 > 1:09:45(Oh, God.)
1:09:48 > 1:09:51Perhaps I should go back to my own time.
1:09:53 > 1:09:54To my own planet.
1:09:57 > 1:09:58But I...
1:10:00 > 1:10:01I can't...
1:10:03 > 1:10:05I can't...
1:10:08 > 1:10:10Is everything OK?
1:10:10 > 1:10:12I, er...I can't...
1:10:13 > 1:10:15Are you all right?
1:10:15 > 1:10:17I...
1:10:18 > 1:10:20I can't...
1:10:26 > 1:10:28- Mr Hartnell?- I, er...
1:10:30 > 1:10:33Mr Hartnell?
1:10:48 > 1:10:53Anneke! Anneke, turn to me, love. Turn to me. Thanks, love.
1:10:53 > 1:10:55I could get used to this. How about you?
1:10:55 > 1:10:59- As you can see... - Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
1:10:59 > 1:11:03It can't go on. He's become so difficult to work with.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05- And his lines...- I hear you!
1:11:07 > 1:11:09The poor man's worn out.
1:11:09 > 1:11:12Shame. Goddamn shame.
1:11:14 > 1:11:18- So, that's that, I suppose. - What do you mean?
1:11:19 > 1:11:23Well, we can't have Doctor Who without Doctor Who, can we?
1:11:37 > 1:11:40Pop, pop, pop.
1:11:44 > 1:11:49- Sampa! Sampa! Sampa! - Oh, hello there.
1:11:49 > 1:11:52Where are you going to take the TARDIS next, Sampa?
1:11:52 > 1:11:53Oh, I don't know, darling.
1:11:53 > 1:11:56Miss says you should go back in time and see Oliver Cromwell
1:11:56 > 1:11:58and tell him not to be so horrible.
1:11:58 > 1:12:00Yes, maybe I should.
1:12:00 > 1:12:03But I want the butterfly men to come back! They were pretty.
1:12:03 > 1:12:05We did them at school and I was a Zarbi.
1:12:05 > 1:12:08- Listen, Judi...- They could have a big fight with the Daleks
1:12:08 > 1:12:11and you could fly on their backs with a bow and arrow.
1:12:11 > 1:12:12Listen, darling.
1:12:12 > 1:12:15You mustn't expect too much from your old grandfather, you know.
1:12:15 > 1:12:18I get very tired these days and, er...
1:12:18 > 1:12:22Graham Potter says the TARDIS will run out of petrol soon.
1:12:22 > 1:12:26- I need to take things a bit easier. - But I told him he was stupid.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29The TARDIS will go on and on for ever because it's special and magic.
1:12:29 > 1:12:32- Like my Sampa.- Well, I...
1:12:32 > 1:12:35My Sampa's Doctor Who and he can do anything.
1:12:44 > 1:12:47I hope you don't think it presumptuous of me
1:12:47 > 1:12:49to ask for this meeting, Sydney...
1:12:49 > 1:12:51Presumptuous? Hell, no, Bill.
1:12:51 > 1:12:55- I was going to ask you to come in, as it happens.- Oh, yes?
1:12:57 > 1:13:01Yeah. Yeah. Things...
1:13:02 > 1:13:05Things can't go on the way they are.
1:13:08 > 1:13:11Exactly! Exactly, Sydney!
1:13:11 > 1:13:15I'm committed to Doctor Who, 100% committed, but...
1:13:17 > 1:13:19..well, I need more time off.
1:13:19 > 1:13:22Bloody schedule would kill a man half my age.
1:13:22 > 1:13:24- A-ha.- All those lines they give me.
1:13:24 > 1:13:27The kiddies don't want to hear all that waffle.
1:13:27 > 1:13:32But perhaps it would be best if the writers just...
1:13:32 > 1:13:37sort of sketched in the story and left me to make up the rest.
1:13:37 > 1:13:40No, no. That's probably a step too far.
1:13:40 > 1:13:44But you take my meaning. I'm the star of the show.
1:13:44 > 1:13:45I'm the Doctor.
1:13:45 > 1:13:49And, er, if we're to continue, you have to take account of that.
1:13:49 > 1:13:50Proper account.
1:13:50 > 1:13:54We've got great plans for Doctor Who, Bill, believe you me.
1:13:54 > 1:13:56- Great plans.- Well, I'm, er...
1:13:56 > 1:13:58- We're 100% committed too. - Very glad to hear it.
1:13:58 > 1:14:01But we're looking at ways of refreshing it.
1:14:01 > 1:14:03Um...regenerating it.
1:14:03 > 1:14:07- Well, yes. Quite right. Spice things up a bit.- Bill...
1:14:07 > 1:14:09I'm glad we're on the same wavelength anyway.
1:14:09 > 1:14:14Ah, hell, Bill, there's no easy way of saying this. Um...
1:14:16 > 1:14:18We want Doctor Who to go on.
1:14:18 > 1:14:20Yes.
1:14:21 > 1:14:23But not with you.
1:14:27 > 1:14:31Like you said, things have got to change.
1:14:37 > 1:14:38I see.
1:14:45 > 1:14:49Who...who have you got in mind?
1:14:49 > 1:14:52You're a hard act to follow, Bill.
1:14:52 > 1:14:55No need for soft soap, Sydney. You know me better.
1:14:55 > 1:14:57Who?
1:15:06 > 1:15:08You approve?
1:15:08 > 1:15:13Oh, yes, yes, quite. Patrick Troughton.
1:15:13 > 1:15:16Excellent choice.
1:15:20 > 1:15:21I'm so sorry, Bill.
1:15:26 > 1:15:33"Fortune, good night, smile once more, turn thy wheel."
1:15:33 > 1:15:34Huh?
1:15:36 > 1:15:40King Lear. I did it once. Carried a spear.
1:15:40 > 1:15:42Long time ago.
1:15:43 > 1:15:47Long, long time ago.
1:15:58 > 1:16:00FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
1:16:10 > 1:16:12Everything all right, sir?
1:16:14 > 1:16:15Are you OK?
1:16:17 > 1:16:20You need to move along now, sir.
1:16:20 > 1:16:23- Sir? - HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
1:16:23 > 1:16:25You're in the way.
1:16:27 > 1:16:30I'm sorry, sir, but... 'Ere, aren't you...?
1:16:30 > 1:16:33I'm, er, sorry, very sorry, officer.
1:16:33 > 1:16:36- You're him, aren't you? - Very sorry, officer.
1:16:36 > 1:16:37You're Doctor Who.
1:16:40 > 1:16:44Wait till I tell the kids. They bloomin' love you!
1:16:58 > 1:17:03Well, it's, er, been agreed by, um...
1:17:03 > 1:17:08by mutual consent that I should, er...pack it in.
1:17:10 > 1:17:12Er...
1:17:12 > 1:17:14- Oh, right.- Give it up.
1:17:18 > 1:17:19I see.
1:17:29 > 1:17:35Well...I think it's for the best, love. Truly, I do.
1:17:36 > 1:17:40You can't go on like this.
1:17:40 > 1:17:44And I've made my mark. Shown everyone I can do it.
1:17:44 > 1:17:49I'm sure it'll lead to lots more interesting stuff, hm?
1:17:49 > 1:17:50Yes.
1:18:01 > 1:18:04Well, I'll make us a nice cup of tea.
1:18:06 > 1:18:09I...I...
1:18:10 > 1:18:12I don't want to go.
1:18:16 > 1:18:20TEARFULLY: I...I don't want to go.
1:18:23 > 1:18:25Oh...
1:18:25 > 1:18:27Oh, Bill.
1:18:31 > 1:18:34HE SOBS
1:18:47 > 1:18:49HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
1:18:49 > 1:18:52- Well, then. Who's Who? - HE CHUCKLES
1:18:55 > 1:18:58I won't lie to you. I'm scared stiff.
1:18:58 > 1:19:01Oh, you'll be fine. In fact, you'll be wonderful.
1:19:01 > 1:19:03I...I told them, you know,
1:19:03 > 1:19:06there's only one man in England who can take over.
1:19:06 > 1:19:08Oh? Couldn't they get him?
1:19:08 > 1:19:10LAUGHTER
1:19:31 > 1:19:34- Red light, and bell. - BELL RINGS
1:19:37 > 1:19:44OK, positions, everyone, please. And roll to record in 15...
1:20:30 > 1:20:33METALLIC THRUMMING
1:21:31 > 1:21:35'I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own.
1:21:35 > 1:21:38'With David, you'll be able to find those roots,
1:21:38 > 1:21:41'live normally, like any woman should do.
1:21:41 > 1:21:45'Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David
1:21:45 > 1:21:48'and not with a silly old buffer like me.
1:21:48 > 1:21:54'One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back.
1:21:54 > 1:22:00'Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
1:22:00 > 1:22:03'Just go forward in all your beliefs
1:22:03 > 1:22:06'and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.'
1:23:03 > 1:23:07This is your debut in pantomime. Do you see your future in pantomime?
1:23:07 > 1:23:08No, no.
1:23:08 > 1:23:12What qualities are there in pantomime that you feel you haven't got?
1:23:12 > 1:23:16It's a different technique which lends itself only
1:23:16 > 1:23:18to what I call a variety type of actor,
1:23:18 > 1:23:22the actor who is used to playing on his own in a front cloth,
1:23:22 > 1:23:24which is a variety actor.
1:23:24 > 1:23:28But I'm not. I'm legitimate. I'm a legitimate character actor.
1:23:30 > 1:23:33It was kind of a strange thing to do after the show,
1:23:33 > 1:23:35but there were so many kids, I suppose,
1:23:35 > 1:23:38who wanted to see the character again
1:23:38 > 1:23:40and I remember just being in the audience
1:23:40 > 1:23:44when all the kids go up to the front and he threw sweets out to the children,
1:23:44 > 1:23:47and I remember catching his eye and catching a sweet.
1:23:47 > 1:23:51My memories of him are really muddled up with Doctor Who.
1:23:51 > 1:23:56The character that we saw on the television screen
1:23:56 > 1:23:57was my grandfather.
1:23:57 > 1:24:00I think he came to love playing the Doctor.
1:24:00 > 1:24:03- But it so much captured the public imagination.- I know it did, yes.
1:24:03 > 1:24:07- Do you think you'll ever shake it off?- Oh, yeah.- How?- Of course.
1:24:07 > 1:24:10By making a success in something else.
1:24:10 > 1:24:13- SHE CHUCKLES - Why do you think children like you?
1:24:13 > 1:24:16Because you're rather a grumpy sort of person.
1:24:16 > 1:24:18They find me a cross between the Wizard of Oz
1:24:18 > 1:24:20and Father Christmas, you know.
1:24:20 > 1:24:22He was a grumpy old man.
1:24:22 > 1:24:27We were rehearsing and something happened and he went totally
1:24:27 > 1:24:30and they cancelled the rest of the rehearsal.
1:24:30 > 1:24:32He came in the next day
1:24:32 > 1:24:36and he came in with three little posies of flowers for the ladies.
1:24:36 > 1:24:38He obviously thought, "What can I take the chaps?"
1:24:38 > 1:24:41And he came in with a tin of biscuits.
1:24:41 > 1:24:43I found that so moving, somehow.
1:24:43 > 1:24:46It was his grumpy way of saying, "I'm sorry."
1:24:46 > 1:24:50The difficulty is asking an actor to play eccentric
1:24:50 > 1:24:52because then they start to be ACTING.
1:24:52 > 1:24:55Bill Hartnell wasn't acting it.
1:24:55 > 1:24:59He was just implicitly, in his own way, eccentric.
1:24:59 > 1:25:03The whole thing about Bill was that he was so unpredictable.
1:25:03 > 1:25:06You'd didn't know what he was going to do.
1:25:06 > 1:25:08There was this mystery about him.
1:25:08 > 1:25:12I knew he wasn't well when he was working with me.
1:25:12 > 1:25:15You could really see the stress and strain on him.
1:25:15 > 1:25:17I discovered later that he had
1:25:17 > 1:25:21really been suffering from something which caused him to have memory loss.
1:25:21 > 1:25:23I was very sad that he left the show.
1:25:23 > 1:25:26That must have been an absolute body blow to him.
1:25:30 > 1:25:35Oh, so you're my replacements. A dandy and a clown.
1:25:35 > 1:25:39When they decided to make the 10th anniversary programme,
1:25:39 > 1:25:42my grandfather had deteriorated quite a lot.
1:25:42 > 1:25:45He was not fully aware of how poorly he was.
1:25:45 > 1:25:50Barry Letts, my producer, and I contacted Patrick Troughton
1:25:50 > 1:25:52and he rang up William Hartnell
1:25:52 > 1:25:54and William Hartnell was very keen too.
1:25:54 > 1:25:57He said, "Yes, yes, be very happy to do it, love to do it."
1:25:57 > 1:26:00I believe my grandmother had to intervene and say,
1:26:00 > 1:26:03"Look, he's not really well enough to cope with learning lines
1:26:03 > 1:26:06"and all that," but they devised a way to make it possible.
1:26:06 > 1:26:09There were prompt boards in front of him for every line
1:26:09 > 1:26:12and somebody would hold it up and Billy would say the line
1:26:12 > 1:26:14and then there would be another line and another line.
1:26:14 > 1:26:17Yes, well, the party's over now.
1:26:17 > 1:26:20You young men and I go back to our time zones.
1:26:20 > 1:26:24Though, considering the way things have been going, well,
1:26:24 > 1:26:27I shudder to think what you will do without me.
1:26:32 > 1:26:36I think Doctor Who gave him the opportunity to spread his wings,
1:26:36 > 1:26:42to be childlike and to expand and to play around with the eccentricity
1:26:42 > 1:26:44and the wonder of it all.
1:26:44 > 1:26:46It's clear that he actually loved it.
1:26:46 > 1:26:50The funny thing to think of is that up until the point
1:26:50 > 1:26:53Patrick Troughton took over, there was only a Doctor.
1:26:53 > 1:26:55He is the original.
1:26:55 > 1:27:00The legacy of the way that he established the Doctor is still with us.
1:27:00 > 1:27:04Absolutely nobody else has been anything like him.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06A magic, a mystery.
1:27:06 > 1:27:10You were never quite sure what was going to happen next with him.
1:27:10 > 1:27:14Those of us who watched him over those first three years,
1:27:14 > 1:27:19even though he was grumpy and rather distant, he was still our Doctor.
1:27:21 > 1:27:25The fact that Doctor Who is still being made today, as we speak...
1:27:25 > 1:27:27extraordinary, really.
1:27:27 > 1:27:29I think it's a testament to William's Doctor
1:27:29 > 1:27:31and I'm very proud to be part of it.
1:27:31 > 1:27:34I think he would be so tickled pink that the character
1:27:34 > 1:27:39he helped create is still thrilling audiences today.
1:27:39 > 1:27:42He'd have been so, so thrilled by that.
