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

Oh... | 0:33:01 | 0:33:02 | |

Everybody out. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:12 | |
Am I on yet? | 0:33:12 | 0:33:13 | |
Anyone? | 0:33:13 | 0:33:15 | |
I've done me teeth. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:17 | |
Wish I knew what bloody dimension I was in. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |
Hello? | 0:33:21 | 0:33:23 | |
Hello? | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
Anyone? | 0:33:26 | 0:33:27 | |
TV: No, my child, we both know we cannot let our secret loose | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
into the world of the 20th century. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
But you can't keep them prisoner here! | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
He can't keep us prisoners anywhere. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
I cannot let you go, schoolteacher. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
Whether you believe what you have been told is of no importance. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
You and your companion would be footprints in a time | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
we were not supposed to walk. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
If I have to use force to get out of here, I will, you know. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
Maybe we've stumbled on something beyond our understanding. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
Oh, why did you come here, why?! | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
Grandfather, no! | 0:34:03 | 0:34:04 | |
No, you don't! | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
Oh, stop it! Let him go! | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
Let me go! | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |

Let's go to lunch. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
Not hungry? | 0:34:32 | 0:34:33 | |
Don't seem to have much of an appetite. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
Not surprised. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:37 | |
I should fire the pair of you. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
Right. Take out the reference to the future time they've come from. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
The 49th Century? Too specific. It's Doctor Who, remember. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
And the old guy's too nasty. He should be cuter. Funnier. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:55 | |
And the kid needs to be cheeky too. Like a regular teenager. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:59 | |
Did you like any of it? | 0:34:59 | 0:35:00 | |
-Not much. Hate the opening titles. -You're joking? | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
-Too weird. -It's sensational! Just because it's new. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
Hey! Hey! I like new. I do new, remember?! | 0:35:06 | 0:35:10 | |
It's too scary for the kids. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
I-I thought we were trying to scare them. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
Scare them, not traumatise them! Change it. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:20 | |
Over my dead body. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
It can be arranged. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:23 | |
It'll cost. And they'll crucify me for it. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
What? | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
Do the whole thing again. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:35 | |
I'm not right for the part. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:42 | |
-Bill... -Just not right for it. It... It isn't me. -Bill! | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
-Isn't me at all! -Listen to me. Sydney thought it was good. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:49 | |
He's over the moon! I let you down. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
You let me down? | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
You were right. You were so right. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
Look, we've made the Doctor too abrasive. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
We need much more of you in him. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
Much more charm and warmth and twinkle. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
You knew it, I couldn't see it. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
You sure you've got the right man? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
Of course I am. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:14 | |
I'm-I'm frightened, you see, | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
I've...never really done anything like this before. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:26 | |
The...pressure, the schedule and all those ruddy words... | 0:36:26 | 0:36:31 | |
I'm here for you, Bill. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
Promise? | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
Every step. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:42 | |
Right... | 0:36:51 | 0:36:52 | |
-I've got to tell the others now. -Time and tide wait for no man, eh? | 0:36:55 | 0:36:59 | |
Time and space, Bill. And they wait for no woman either. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
I'm not hindering you. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:14 | |
If you both want to make fools of yourselves, | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
I suggest you do what you said you'd do. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
Go and find a policeman. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:20 | |
Clear three, clear three. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:24 | |
Move to shot two. Tighter on two. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
I shall be here when you get back. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
I want to see your faces when you try and explain... | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
Tighter on one. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
..Chesserman... Chesterton. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
He got the name wrong. He got the name wrong. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
Can we go back? Can we go back? | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
We've already stopped recording three times. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
Only one more edit allowed, son. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
Thank you, Mervyn. Four edits in the whole show! | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
It's so bloody primitive! | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
Young man speak truth! BBC equipment from Stone Age! | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
We have no choice, do we? Onwards, Waris. Onwards! | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
OK, stand by one | 0:37:53 | 0:37:55 | |
Oh, no, Grandfather! No! | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
Let me through. Get back to the ship, child! | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
It could be anywhere.... Dear, dear, dear, dear. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
It's of no help to us at all. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
I suggest before we go outside and explore, let us clean ourselves up. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
-Oh, yes. -What does the radiation read, Susan? | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
It's reading normal, Grandfather. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |

OK. Good. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:33 | |
I'll tell them we can make the transmission date. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
How are the other scripts coming along? | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
Your Canadian pal is doing us one about Marco Polo. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
Terrific! That's more like my brief. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
Get the kids hooked on real history. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
We're also trying one of Tony Hancock's writers - Terry Nation. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
You got a script? | 0:38:51 | 0:38:52 | |
-Yes. It's good. -What's it about? | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
-Robots. -No, no, no. They're not robots. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
Rule one - no robots! | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
-Rule two... -No bug-eyed monsters! I know. But I promise you they're not. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:03 | |
It's a really interesting story. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:04 | |
Set on a distant planet after a nuclear war... | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
OK, OK. Whatever. Send it straight up to me. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
Then we'll see. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:11 | |
This time in a few of weeks, episode one will have aired. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
Hm. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:24 | |
Brave heart, darling. I think we'll be a smash. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
Fingers crossed. We could do with a bit of luck. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |

You will recover shortly unless you force us to use our weapons again. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:28 | |
-Well, everyone, meet the Daleks. -Gosh, they're creepy, aren't they? | 0:46:28 | 0:46:34 | |
They're actually really creepy. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:38 | |
DALEK CONTINUES SPEAKING ON MONITOR | 0:46:38 | 0:46:40 | |
Michael! Dennis! | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
Your tea's getting cold. | 0:46:49 | 0:46:52 | |
And that thing you wanted to watch, it's on! | 0:46:52 | 0:46:55 | |
DALEK VOICES EMANATING FROM TV | 0:46:55 | 0:47:01 | |
-THE DOCTOR: -Why? Because we weren't aware of it until it was too late, that's why. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:05 | |
DALEK: The truth is that your supply of drugs has failed | 0:47:05 | 0:47:08 | |
and you came into the city to see if you could find more. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
Thals? What are you talking about? | 0:47:11 | 0:47:14 | |
We're not Thals, or whatever you may call them. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:17 | |
Can't you see we're very ill? | 0:47:17 | 0:47:18 | |
-You and your companions need a drug to stay alive. -We have no gloves. | 0:47:18 | 0:47:24 | |
Drugs. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:25 | |
-You said "gloves". -Eh? | 0:47:25 | 0:47:27 | |
Yes, yes. I...I did. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:32 | |
Because the Daleks are nasty and you need special gloves to touch them. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:37 | |
Y-y-yes. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
Yes. You know things like that because you're Doctor Who. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:45 | |
That's...that's right. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
-Exterminate! -Exterminate! -Exterminate! -Exterminate! | 0:47:58 | 0:48:02 | |
-Exterminate! -Exterminate! -Exterminate! -Exterminate! | 0:48:02 | 0:48:06 | |
You will be my prisoner! | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
You won't believe what I saw on the bus this morning. It's...thrilling. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:12 | |
Sydney wants you, Verity. | 0:48:12 | 0:48:14 | |
Ten million viewers for your bug-eyed monsters. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:46 | |
Ten million. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:51 | |
So... | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
What do I know about anything? | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
Well done, kid. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:02 | |
A bus? What were you doing on a bus? | 0:49:19 | 0:49:23 | |
Getting in touch with our audience. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:25 | |
Our great, big, fat, enormous bloody audience. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:29 | |
THEY SCREAM AND LAUGH | 0:49:29 | 0:49:31 | |
Whoo-hoo! | 0:49:31 | 0:49:33 | |
HE CHEERS | 0:49:33 | 0:49:35 | |
# Walking back to happiness | 0:49:42 | 0:49:44 | |
# Woopah, oh, yeah-yeah | 0:49:44 | 0:49:47 | |
# Said goodbye to loneliness... # | 0:49:47 | 0:49:49 | |
Quickly, child! We're running out of time! Check the fornicator! | 0:49:49 | 0:49:52 | |
Fault locator. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:49:54 | 0:49:55 | |
OK, I think we'd better hold it there, please. | 0:49:55 | 0:49:58 | |
First positions again. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
Verity. Verity! Look at this. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:09 | |
Just look at this. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:11 | |
General De Gaulle. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:12 | |
"DeGaullek"! | 0:50:12 | 0:50:14 | |
-That's wonderful! -"No! No! No!" | 0:50:14 | 0:50:17 | |
We've really got something here. They love us. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:22 | |
-Lovely stuff, this, you know. -Shame it's not in colour. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:31 | |
Come on, how much have I won? | 0:50:31 | 0:50:34 | |
Ah... | 0:50:34 | 0:50:35 | |
35 elephants, 4,000 white stallions, 25 tigers... | 0:50:35 | 0:50:40 | |
And ten bob, you old devil. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:42 | |
Right, make-up are nearly done with Kublai Khan's digits, | 0:50:42 | 0:50:45 | |
-so we'd best press on. -What do you think? | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
WHISTLES OF APPRECIATION | 0:50:47 | 0:50:49 | |
-Wow. -Very swish. | 0:50:49 | 0:50:51 | |
-Do you like it? -Gorgeous, Carol. -I wonder if they'll let me buy it. | 0:50:51 | 0:50:54 | |
-It'll turn a few heads on the Kings Road. -Oh, God. | 0:50:54 | 0:50:57 | |
-Something the matter, Bill? -You should be more careful, sweetheart, | 0:50:59 | 0:51:02 | |
throwing your money around like that. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:04 | |
It's an insecure profession, you know. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:07 | |
-We should all bear that in mind. -Fancy anything at Newmarket, Bill? | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
You know what I mean. I'm just saying. | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
Splashing out on new togs all the time, | 0:51:12 | 0:51:14 | |
you don't know you're bloody born! | 0:51:14 | 0:51:16 | |
I'm not a child. I'll spend it how I like. | 0:51:16 | 0:51:19 | |
You're right, of course, Bill. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:26 | |
None of us knows how long this is going to last. | 0:51:26 | 0:51:29 | |
No-one's irreplaceable. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:31 | |
-Who told you that? -Everyone mentions it. So, you didn't go to RADA? | 0:51:50 | 0:51:54 | |
-Roedean, darling. -Eh? -The girls' school. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:59 | |
Must have been a typo on my CV. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:01 | |
I've not got the heart to tell Sydney. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:02 | |
Bill, thank you so much for the flowers. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
Sorry to see you go, son. | 0:52:06 | 0:52:08 | |
-So, what's next for you? -I've been offered A Passage To India. -One-way? | 0:52:08 | 0:52:13 | |
-Bill, I hope you never change. -Bill, Bill, come on. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
-Quiet, please, everybody. -Oh, yes. -Bit of hush, ladies and gents. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:20 | |
-Sure you won't stay? Do some more with us? -Pastures new. | 0:52:22 | 0:52:27 | |
It's been a bloody blast, Verity. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:29 | |
Couldn't have done it without you, darling. Shoulder-to-shoulder. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
I saw you interfering with some dials only last night, | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
so I've decided to show you all the things that you mustn't touch | 0:52:46 | 0:52:49 | |
under any circumstances. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:50 | |
Exterminate, exterminate! | 0:52:54 | 0:52:59 | |
What the bloody hell?! | 0:52:59 | 0:53:01 | |
Hello, my darling. | 0:53:04 | 0:53:06 | |
What do you think? | 0:53:08 | 0:53:10 | |
"Thrills galore. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:14 | |
"Full-size, real-life Dalek playsuit from the BBC TV series Doctor Who." | 0:53:14 | 0:53:21 | |
Strike a light! "Only 66 shillings and sixpence." | 0:53:21 | 0:53:25 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:53:25 | 0:53:27 | |
-And we have these. -Goodness! | 0:53:27 | 0:53:30 | |
Man and boy, I've been at this lark. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
But I've never known anything like it. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:35 | |
Incredible. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:37 | |
No-one's irreplaceable, eh? | 0:53:41 | 0:53:43 | |
So much for softly-softly. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:47 | |
At this rate, you'll be running the place. | 0:53:47 | 0:53:49 | |
-"Dear Uncle Who." -Uncle Who! | 0:53:55 | 0:53:58 | |
"I've got my... | 0:54:00 | 0:54:02 | |
"physics O-level coming up and I need your help." | 0:54:02 | 0:54:06 | |
I don't know why they think I can help them. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:10 | |
It's all gobbledygook to me. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:11 | |
Please. | 0:54:13 | 0:54:15 | |
Doctor Who, can I please have your autograph? | 0:54:16 | 0:54:19 | |
Now, then, what's this? | 0:54:21 | 0:54:23 | |
-An autograph? -Teacher said it would be all right. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:27 | |
-Well, that must make you a very special little boy, um... -Alan. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:31 | |
Thank you. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:42 | |
Please, Doctor? | 0:54:42 | 0:54:46 | |
-Yes, what is it, um... -(Alan.) -What is it, Alan? | 0:54:47 | 0:54:52 | |
-Please, when are them Daleks coming back? -Daleks? | 0:54:52 | 0:54:56 | |
-They're taking over the ruddy world. -It's what they do best, isn't it? | 0:54:56 | 0:55:00 | |
Oh! | 0:55:01 | 0:55:03 | |
-CHILDREN: -Wow! -Oh, wow! | 0:55:03 | 0:55:06 | |
Goodness me! | 0:55:08 | 0:55:09 | |
Come along, come along. Keep up! We must all get back to the TARDIS. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:16 | |
What's this? What's this? | 0:55:19 | 0:55:20 | |
-Look out! -What?! -Look out! Run, run! | 0:55:20 | 0:55:22 | |
Exterminate! Exterminate! | 0:55:22 | 0:55:26 | |
CHILDREN SCREAM | 0:55:26 | 0:55:28 | |
Take three. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:34 | |
Cut! | 0:55:55 | 0:55:56 | |
Cut! Right, one more, please. Quick as you can. | 0:55:56 | 0:56:00 | |
Len, you were nearly off the kerb. | 0:56:00 | 0:56:03 | |
Why is it we always seem to have to go again because of YOU? | 0:56:03 | 0:56:06 | |
I need a wee, don't I? You try being in here. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:08 | |
-Reset, let's go again! -It's not my fault! | 0:56:08 | 0:56:12 | |
Bill. Bill, I thought I might try something | 0:56:12 | 0:56:15 | |
-when I'm carrying you down the ramp. -What? | 0:56:15 | 0:56:17 | |
I thought maybe I just throw a look towards you, | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
showing the Roboman's inner turmoil. | 0:56:20 | 0:56:23 | |
You know, I was a man once | 0:56:23 | 0:56:25 | |
sort of thing, before the Daleks made me like this. | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
What do you think? | 0:56:28 | 0:56:29 | |
-Don't be so bloody ridiculous. -It was just a suggestion. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:32 | |
Yes, well, stow it. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:34 | |
-What's up with you? -Mind your own business. | 0:56:34 | 0:56:36 | |
Oi, Len! Over here! | 0:56:38 | 0:56:39 | |
-It's not too late, you know. -No, I've made up my mind. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:46 | |
-They can rewrite this stuff in a shot. -It's time to move on, Bill. | 0:56:46 | 0:56:50 | |
-There's lots of other things I want to do. -Well, of course. | 0:56:50 | 0:56:53 | |
And there's more to life than just screaming at nasty monsters. | 0:56:53 | 0:56:57 | |
That's no way to talk about me. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
THE DOCTOR: One day, I shall come back. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:12 | |
Yes, I shall come back. | 0:57:13 | 0:57:15 | |
Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:24 | |
Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me | 0:57:25 | 0:57:30 | |
that I am not mistaken in mine. | 0:57:30 | 0:57:33 | |
Goodbye, Susan. | 0:57:36 | 0:57:38 | |
Goodbye, my dear. | 0:57:40 | 0:57:42 | |
That's lovely, Bill. Really lovely. | 0:57:55 | 0:57:58 | |
Doesn't like farewells, does he? | 0:58:03 | 0:58:05 | |
Just stepping off for a minute, Waris. | 0:58:12 | 0:58:15 | |
-Waris? -He's been doing that a lot lately. | 0:58:28 | 0:58:30 | |
-That's it. -Look over towards Bill, Maureen. | 0:58:42 | 0:58:45 | |
-That's it. Smile over here, please. -Big smile! | 0:58:45 | 0:58:48 | |
-ALL: -Cheers! | 0:58:48 | 0:58:50 | |
Cheers! | 0:58:50 | 0:58:52 | |
One more. One more! Just look at Bill. | 0:58:52 | 0:58:56 | |
DOG BARKS | 0:58:58 | 0:59:00 | |
You look all-in. | 0:59:04 | 0:59:06 | |
Mm. | 0:59:06 | 0:59:08 | |
Come on, love. Why don't you get your head down? | 0:59:08 | 0:59:10 | |
We can go through this in the morning. | 0:59:10 | 0:59:13 | |
No, no. Got to get 'em in. | 0:59:13 | 0:59:14 | |
Got to. | 0:59:14 | 0:59:16 | |
Maybe it's time you thought about moving on, love. | 0:59:21 | 0:59:24 | |
Moving on? | 0:59:24 | 0:59:26 | |
You're shattered all the time. | 0:59:26 | 0:59:28 | |
I can't! Even if I wanted to. They're all relying on me. | 0:59:28 | 0:59:32 | |
Hundreds of people, aren't they? And all those kiddies out there. | 0:59:32 | 0:59:36 | |
You can't have Doctor Who without Doctor Who, can you? Come on. | 0:59:36 | 0:59:44 | |
Vortis? What galaxy is that in? | 0:59:48 | 0:59:52 | |
(It's the Isop Galaxy.) | 0:59:55 | 0:59:58 | |
The Isop Galaxy, Chesterton. | 0:59:58 | 1:00:01 | |
-It's many... -Many. -..many...light years... -Away. -..away. | 1:00:01 | 1:00:06 | |
OWL HOOTS | 1:00:10 | 1:00:12 | |
COUGHING | 1:00:13 | 1:00:17 | |
-DALEK: -'He is becoming delirious. I do not understand his words.' | 1:00:25 | 1:00:30 | |
'He is becoming delirious. I do not understand his words.' | 1:00:30 | 1:00:35 | |
Bill mustn't know I've spoken to you. He'd play merry hell. | 1:00:38 | 1:00:43 | |
What's the matter? | 1:00:43 | 1:00:45 | |
Our GP rang. | 1:00:47 | 1:00:49 | |
Bill's not very well. | 1:00:50 | 1:00:52 | |
Oh, dear. Nothing serious? | 1:00:52 | 1:00:56 | |
Not in the short-term. It's, um... | 1:00:56 | 1:01:00 | |
er...arteriosclerosis. | 1:01:00 | 1:01:04 | |
It's a hardening of the arteries. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:11 | |
I see. | 1:01:11 | 1:01:13 | |
He smokes too much. Drinks too much. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:24 | |
And these days, the only exercise he gets is walking the dog. | 1:01:24 | 1:01:28 | |
That, plus doing Doctor Who virtually all year... | 1:01:28 | 1:01:32 | |
Do you think he should stop? | 1:01:33 | 1:01:35 | |
No. No, he couldn't bear that. He loves the programme. | 1:01:35 | 1:01:40 | |
He's so proud of it. And all of you. You should hear him. | 1:01:40 | 1:01:44 | |
But if there's anything you can do | 1:01:44 | 1:01:46 | |
to lift the burden from his shoulders, | 1:01:46 | 1:01:48 | |
you know, let him slow down a little. | 1:01:48 | 1:01:51 | |
Well...I'll have a quiet word with my successor. | 1:01:54 | 1:01:59 | |
Oh. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:03 | |
Oh. I see. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:07 | |
Vortis? What galaxy is that in? | 1:02:15 | 1:02:18 | |
The Isop Galaxy, Chesterfield. Chesterton! | 1:02:18 | 1:02:22 | |
Many, many light earths... light years... | 1:02:22 | 1:02:27 | |
from us. | 1:02:27 | 1:02:28 | |
From...from Earth. And yet the...Vortis... | 1:02:30 | 1:02:36 | |
Vortis planet hasn't a moon. | 1:02:36 | 1:02:38 | |
Hm? Eh? | 1:02:41 | 1:02:44 | |
-DIRECTOR: -Right, hold it there, please! | 1:02:46 | 1:02:48 | |
All this stuff, I can do it with a look. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:52 | |
Bill, I really think we should stick with what's on the page. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:55 | |
Verity. I can do all this with a look, you know. | 1:02:55 | 1:02:58 | |
I don't need all these lines. | 1:02:58 | 1:03:00 | |
It's like ruddy King Lear! | 1:03:00 | 1:03:03 | |
I remember Lindsay Anderson saying the same thing about me | 1:03:03 | 1:03:05 | |
on Sporting Life. | 1:03:05 | 1:03:07 | |
He just ripped a couple of pages out of the script. | 1:03:07 | 1:03:10 | |
"Bill can do all this with a gesture," you see. | 1:03:10 | 1:03:12 | |
"A raised eyebrow." Do you see what I mean? | 1:03:12 | 1:03:15 | |
Of course. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:20 | |
Bless you. | 1:03:22 | 1:03:24 | |
Actually, I'm glad to have the chance to talk to you, Bill... | 1:03:24 | 1:03:27 | |
-You're my rock, Verity. -Oh... -You know that. My rock. | 1:03:27 | 1:03:29 | |
I don't know about that... | 1:03:29 | 1:03:31 | |
Since that day you first started telling me about Doctor Who, | 1:03:31 | 1:03:34 | |
I've been spellbound. | 1:03:34 | 1:03:36 | |
Spellbound! But look at us now, eh? Just look at us! | 1:03:36 | 1:03:40 | |
Our arses are in butter! | 1:03:40 | 1:03:42 | |
What did you want to tell me? | 1:03:44 | 1:03:47 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:03:48 | 1:03:49 | |
..Which, of course, was her way of saying take a hike! | 1:03:49 | 1:03:53 | |
So, I am justifiably proud of myself. | 1:03:53 | 1:03:56 | |
I can spot talent light years away. | 1:03:56 | 1:03:59 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, Verity. | 1:03:59 | 1:04:02 | |
Best goddamn appointment I've ever made. | 1:04:02 | 1:04:05 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 1:04:05 | 1:04:07 | |
Verity! | 1:04:07 | 1:04:09 | |
ALL: # For she's a jolly good fellow | 1:04:09 | 1:04:12 | |
# 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 | |
# And so say all of us! | 1:04:16 | 1:04:19 | |

# And so say all of us! | 1:04:21 | 1:04:23 | |
# For she's a jolly good fellow | 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 | |
# And so say all of us. # | 1:04:31 | 1:04:34 | |
Not joining us? | 1:04:41 | 1:04:43 | |
Perhaps in a minute. | 1:04:43 | 1:04:46 | |
Bill, I wanted to say thank you. | 1:05:02 | 1:05:06 | |
For everything you've done. | 1:05:06 | 1:05:09 | |
-I'm in demand and it's all down to you. -Oh, nonsense. | 1:05:09 | 1:05:12 | |
In no small measure, Bill. Doctor Who has made me. | 1:05:12 | 1:05:15 | |
But why does it have to change? | 1:05:15 | 1:05:17 | |
Why do things always have to change? Why can't we just go on as we are? | 1:05:17 | 1:05:22 | |
Life. | 1:05:26 | 1:05:28 | |
What about you? Not ready for a rest? | 1:05:32 | 1:05:35 | |
Me? No. No. Not a bit. | 1:05:35 | 1:05:38 | |
This old body of mine is good for a few years yet! | 1:05:38 | 1:05:41 | |
-SHE SIGHS -I'm going to miss all this. | 1:05:43 | 1:05:46 | |
You've got, erm... | 1:05:52 | 1:05:54 | |
Oh. | 1:05:54 | 1:05:56 | |
Let me. | 1:05:56 | 1:05:57 | |
What am I going to do without you? | 1:06:07 | 1:06:09 | |
Till we meet again. | 1:06:26 | 1:06:28 | |
-That's it. -Everybody ready? | 1:06:54 | 1:06:56 | |
-Smile! -Mr Purves... -Jackie... -Look at each other. | 1:06:56 | 1:07:00 | |
-That's it. Lovely! -Peter, give us a smile. Lovely. | 1:07:00 | 1:07:03 | |
All right, when you're ready, Bill. | 1:07:03 | 1:07:06 | |
Mr Hartnell to you, sonny. | 1:07:06 | 1:07:09 | |
Sorry. | 1:07:09 | 1:07:10 | |
You might call me by my first name if we get to know each other better. | 1:07:10 | 1:07:13 | |
If you... if you last on my show, that is. | 1:07:13 | 1:07:17 | |
Can we go from the top of the scene, Mr Hartnell? | 1:07:18 | 1:07:21 | |
-You make the TV screen come on. -The scanner. | 1:07:21 | 1:07:24 | |
Scanner, right. | 1:07:24 | 1:07:25 | |
And then you flick the switch and the doors open. | 1:07:25 | 1:07:28 | |
-No, no. Can't do that. -Beg pardon? | 1:07:28 | 1:07:31 | |
I'd have to move round to the other side. | 1:07:31 | 1:07:34 | |
That's where the door switch is. | 1:07:34 | 1:07:36 | |
-Does it matter? -Of course it matters! | 1:07:36 | 1:07:39 | |
All right. We'll work around it. You move where you like... | 1:07:39 | 1:07:43 | |
-Mr Hartnell. -Thank you. I will. | 1:07:43 | 1:07:45 | |
OK. Top of the scene, then. | 1:07:45 | 1:07:47 | |
The glass cylinder should be going up and down. | 1:07:50 | 1:07:54 | |
-The ship is in flight. -Right. Yes. Sorry. | 1:07:54 | 1:07:58 | |
-Well? -Sorry. Be right with you. | 1:08:03 | 1:08:06 | |
Anybody know how to make it go? | 1:08:15 | 1:08:17 | |
For Christ's sake! Doesn't anyone know how to do anything? | 1:08:17 | 1:08:20 | |
Out you go, out, out. I'll sort it myself. | 1:08:20 | 1:08:24 | |
HE BREATHES HEAVILY | 1:08:32 | 1:08:34 | |
-Red light, and bell. -BELL RINGS | 1:08:38 | 1:08:41 | |
Roll to record. | 1:08:41 | 1:08:44 | |
In 15, 14... | 1:08:44 | 1:08:47 | |
Quiet, please, everyone. | 1:08:47 | 1:08:50 | |
OK, everyone ready? Ready now. | 1:08:50 | 1:08:53 | |
-There's a... -Ten... | 1:08:54 | 1:08:57 | |
..a lot of people dancing about in my eyeline. | 1:08:57 | 1:08:59 | |
-It's very off-putting. Do you mind? Thank you. -..five, four... | 1:08:59 | 1:09:04 | |
Now...they've all gone. | 1:09:08 | 1:09:12 | |
All gone. | 1:09:14 | 1:09:15 | |
None of them ever understood. Not even young Susan, or... | 1:09:18 | 1:09:23 | |
..or V-V-Vicki. | 1:09:32 | 1:09:34 | |
And then there's Barbara and Chatterton... | 1:09:36 | 1:09:42 | |
Ch-Ch-Chesterton! | 1:09:42 | 1:09:43 | |
(Oh, God.) | 1:09:43 | 1:09:45 | |
Perhaps I should go back to my own time. | 1:09:48 | 1:09:51 | |
To my own planet. | 1:09:53 | 1:09:54 | |
But I... | 1:09:57 | 1:09:58 | |
I can't... | 1:10:00 | 1:10:01 | |
I can't... | 1:10:03 | 1:10:05 | |
Is everything OK? | 1:10:08 | 1:10:10 | |
I, er...I can't... | 1:10:10 | 1:10:12 | |
Are you all right? | 1:10:13 | 1:10:15 | |
I... | 1:10:15 | 1:10:17 | |
I can't... | 1:10:18 | 1:10:20 | |
-Mr Hartnell? -I, er... | 1:10:26 | 1:10:28 | |
Mr Hartnell? | 1:10:30 | 1:10:33 | |
Anneke! Anneke, turn to me, love. Turn to me. Thanks, love. | 1:10:48 | 1:10:53 | |
I could get used to this. How about you? | 1:10:53 | 1:10:55 | |
-As you can see... -Yeah, yeah, I hear you. | 1:10:55 | 1:10:59 | |
It can't go on. He's become so difficult to work with. | 1:10:59 | 1:11:03 | |
-And his lines... -I hear you! | 1:11:03 | 1:11:05 | |
The poor man's worn out. | 1:11:07 | 1:11:09 | |
Shame. Goddamn shame. | 1:11:09 | 1:11:12 | |
-So, that's that, I suppose. -What do you mean? | 1:11:14 | 1:11:18 | |
Well, we can't have Doctor Who without Doctor Who, can we? | 1:11:19 | 1:11:23 | |
Pop, pop, pop. | 1:11:37 | 1:11:40 | |
-Sampa! Sampa! Sampa! -Oh, hello there. | 1:11:44 | 1:11:49 | |
Where are you going to take the TARDIS next, Sampa? | 1:11:49 | 1:11:52 | |
Oh, I don't know, darling. | 1:11:52 | 1:11:53 | |
Miss says you should go back in time and see Oliver Cromwell | 1:11:53 | 1:11:56 | |
and tell him not to be so horrible. | 1:11:56 | 1:11:58 | |
Yes, maybe I should. | 1:11:58 | 1:12:00 | |
But I want the butterfly men to come back! They were pretty. | 1:12:00 | 1:12:03 | |
We did them at school and I was a Zarbi. | 1:12:03 | 1:12:05 | |
-Listen, Judi... -They could have a big fight with the Daleks | 1:12:05 | 1:12:08 | |
and you could fly on their backs with a bow and arrow. | 1:12:08 | 1:12:11 | |
Listen, darling. | 1:12:11 | 1:12:12 | |
You mustn't expect too much from your old grandfather, you know. | 1:12:12 | 1:12:15 | |
I get very tired these days and, er... | 1:12:15 | 1:12:18 | |
Graham Potter says the TARDIS will run out of petrol soon. | 1:12:18 | 1:12:22 | |
-I need to take things a bit easier. -But I told him he was stupid. | 1:12:22 | 1:12:26 | |
The TARDIS will go on and on for ever because it's special and magic. | 1:12:26 | 1:12:29 | |
-Like my Sampa. -Well, I... | 1:12:29 | 1:12:32 | |
My Sampa's Doctor Who and he can do anything. | 1:12:32 | 1:12:35 | |
I hope you don't think it presumptuous of me | 1:12:44 | 1:12:47 | |
to ask for this meeting, Sydney... | 1:12:47 | 1:12:49 | |
Presumptuous? Hell, no, Bill. | 1:12:49 | 1:12:51 | |
-I was going to ask you to come in, as it happens. -Oh, yes? | 1:12:51 | 1:12:55 | |
Yeah. Yeah. Things... | 1:12:57 | 1:13:01 | |
Things can't go on the way they are. | 1:13:02 | 1:13:05 | |
Exactly! Exactly, Sydney! | 1:13:08 | 1:13:11 | |
I'm committed to Doctor Who, 100% committed, but... | 1:13:11 | 1:13:15 | |
..well, I need more time off. | 1:13:17 | 1:13:19 | |
Bloody schedule would kill a man half my age. | 1:13:19 | 1:13:22 | |
-A-ha. -All those lines they give me. | 1:13:22 | 1:13:24 | |
The kiddies don't want to hear all that waffle. | 1:13:24 | 1:13:27 | |
But perhaps it would be best if the writers just... | 1:13:27 | 1:13:32 | |
sort of sketched in the story and left me to make up the rest. | 1:13:32 | 1:13:37 | |
No, no. That's probably a step too far. | 1:13:37 | 1:13:40 | |
But you take my meaning. I'm the star of the show. | 1:13:40 | 1:13:44 | |
I'm the Doctor. | 1:13:44 | 1:13:45 | |
And, er, if we're to continue, you have to take account of that. | 1:13:45 | 1:13:49 | |
Proper account. | 1:13:49 | 1:13:50 | |
We've got great plans for Doctor Who, Bill, believe you me. | 1:13:50 | 1:13:54 | |
-Great plans. -Well, I'm, er... | 1:13:54 | 1:13:56 | |
-We're 100% committed too. -Very glad to hear it. | 1:13:56 | 1:13:58 | |
But we're looking at ways of refreshing it. | 1:13:58 | 1:14:01 | |
Um...regenerating it. | 1:14:01 | 1:14:03 | |
-Well, yes. Quite right. Spice things up a bit. -Bill... | 1:14:03 | 1:14:07 | |
I'm glad we're on the same wavelength anyway. | 1:14:07 | 1:14:09 | |
Ah, hell, Bill, there's no easy way of saying this. Um... | 1:14:09 | 1:14:14 | |
We want Doctor Who to go on. | 1:14:16 | 1:14:18 | |
Yes. | 1:14:18 | 1:14:20 | |
But not with you. | 1:14:21 | 1:14:23 | |
Like you said, things have got to change. | 1:14:27 | 1:14:31 | |
I see. | 1:14:37 | 1:14:38 | |
Who...who have you got in mind? | 1:14:45 | 1:14:49 | |
You're a hard act to follow, Bill. | 1:14:49 | 1:14:52 | |
No need for soft soap, Sydney. You know me better. | 1:14:52 | 1:14:55 | |
Who? | 1:14:55 | 1:14:57 | |
You approve? | 1:15:06 | 1:15:08 | |
Oh, yes, yes, quite. Patrick Troughton. | 1:15:08 | 1:15:13 | |
Excellent choice. | 1:15:13 | 1:15:16 | |
I'm so sorry, Bill. | 1:15:20 | 1:15:21 | |
"Fortune, good night, smile once more, turn thy wheel." | 1:15:26 | 1:15:33 | |
Huh? | 1:15:33 | 1:15:34 | |
King Lear. I did it once. Carried a spear. | 1:15:36 | 1:15:40 | |
Long time ago. | 1:15:40 | 1:15:42 | |
Long, long time ago. | 1:15:43 | 1:15:47 | |
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH | 1:15:58 | 1:16:00 | |
Everything all right, sir? | 1:16:10 | 1:16:12 | |
Are you OK? | 1:16:14 | 1:16:15 | |
You need to move along now, sir. | 1:16:17 | 1:16:20 | |
-Sir? -HE KNOCKS ON DOOR | 1:16:20 | 1:16:23 | |
You're in the way. | 1:16:23 | 1:16:25 | |
I'm sorry, sir, but... 'Ere, aren't you...? | 1:16:27 | 1:16:30 | |
I'm, er, sorry, very sorry, officer. | 1:16:30 | 1:16:33 | |
-You're him, aren't you? -Very sorry, officer. | 1:16:33 | 1:16:36 | |
You're Doctor Who. | 1:16:36 | 1:16:37 | |
Wait till I tell the kids. They bloomin' love you! | 1:16:40 | 1:16:44 | |
Well, it's, er, been agreed by, um... | 1:16:58 | 1:17:03 | |
by mutual consent that I should, er...pack it in. | 1:17:03 | 1:17:08 | |
Er... | 1:17:10 | 1:17:12 | |
-Oh, right. -Give it up. | 1:17:12 | 1:17:14 | |
I see. | 1:17:18 | 1:17:19 | |
Well...I think it's for the best, love. Truly, I do. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:35 | |
You can't go on like this. | 1:17:36 | 1:17:40 | |
And I've made my mark. Shown everyone I can do it. | 1:17:40 | 1:17:44 | |
I'm sure it'll lead to lots more interesting stuff, hm? | 1:17:44 | 1:17:49 | |
Yes. | 1:17:49 | 1:17:50 | |
Well, I'll make us a nice cup of tea. | 1:18:01 | 1:18:04 | |
I...I... | 1:18:06 | 1:18:09 | |
I don't want to go. | 1:18:10 | 1:18:12 | |
TEARFULLY: I...I don't want to go. | 1:18:16 | 1:18:20 | |
Oh... | 1:18:23 | 1:18:25 | |
Oh, Bill. | 1:18:25 | 1:18:27 | |
HE SOBS | 1:18:31 | 1:18:34 | |
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT | 1:18:47 | 1:18:49 | |
-Well, then. Who's Who? -HE CHUCKLES | 1:18:49 | 1:18:52 | |
I won't lie to you. I'm scared stiff. | 1:18:55 | 1:18:58 | |
Oh, you'll be fine. In fact, you'll be wonderful. | 1:18:58 | 1:19:01 | |
I...I told them, you know, | 1:19:01 | 1:19:03 | |
there's only one man in England who can take over. | 1:19:03 | 1:19:06 | |
Oh? Couldn't they get him? | 1:19:06 | 1:19:08 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:19:08 | 1:19:10 | |
-Red light, and bell. -BELL RINGS | 1:19:31 | 1:19:34 | |
OK, positions, everyone, please. And roll to record in 15... | 1:19:37 | 1:19:44 | |
METALLIC THRUMMING | 1:20:30 | 1:20:33 | |
'I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. | 1:21:31 | 1:21:35 | |
'With David, you'll be able to find those roots, | 1:21:35 | 1:21:38 | |
'live normally, like any woman should do. | 1:21:38 | 1:21:41 | |
'Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David | 1:21:41 | 1:21:45 | |
'and not with a silly old buffer like me. | 1:21:45 | 1:21:48 | |
'One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. | 1:21:48 | 1:21:54 | |
'Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. | 1:21:54 | 1:22:00 | |
'Just go forward in all your beliefs | 1:22:00 | 1:22:03 | |
'and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.' | 1:22:03 | 1:22:06 | |
This is your debut in pantomime. Do you see your future in pantomime? | 1:23:03 | 1:23:07 | |
No, no. | 1:23:07 | 1:23:08 | |
What qualities are there in pantomime that you feel you haven't got? | 1:23:08 | 1:23:12 | |
It's a different technique which lends itself only | 1:23:12 | 1:23:16 | |
to what I call a variety type of actor, | 1:23:16 | 1:23:18 | |
the actor who is used to playing on his own in a front cloth, | 1:23:18 | 1:23:22 | |
which is a variety actor. | 1:23:22 | 1:23:24 | |
But I'm not. I'm legitimate. I'm a legitimate character actor. | 1:23:24 | 1:23:28 | |
It was kind of a strange thing to do after the show, | 1:23:30 | 1:23:33 | |
but there were so many kids, I suppose, | 1:23:33 | 1:23:35 | |
who wanted to see the character again | 1:23:35 | 1:23:38 | |
and I remember just being in the audience | 1:23:38 | 1:23:40 | |
when all the kids go up to the front and he threw sweets out to the children, | 1:23:40 | 1:23:44 | |
and I remember catching his eye and catching a sweet. | 1:23:44 | 1:23:47 | |
My memories of him are really muddled up with Doctor Who. | 1:23:47 | 1:23:51 | |
The character that we saw on the television screen | 1:23:51 | 1:23:56 | |
was my grandfather. | 1:23:56 | 1:23:57 | |
I think he came to love playing the Doctor. | 1:23:57 | 1:24:00 | |
-But it so much captured the public imagination. -I know it did, yes. | 1:24:00 | 1:24:03 | |
-Do you think you'll ever shake it off? -Oh, yeah. -How? -Of course. | 1:24:03 | 1:24:07 | |
By making a success in something else. | 1:24:07 | 1:24:10 | |
-SHE CHUCKLES -Why do you think children like you? | 1:24:10 | 1:24:13 | |
Because you're rather a grumpy sort of person. | 1:24:13 | 1:24:16 | |
They find me a cross between the Wizard of Oz | 1:24:16 | 1:24:18 | |
and Father Christmas, you know. | 1:24:18 | 1:24:20 | |
He was a grumpy old man. | 1:24:20 | 1:24:22 | |
We were rehearsing and something happened and he went totally | 1:24:22 | 1:24:27 | |
and they cancelled the rest of the rehearsal. | 1:24:27 | 1:24:30 | |
He came in the next day | 1:24:30 | 1:24:32 | |
and he came in with three little posies of flowers for the ladies. | 1:24:32 | 1:24:36 | |
He obviously thought, "What can I take the chaps?" | 1:24:36 | 1:24:38 | |
And he came in with a tin of biscuits. | 1:24:38 | 1:24:41 | |
I found that so moving, somehow. | 1:24:41 | 1:24:43 | |
It was his grumpy way of saying, "I'm sorry." | 1:24:43 | 1:24:46 | |
The difficulty is asking an actor to play eccentric | 1:24:46 | 1:24:50 | |
because then they start to be ACTING. | 1:24:50 | 1:24:52 | |
Bill Hartnell wasn't acting it. | 1:24:52 | 1:24:55 | |
He was just implicitly, in his own way, eccentric. | 1:24:55 | 1:24:59 | |
The whole thing about Bill was that he was so unpredictable. | 1:24:59 | 1:25:03 | |
You'd didn't know what he was going to do. | 1:25:03 | 1:25:06 | |
There was this mystery about him. | 1:25:06 | 1:25:08 | |
I knew he wasn't well when he was working with me. | 1:25:08 | 1:25:12 | |
You could really see the stress and strain on him. | 1:25:12 | 1:25:15 | |
I discovered later that he had | 1:25:15 | 1:25:17 | |
really been suffering from something which caused him to have memory loss. | 1:25:17 | 1:25:21 | |
I was very sad that he left the show. | 1:25:21 | 1:25:23 | |
That must have been an absolute body blow to him. | 1:25:23 | 1:25:26 | |
Oh, so you're my replacements. A dandy and a clown. | 1:25:30 | 1:25:35 | |
When they decided to make the 10th anniversary programme, | 1:25:35 | 1:25:39 | |
my grandfather had deteriorated quite a lot. | 1:25:39 | 1:25:42 | |
He was not fully aware of how poorly he was. | 1:25:42 | 1:25:45 | |
Barry Letts, my producer, and I contacted Patrick Troughton | 1:25:45 | 1:25:50 | |
and he rang up William Hartnell | 1:25:50 | 1:25:52 | |
and William Hartnell was very keen too. | 1:25:52 | 1:25:54 | |
He said, "Yes, yes, be very happy to do it, love to do it." | 1:25:54 | 1:25:57 | |
I believe my grandmother had to intervene and say, | 1:25:57 | 1:26:00 | |
"Look, he's not really well enough to cope with learning lines | 1:26:00 | 1:26:03 | |
"and all that," but they devised a way to make it possible. | 1:26:03 | 1:26:06 | |
There were prompt boards in front of him for every line | 1:26:06 | 1:26:09 | |
and somebody would hold it up and Billy would say the line | 1:26:09 | 1:26:12 | |
and then there would be another line and another line. | 1:26:12 | 1:26:14 | |
Yes, well, the party's over now. | 1:26:14 | 1:26:17 | |
You young men and I go back to our time zones. | 1:26:17 | 1:26:20 | |
Though, considering the way things have been going, well, | 1:26:20 | 1:26:24 | |
I shudder to think what you will do without me. | 1:26:24 | 1:26:27 | |
I think Doctor Who gave him the opportunity to spread his wings, | 1:26:32 | 1:26:36 | |
to be childlike and to expand and to play around with the eccentricity | 1:26:36 | 1:26:42 | |
and the wonder of it all. | 1:26:42 | 1:26:44 | |
It's clear that he actually loved it. | 1:26:44 | 1:26:46 | |
The funny thing to think of is that up until the point | 1:26:46 | 1:26:50 | |
Patrick Troughton took over, there was only a Doctor. | 1:26:50 | 1:26:53 | |
He is the original. | 1:26:53 | 1:26:55 | |
The legacy of the way that he established the Doctor is still with us. | 1:26:55 | 1:27:00 | |
Absolutely nobody else has been anything like him. | 1:27:00 | 1:27:04 | |
A magic, a mystery. | 1:27:04 | 1:27:06 | |
You were never quite sure what was going to happen next with him. | 1:27:06 | 1:27:10 | |
Those of us who watched him over those first three years, | 1:27:10 | 1:27:14 | |
even though he was grumpy and rather distant, he was still our Doctor. | 1:27:14 | 1:27:19 | |
The fact that Doctor Who is still being made today, as we speak... | 1:27:21 | 1:27:25 | |
extraordinary, really. | 1:27:25 | 1:27:27 | |
I think it's a testament to William's Doctor | 1:27:27 | 1:27:29 | |
and I'm very proud to be part of it. | 1:27:29 | 1:27:31 | |
I think he would be so tickled pink that the character | 1:27:31 | 1:27:34 | |
he helped create is still thrilling audiences today. | 1:27:34 | 1:27:39 | |
He'd have been so, so thrilled by that. | 1:27:39 | 1:27:42 | |
