Two teachers meet a mysterious and cranky old man within a oddly roomy Police Box found in a junk yard. Part 1/4 Intro: "Don't move, because it's time for our first encounter with the seminal Doctor in the first ever episode of Doctor Who, broadcast back in 1963, An Unearthly Child. William Hartnell crashes through the cosmos as the Doctor, and the TARDIS had jaws dropping across the UK with its transdimensional engineering. Here, two teachers concerned by one of their students meet her strange grandfather at his address, a junkyard, and become unwilling passengers on the one and only TARDIS as he takes them on a trip to the stone age. You can join the chat on Twitter using the hashtag #WhoOnHorror." The ad break occurs as Ian and Barbara watch Susan enter the junkyard, and Barbara wonders that it's "as if we're about to interfere in something that's best left alone"... |
