Prepared by Frick with another Script Department staff member, John Braybon, this report recommended a series dealing with time travel as being an idea particularly worthy of development. Newman was a science fiction fan who had overseen several such productions in his previous positions at ABC Television and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Wilson and Webber contributed heavily to the formatting of the programme and its initial cast of regular characters, [7] and co-wrote the programme's first format document with Newman. Australian staff writer Anthony Coburn also contributed, penning the very first episode from a draft initially prepared by Webber, and coming up with Doctor Who A History 1st edition idea that the time machine, the TARDISshould externally resemble a police box. Doctor Who was originally intended to be an educational series, with the TARDIS taking the form of an object from that particular episode's time period a column in Ancient Greece, a sarcophagus in Egypt, etc. When the show's budget was Doctor Who A History 1st edition, however, it was discovered that it was prohibitively expensive to re-dress the TARDIS model for each episode; [ citation needed ] instead, the TARDIS's "Chameleon Circuit" was said to be malfunctioning, giving the prop its characteristic 'police-box' appearance. The series' theme music was written by film and television composer Ron Grainer who would later go on to also compose the theme to The Prisoneramong others in collaboration with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. While Grainer wrote the theme, it was who was responsible for its creation, using a series of tape recorders to laboriously cut and join together the individual sounds she created with both concrete sources and square- and sine-wave oscillators. Grainer was amazed at the results and asked "Did I write that? Derbyshire replied that he mostly had. Doctor Who A History 1st edition BBC who wanted to keep members of the Workshop anonymous prevented Grainer from getting her a co-composer credit and half the royalties. The title sequence was designed by graphics designer Bernard Lodge and realised by electronic effects specialist Norman Taylor. After actors Hugh David later a director on the series and Geoffrey Bayldon [11] had both turned down approaches to star in the series, Verity Lambert and the first serial's director Waris Hussein managed to persuade year-old character actor William Hartnell to take the part Doctor Who A History 1st edition the Doctor. Hartnell was known mostly for playing army sergeants and other tough characters in Doctor Who A History 1st edition variety of films, but Lambert had been impressed with his sensitive performance as a rugby league talent scout in the film version of This Sporting Lifewhich inspired her to offer him the role. Hartnell's Doctor would initially be Doctor Who A History 1st edition by his granddaughter Susan Foreman played by Carole Ann Fordoriginally to have been merely a travelling companionbut with a family tie added by Coburn, who was uncomfortable with the possible undertones the relationship could carry were they to be unrelated. This remained the line-up of the series for the entire first season, but over time the regular line- up would change regularly as the Doctor's various companions left him to return home, having found new causes on worlds they had visited and elected Doctor Who A History 1st edition stay there, or even occasionally being killed off. However, he would always quickly find new travelling companions. Such characters were used by the production team to relate the point of view of the viewers at home, asking questions and furthering the stories by getting into trouble. The first pilot episode of the series, "", had to be re-recorded owing to technical problems and errors made during the performance. During the days between the two tapings, changes were made to costuming, effects, performances, and the script which had originally featured a more callous Doctor, and Susan doing unexplained things such as flicking ink on paper and folding it to produce a symmetrical pattern, and then tracing shapes over the pattern. This second version of " An Unearthly Child ", the first episode of the very first serial, was transmitted at 5. Kennedy's assassinationit drew minimal comment and was repeated the following week immediately before the second episode. It was not until the second serial, The Daleksthat the programme caught the imaginations of viewers and began to ingrain itself in the popular consciousness. This was primarily due to the creatures introduced in this story. Devised by scriptwriter Terry Nation and designer Raymond Cusickthey were completely un-humanoid and like nothing that had been seen on television before. Lambert had in fact been strongly advised against using Nation's script by her direct superior Donald Wilsonbut used the excuse that they had nothing else ready in order to produce it. Once it was clear what a great success it had been, Wilson admitted to Lambert that he would no longer interfere with her decisions as she clearly knew the programme better than he did. Hartnell's Doctor was not initially paternal or sympathetic; he described himself and Susan simply as "wanderers in the 4th dimension". He was cantankerous, [11] bossy and occasionally showed a streak of ruthlessness. However, the character mellowed as he grew closer to his companions, and he soon became a popular icon, especially among children who watched the series. This alteration in the portrayal of the Doctor began during the fourth serial, . The Doctor's role was minimal during episode two, "The Singing Sands", and from the later episodes his portrayal of the character mellowed considerably. Whitaker left the show early in the second season though continued writing for it until[12] being briefly replaced by Dennis Spoonerwho in turn was replaced by Donald Tosh at the end of the season. Pinfield also left halfway through the season due to poor health, but was not replaced. By the time of the third season inhowever, some difficulties were beginning to arise. Lambert had moved on, to be replaced as producer by John Wileswho did not have a good working relationship with Hartnell. The lead actor himself was finding it increasingly difficult to remember his lines as he was suffering from the early Doctor Who A History 1st edition of the arteriosclerosis that would later cause his death. Wiles and Tosh came up with a way of writing Hartnell out in the story The Celestial Toymakerby having the Doctor made invisible for part of the story, [13] intending that when he re-appeared he would be played by a new actor. Wiles had also hoped to make other bold changes, such as introducing a companion with a cockney accent which was vetoed, as he was told all characters must speak " BBC English "and resigned shortly afterwards allegedly after learning Doctor Who A History 1st edition he would be sacked at the end of the seasonwith Tosh also resigning on principle. Byhowever, it was clear that Hartnell's health was affecting his Doctor Who A History 1st edition, and that he would not be able to carry on playing the Doctor for a long period of time. By this point Savory had moved on as Head of Serials and his successor, Shaun Suttonwas more agreeable to change, allowing Wiles' replacement, Innes Lloydto make many of the very changes that Wiles had been barred from. Lloyd discussed the situation with Hartnell and the actor agreed that it would be best to leave, although later in life he would claim that he had not wanted to go. Lloyd and story editor Gerry Davis came up with an intriguing way of writing the First Doctor out — as he was an alien being, they decided that he would have the power to change his body when it became worn out or seriously injured, a process that was called "renewal" but would later become known within the mythology of the series as " regeneration ". Lloyd and Davis cast actor Patrick Troughtonwho first appeared in November after the changeover from Hartnell had been seen at the end of the story . That serial also introduced the popular Cybermenvillains who would return to face the Doctor on several subsequent occasions. Doctor Who A History 1st edition played the role generally in a more lightweight, comical manner, albeit still with much of the original character's passionate hatred of evil and desire Doctor Who A History 1st edition help the oppressed. He also on occasion showed a darker side, manipulating his companions and the people around him for the greater good examples include The Tomb of the Cybermen and The Evil of the . Davis left the show at the end of the fourth season, and was replaced by . A few months later, Lloyd left the show and Bryant was promoted to producer. Bryant's successor as script editor was Derrick Sherwin though Victor Pemberton had filled the job for Bryant's first serial, The Tomb of the Cybermen. Troughton remained in the part for three seasons untileventually tiring of the workload of starring in a regular series. By this time, the viewing figures for Doctor Who had fallen considerably, and new script editor recalled that there was some talk of ending the series at the conclusion of its sixth season in though this has been denied by Bryant, Sherwin and director David Maloneywith paperwork suggesting it was actually in danger at the end of the seventh season in The series' budget was also increasingly strained by the cost of exotic sets, costumes and props every time the Doctor visited a new setting, and so Bryant and Doctor Who A History 1st edition now effectively acting as co-producer, though the BBC refused to credit him as such came up with the idea of reducing the cost of the series by setting all of the adventures on Earth, with the Doctor to act as the Scientific Advisor to an organisation called UNIT, the United Nations Intelligence Taskforcecharged with defending the Earth from alien invasion. This new set-up was tested in the season six-story The Invasionand at the end of the season was put in place more permanently by having the captured by his own race, the Time Lordsand sentenced to on Earth with his appearance being changed again as punishment for his interference in the affairs of other races. Thus Doctor Who ended its sixth production block, and its black and white era. From then on, in common with other British television programmes, it was produced in colour. Sherwin's first choice to replace Troughton was actor Ron Moodystar of the musical Oliver! Sherwin had hoped that Pertwee would bring Doctor Who A History 1st edition of his comic acting skill to the part, but he was keen to establish himself as a serious dramatic actor as well as a comedian. Although some lighter touches were visible throughout Pertwee's era, he essentially played it very "straight" and not at all as Sherwin had envisioned. Pertwee's Doctor was more action-oriented than his predecessors, and the producers allowed Pertwee to indulge his love of riding various vehicles Doctor Who A History 1st edition his tenure, including motorcycles, hovercraft, the so-called "Whomobile" and the Doctor's vintage roadster, "Bessie". Sherwin stayed only to oversee the first story of the seventh season. was the first Doctor Who story to be made in colour and — due to industrial action in the electronic studios — the only example of the original series to be made entirely on film. Thereafter, he moved on to work on the series Paul Templeand was replaced by director after another regular director on the show, Douglas Camfieldhad turned down the job. The seventh season, at twenty-five episodes, was shorter than any before, and established a pattern of Doctor Who seasons being between twenty and twenty-eight minute episodes in length, one that would last until the middle of the s. However, although the new format of the Doctor being stuck on Earth had proved popular enough to save the programme from cancellation, neither Doctor Who A History 1st edition nor his script editor Terrance Dicks were particularly keen on the idea, and from the eighth season onwards sought reasons for the Doctor to be able to travel in time and space again, eventually having the Time Lords grant him full freedom at the conclusion of the tenth anniversary Doctor Who A History 1st edition, The Three Doctorsa serial which also featured guest appearances from Troughton and Hartnell, the latter in a restricted role due to his poor health. Another innovation of theirs from the eighth season onwards was the introduction of the character of as a new nemesis for the Doctor, conceived as a Professor Moriarty to the Doctor's Sherlock Holmes. Played by Roger Delgadohe became a highly popular character, although over the following two seasons it was felt, by both the public and the production office, that he became a little overused. Delgado and the production team eventually agreed that he should be written out during the eleventh season by killing the character off, with some ambiguity as to whether or not he had died to save the Doctor. However, before this story could be written, Delgado was killed in a car accident in Turkey. His death had a profound effect on Pertwee. With actress also having departed from her role as companion after three seasons, and Letts and Dicks both planning to move on, Pertwee felt that his "family" on the show was breaking up, and he decided to leave at the conclusion of the eleventh season in According to in an interview on the DVD release of Invasion of the Dinosaurs Pertwee asked for a substantially increased fee for another year on the series, but he was turned down and subsequently Doctor Who A History 1st edition from the role. Although Letts and Dicks were both planning on leaving at the end of the same season, it was they who worked closely on re-casting the role of the Doctor, in preparation to hand over to their successors, producer and script editor Robert Holmeswho had been a long-time writer for the programme. Letts had intended to cast an older actor as the Fourth Doctor, to hark back to Hartnell's portrayal in the s, but after a long search he eventually selected Tom Bakerwho was suggested to him by the incoming Head of Serials, Bill Slater. Baker was only forty years old, almost fifteen years Pertwee's junior, but despite not being the type of actor Letts had originally been looking for, he went on to become arguably the most popular and best-remembered to play the role. Baker's Doctor was a more eccentric personality, at times passionate and caring, but at other times aloof and alien. This ambivalence was a deliberate choice by Baker, in an attempt to remind the viewers that the Doctor was not human, and therefore had non-human characteristics. Under the control of Hinchcliffe and Holmes, who took over from the beginning of the twelfth season, Doctor Who became a much darker programme, with the pair being heavily influenced by Hammer Films ' successful horror film productions and other gothic influences. While the BBC publicly defended Doctor Who A History 1st edition programme, after three seasons Hinchcliffe was moved on to Doctor Who A History 1st edition adult police thriller series Target inand his replacement, Graham Williamswas specifically Doctor Who A History 1st edition to lighten the tone of the storylines. After staying on during the fifteenth season under Williams for a brief handover period, Holmes also left the programme, and his replacement, Anthony Readworked with Williams, who was told to create a less violent and more humour-based approach, much to Baker's liking. The actor now felt very possessive of the part and frequently argued Doctor Who A History 1st edition directors over his inclusion Doctor Who A History 1st edition ad-libbed lines, but he was extremely pleased when the levity of the show increased even further after the departure of Read and the hiring of Douglas Adams as script editor Doctor Who A History 1st edition season seventeen in Some fans have criticised Adams for introducing too much of the sort of humorous content that served him well in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. However, there were also problems: director Alan Bromly left the production towards the end of the story due to frustrations at the technicalities of production and arguments with Baker, leaving Williams to oversee completion of the story. Rampant inflation in the television industry was squeezing the series, with the budget much reduced in real terms from where it had been under Hinchcliffe. The scheduled final story of the season, Adams' own Shadawas abandoned midway through recording due to industrial action, and the season finished, after just twenty episodes, in January Williams and Adams both departed at the end of the season, Williams because he had had enough of the programme after three seasons in charge, and Adams to concentrate on his increasingly successful Hitchhiker's franchise. Although MacDonald agreed with the principle of appointing someone familiar with Doctor Who A History 1st edition workings of the show, he first offered the job to Nathan-Turner's predecessor George Gallacciowho after leaving Doctor Who in had already gained experience as a producer on the BBC Scotland drama The Omega Factor. However, Gallaccio turned the role down, and MacDonald offered it instead to Nathan-Turner, who accepted, and became the new producer. As Nathan-Turner was a new producer and a restructure of the Drama Department meant that MacDonald would not be able to offer the direct support that had been available to previous producers, the latter appointed Barry Letts to return to Doctor Who A History 1st edition series as Executive Producer and oversee Nathan-Turner's initial season working on the series. Letts had, in fact, been offering unofficial advice and comment to Graham Williams for some time beforehand. Nathan-Turner and the new script editor, Christopher H. Bidmeadsought to return to a more serious tone for the series, reining in much of the humour that had been prevalent during Williams' tenure. The new producer also sought to bring the show "into the s", commissioning a new title sequence, bringing all the incidental music in-house to be produced electronically by the BBC Radiophonic Workshopand commissioning of the Workshop Doctor Who A History 1st edition come up with a brand-new Doctor Who A History 1st edition of the series' famous theme tune. This displeased both Baker and his co-star Lalla Wardwho did not see eye-to-eye with Nathan-Turner on the new direction. These changes arrived with season eighteen in the autumn ofwhen the audience for Doctor Who fell dramatically to around five million viewers, due chiefly to competition from the ITV network's American import Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. decided that after seven seasons in the part he would leave the role. His departure was heavily publicised in the press, with Baker attracting much comment for his tongue-in-cheek suggestion that his successor could be a woman, which the publicity-aware Nathan-Turner was not quick to deny. The producer initially sought actor Richard Griffiths to succeed Baker, but when he proved unavailable, cast Peter Davisonwith whom he had previously worked on the popular drama series All Creatures Great and Small. Davison was very different from his four predecessors, being much younger, in line with Nathan-Turner's desire for the Fifth Doctor to be completely unlike the popular Fourthso that the public would Doctor Who A History 1st edition draw unfavourable comparisons between the two.

Louis began running the series; he became the iconic "Doctor" figure for me and all subsequent and former incarnations were measured against him. I never liked the Doctor Who A History 1st edition, 6th and 7th incarnations as much, and I only ever Doctor Who A History 1st edition a handful of the 2nd and 3rd, and I lost track of the series after its cancellation in the '80s as I recall. I caught the first season of the new Doctor Who A History 1st edition Who on one of my PBS stations in Los Angeles no - I don't have cable and thoroughly enjoyed Eccleston's portrayal I was seriously disappointed when he left after only one season. One of the best lines in the new series is Eccleston's Doctor's response to Rose's question about not having a "real" name: "Nine centuries in, I'm Doctor Who A History 1st edition. View 1 comment. Mar 19, Nicholas Whyte rated it it was amazing. Although the cover claims it is the second edition, Parkin states that it is actually the fourth, and I hope it won't be the last; quite apart from the TV episodes of Who, Sarah Jane and Torchwood and K9? Having said that, there are already "almost " stories covered here in more than pages, with around meticulous footnotes and various slightly longer essays. I had not realised that the evidence for Bernice Summerfield's birthday is equally confusing. Parkin also goes to great lengths to demonstrate that several Second Doctor stories which I had mentally placed much later are probably set in the 21st century, and raises the interesting question of how the Cybermen in could have obtained footage from Revenge of the Cybermen which is clearly set centuries later. There are other delightful details as well - I now know when the Doctor first met Winston Churchillin the Sixth Doctor novel Players and have several more Shakespeare appearances to add to my list. I picked up on just a couple of slips - an apostrophe has mysteriously infiltrated early mentions of the Scots Guards, and Susan reminisces about her home planet in , not Marco Polo. But in general I loved it. In particular, I think the book could be a useful gateway drug for fans of the TV series who are bewildered by the various series of Who books and audios, and are looking for guidance on where to start. Ever wanted to know when the Cybermen were created? Or how about when invaded Earth for the first time? Or perhaps how the universe began and how it will end? Well fans here's your chance with Ahistory Second Edition. So is there a difference with the first edition? Oh yes and that difference is the reason enough to get this one. This edition has been expanded to cover not just the books and Big Finish audios published after the first edition but the two series of the revived TV ser Ever wanted to know when the Cybermen were created? This edition has been expanded to cover not just the books and Big Finish audios published after the first edition but the two series of the revived TV series featuring David Tennant plus Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures, and even the long running Doctor Who comic strip. Where has the first book contained or so stories this one contains well over It also presents interesting theories regarding continuity gaffs over the various stories. One of the best things about the book is that it gives nice, neat little summaries of each story which is helpful when you're a fan seeking good stories. The summaries are usually filled with spoilers for the different stories so consider your-self officially warned. While the spoilers aren't good for new fans, long-time fans should enjoy this. Full of theories and dates, this book should be helpful to any fan fiction writer looking for a good time to set a story at. Or if you're a die-hard Who fan seeking to know history according to the Doctor, it's just about as good as stepping into a real-life Tardis. Definitely recommended to Who fans. Shelves: doctor-who. Parkin takes every event from Doctor Who history and arranges it chronologically, with a dating note for each and every entry. Finished the 3rd edition, over pages of new information. Jan 25, Kristina rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Whovians. Shelves: non- fictionmy-bookreference. Its detail is exhausting. Anything you want to know about Doctor Who and by extension Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures and all the books and graphic novels, etc. It's arranged in a logical manner but is nonetheless confusing just because by its nature time travel is a ball of timey-wimey stuff and cannot be pinned down to conventional linear thought. I've enjoyed dipping in and out of it but have to stop until I am caught up on Doctor Who still in season 6 and Torchwood near the end of season 2. I'm in danger of having my plots spoiled by continuing to read this book. This isn't a book to be read from beginning to end although I suppose you could--it's interesting enough so I created a special shelf for it reference that denotes its designation as Doctor Who A History 1st edition book to be consulted when I have particular questions regarding Doctor Who or forget the particulars of a specific plot. However, this book is not an encyclopedia or dictionary--it's more about the time stream of events and the characters' place in those events. I think I will need to indulge my obsession by buying a Doctor Who encyclopedia and Doctor Who A History 1st edition know they exist Apr 10, Sam O'Neill rated it it was amazing Shelves: sf. Us Doctor Who fans are probably far more preoccupied with continuity than any other set of fans in the whole world, which I think is more than a bit ironic as Doctor Who itself clearly isn't. Most fans who try to do the impossible and put the Doctor's adventures into some sort of order Doctor Who A History 1st edition to put things from the Doctor's point of view, which is hard enough, but Parkin and Pearson Doctor Who A History 1st edition really made it hard for themselves by trying to put the whole history of the Dr Who universe into one history - Us Doctor Who fans are probably far more preoccupied with continuity than any other set of fans in the Doctor Who A History 1st edition world, which I think is more than a bit ironic as Doctor Who itself clearly isn't.

There is that much stuff crammed in there they do not even have space for a space in the title. This second edition includes pretty much everything from TV, Big Finish Finish, the books, and even the comics right up until It's a controversial book, as you'd expect, as the authors tackle divisive topics like UNIT dating, the destruction s of and even the Doctor's past, but it's engaging and fun throughout, and there's not been a book to top it yet. Hopefully there'll be a third edition at some point, but it will have to be BIG If you thought there was NO WAY you could create a detailed, comprehensive, annotated time line of every Doctor Who story -- from the dawn of time to the end of the universe -- you were mistaken. It's updated only as far as the end of David Tennant's second year as the Doctor There simply aren't any words to adequately describe this amazing work of geeky scholarship. I'll admit, I was wary of picking up Ahistory because I don't really think of myself as being a particularly continuity-obsessed type of fan. However, you don't need to be to enjoy Ahistory. Not only is the book a very readable history of Doctor Who A History 1st edition Doctor Who universe, but it also offers an interesting look at certain recurring themes in Doctor Who. For example, a great many of the Doctor Who stories about Earth's colonial expansion can be placed in a surprisingly consistent timeline, and it's interes I'll admit, I was wary of picking up Ahistory because I don't really think of myself as being a particularly continuity-obsessed type of fan.

View 2 comments. Alright, so I haven't actually sat down and read the whole thing cover to cover, but I've read a great deal of it throughout various sittings. Whenever I watch an episode, classic or new series, it proves itself as an invaluable reference time and time again. Parkin has truly accomplished something most of us fans Doctor Who A History 1st edition only dream of since we have lives - he's gone through nearly every piece of Doctor Who ever created.
