The William Hartnell Years 1963-1966.
Features: DVD
The Doctor is a renegade Time Lord: an eccentric, highly-intelligent scientist from a distant planet. He travels through time and space in the TARDIS, a curious device, larger on the inside than on the outside, which was designed to change its appearance to suit its surroundings. Unfortunately, the Doctor's TARDIS seems to be broken, and always appears as a blue British police box. The Doctor has a soft spot for the planet Earth, and often visits there, either to save it from various alien threats or to whisk a choice few inhabitants away to the distant parts of the galaxy to help him fight evil there. The Doctor has many foes, including Daleks (led by Davros), and The Master, another renegade Time Lord. Time Lord biology enables them to regenerate their bodies, and so both the Doctor and the Master appear evolve over the years...Format: DVD MOVIE
Editor's Note
This collection includes "An Unearthly Child," the premiere episode of the Doctor Who adventure series. Here Doctor Who (William Hartnell) leads his young granddaughter and a pair of her teachers on a prehistoric quest for fire. Then, Doctor Who grapples with the Daleks for the first time in "The Daleks," an extended collection of seven episodes from the popular BBC series. Finally, in "The Edge of Destruction," the Tardis lands on a seemingly dead world and the Doctor becomes curious. While exploring the planet's empty city, Who and crew discover--to their horror--a deadly amount of radiation in the air, a mutant race of peaceable Thais, and the sinister Daleks who control the world for their own cruel advantage.Taking place entirely inside the Tardis, "The Edge of Destruction" features original Doctor William Hartnell in a terrifying story of sabotage. When the crew awaken after an explosion, they discover that the ship is barely running, and no on is sure what has happened.
