An array of rare archive footage from the missing stories of Doctor Who as well as presenting the incredible stories that recount their discovery from Nigeria to Australia.

S0 · E627An Adventure in Space and Time 2013-11-21 · 90 min

This special one-off drama travels back in time to 1963 to see how Doctor Who was first brought to the screen. Actor William Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Wannabe producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry's glass ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama. Allied with a team of unusual but brilliant people, they went on to create the longest running science fiction series ever made.

S0 · E630The William Hartnell Era 1966-11-01 · 147 min

In this part, the era of the First Doctor, William Hartnell, is considered. We take a look at TV production in the sixties, and how Doctor Who came to be made before looking in depth at two of my favourite stories of this era.

S0 · E631The Patrick Troughton Era 1969-06-25 · 37 min

In this part, the era of the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, is considered. We take a look how the decision to recast the lead was made, and how social concerns influenced the development of a key enemy, before looking in depth at two of what I consider standout stories from this era.

S0 · E632The Jon Pertwee Era 1974-06-12 · 37 min

In this part, the era of the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, is considered. We explore how Doctor Who had to change to meet the demands of seventies' television and how it grew to more overtly reflect social and ecological concerns, before looking, in depth, at select stories from this era.

S0 · E633The Tom Baker Era 1981-03-25 · 62 min

In this part, the era of the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, is considered. We explore the 'Golden Era' of Doctor Who, looking at how the show developed into a far darker and scarier version, influenced by the Gothic Horror genre, and the resultant backlash from self-appointed 'moral guardians'. We also consider the economic troubles of the late seventies and their effect on the show before its regeneration just in time for the eighties. Along the way, three stand out stories are looked at in depth with plenty of clips from the full seven-year Baker tenure!

S0 · E634The Peter Davison Era 1984-03-21 · 39 min

In this part, the era of the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, is considered. We explore how the television landscape changed as the show entered the eighties and how changes to the format ensured a renewed interest. Two stand-out stories are looked at in detail and we take a look at how the show celebrated its twentieth anniversary before preparing itself for an even more radical change.

S0 · E635The Colin Baker Era 1986-12-11 · 55 min

In this part, the era of the Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker, is considered. We take a look at how Peter Davison's departure spurred John Nathan-Turner to gamble with the creation of an incarnation wildly different from what went before. We consider how social hysteria informed one of the stand-out stories of the era before moving on to look at how the show came under fire from an executive who had no love for science-fiction.

S0 · E636The Sylvester McCoy Era 1989-12-13 · 47 min

In this part, the era of the Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, is considered. We look at how producer, John Nathan-Turner, was forced to undertake the unpleasant task of replacing the lead and how he came to choose the eccentric McCoy for the role. The pressure of TV execs and protest groups to tone down the show's violent excesses and how this led to a rather tame and camp version of what went before is looked at before we consider how the show finally regained its stride, producing some of the best ever episodes before its untimely demise.

S0 · E637The Wilderness Years & The Paul McGann Era 1996-05-20 · 86 min

In this part, the fourteen-year period following the cancellation of Classic Doctor Who is examined. We look at how the Doctor Who mythos refused to die and how it continued in novel and comic forms whilst various production companies tried their utmost to take control of the show's future on the small and silver screens. We glimpse at the horror that was 'Dimensions in Time' before taking a comprehensive and detailed look at the long-gestating TV Movie starring Paul McGann, how it ultimately failed to reboot the show, and what came next...
