About this listen

The first ever episode of Doctor Who broadcast from 23 November to 14 December 1963.

A spooky girl in a scrapyard and a stone age Macbeth production. It’s quite an opener and a lot more than a couple of teachers doing a welfare check could have ever imagined.

Grandfather has some sinister vibes and enjoys a spot of light kidnapping. We worry about how dangerous TARDIS furniture is in an (inevitable) crash. We love the clever camera work and music. David loves Barbara especially her wonderful robust hairdo. Sarah enjoys the burning skulls but is already bothered by all the shrieking. Oh dear.

Firsts: All the firsts, including “It’s bigger on the inside!”
