This is NOT the pilot, this is the broadcast episode. People get it confused as when you put the DVD in and hit 'play all' it runs the pilot first so a lot of people have them mixed up now.
The sure way to tell is if you can see the TARDIS interior through the open police box doors then it's the pilot and if it's just black (as in this vid) then it's the broadcast.
This was from the original, finalised version of An Unearthly Child that was aired on 23 Nov 1963. Most of the uploaded ones seen on YouTube was an alternative earlier version with different sound effects and script changes.
@KayneHindBull I noticed it also and so I looked at wikipedia which mentioned that when it was first shot they had a malfunction with the doors, so they re-taped the episode, and when the original was released it was called the "pilot version"
@SilentStrike186 There is indeed a pilot version, but they didn't reshoot the whole thing just because the doors didn't work in one scene! It was redone because the show's originator Sydney Newman saw the pilot and wrote out a list of changes that he felt needed to be made, mostly in the characterisations of Susan and the Doctor. The broadcast version also had modified sound effects and music, different costumes, etc.
The first appearance of the Doctor.........William Hartnell's performance was brilliant, and he set the examples for all the future Doctors, the eccentricity, the sense of........style, and the beginning of his fight against injustice and evil, DW is one of the best........, and i really wish i could say THE best, and it feels comforting that in the fictional world, the Doctor exists, and is travelling in time and space waiting for some brilliant creative mind to think of his next adventure.....
Good old Doctor XD Always very persistent at talking his way out of things in a hilarious way XD
