I love every Doctor, it's one of those roles that are always casted brilliantly.

A wise man once told me, "There is no new Doctor. There is no old Doctor. There is just the Doctor, in 11 different personalities..."

I am so grateful for Doctor Who. He's the sunshine on rainy days, a taste of the fantastic and a treat for the imagination.

[MrGarath]

This is invaluable, magnificent and well made.

@firstborn1988gorsaga Found it for you, mrdazbear has uploaded them, and I was right it was broadcast on 13/11/99. :)

@firstborn1988gorsaga I know the one you mean; he went onto say: '...it's so utterly preposterous.' :) I think it was simply called 'Adventures in time and space' or something, and formed part of BBC2's Dr Who Night, broadcast on either the 13th or the 30th November 1999 if I remember right. I used to have it on VHS but am sure it'll be on here somewhere if you search for 'Dr Who Night 1999'

The doucmentary I speak of also has an interview of Peter Davison how Dr Who in the early 80s tried to achieve production values unsuccessfully that would compete with Star Trek. When it talks of William Hartnells regeneration, it shows Patrick Throughton with recorder.

Could someone upload that other Dr Who documentary first broadcast around this time period. It has Tom Baker giving an interview on swings, one of his comments if you believe in the Christian faith I think you can believe anything.

at 06:15 William Hartnell sounds a bit like Yoda (with the hmm). Suddenly I wonder if George Lucas was a fan of the first doctor
