The First Doctor Who -- William Hartnell
These days, the long-running TV show "Doctor Who" is more succesful than ever, however, a lot of newer viewers don't understand the history of the show, which aired its first episode in 1963.
The character of the Doctor was first brought to the screen by 1st Doctor William Hartnell from September 1963 until October 1966.
The first Doctor was an old man with no name, a mysterious traveller who who had been exiled from his own time and place, who traveled through the universe in a time machine which was out of his control, and which was disguised in the shape of a police box.
William Hartnell's Doctor was irritable, forgetful, rude, and sometimes untrustworthy, or so he seemed to his first travelling companions, Ian and Barbara.~William Hartnell's Doctor was irritable, forgetful, rude, and sometimes untrustworthy, or so he seemed to his first travelling companions, Ian and Barbara.
The Doctor originally was an old man without a name, a strange wanderer who described himself as an exile, who traveled through the universe in a time machine he could barely control, and which was disguised in the guise of a police box.}
To stop Ian and Barbara from running to the police about what they'd found, the Doctor kidnaps them, dematerializing the TARDIS and sending it many millennia into the past, knowing he might never be able to return them to their own time in his battered, old and malfunctioning time machine.
The Doctor shows pretty questionable morals in the early episodes, in fact at one point in the first story, he appears ready to crush the skull of a caveman to aid in his and his companion's escape. The Doctor nearly killing a man in cold blood would seem completely out of character to newer viewers.
In the second story, The Daleks, he covertly sabotages the TARDIS as an excuse to venture into the unknown dangers outside, putting everyone in danger. The burning drive to learn -- no matter what -- is first established here is an important aspect of the Doctor's personality. This same {drive that led him to flee his own planet in the first placeand which will, in time, lead to the end of one of his future lives.}
Bill Hartnell's last story was The Tenth Planet, which aired in 1966. He left because of deteriorating health, but maintained a love for the show for the rest of his life.
He was able to make a limited appearance again for a story marking the tenth year of the show, The Three Doctorshowever, he died just a short time later.
The character of the first Doctor would appear in another story: The Five Doctors, played instead by Richard Hurndall.
Of the twenty-nine stories starring William Hartnell, just seventeen are still complete due to a short-sighted policy of the BBC in the early seventies. One of these losses was, unfortunately, the final episode of The Tenth Planet. While fortunately the first three parts of this four-part story are intact, just a few clips are still held by the BBC from the final episode of this final Doctor Who story to star William Hartnell as the first Doctor.
