This is how it all began....
A simple pilot episode. Never broadcast. Darkly mysterious, it had anything but solid story and characterization. Nevertheless the genesis is all there. The Doctor is an old and cranky man and the TARDIS is a police box. He has a granddaughter, who was born in another century. She is the primary subject of the story along with two nosy school teachers forcing their way into things.
The episode feels stretched and over acted. As if it is foreshadowing future events. A strange scene involving a peice of paper and smeared ink is inserted for no reason, other then to attempt and increase the mystery. On a positive note, it leaves you eager for the next story, which never came.
1 out of 5 TARDIS.
The pilot episode is non-canon and was remade into the first serial story, An Unearthly Child. For more information visit
