    Default William Hartnell: The Original

    This sounds like a nice follow up to tonight's docudrama:

    The BBC has announced a new short documentary on the first Doctor William Hartnell will be screed on BBC Two tonight, directly following the Mark Gatiss docu-drama An Adventure in Space and Time.

    William Hartnell: The Original is five minute programme which looks at what happened to Hartnell after he left Doctor Who. The documentary features rare archive footage and brand new interviews with many who worked with him, including Carole Ann Ford, Peter Purves and Waris Hussein as well as Matt Smith, Peter Davison and Hartnell’s granddaughter, Jessica Carney.

    The programme is described as a revealing and affectionate portrait of a much-loved actor, and can be seen at 10.25pm on BBC Two

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    Wow, this came out of nowhere - not mentioned in any of the TV listings!

    A neat little '...and in the real world' addition to the programme. Particularly nice, I think, to hear Peter Davison talking as a viewer of the day.
