Doctor Who: “An Unearthly Child”

(1963; 95 minutes)
The Paley Center helps BBC Home Entertainment kick off its yearlong celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who with this screening of the very first Doctor Who story ever: “An Unearthly Child.” (True, we presented the first episode back in April 2012 with director Waris Hussein, but this time we’re not kidding around—you get the whole four-part arc!)

Susan Foreman is a mystery to her teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. She seemingly knows more than she should about the past … and the future. Ian and Barbara are further baffled when their curiosity leads them to follow Susan home one night, only to find that her “home” appears to be a deserted junkyard. There, they discover an odd police box and a strange old man who claims to be Susan’s grandfather and calls himself the Doctor. The journey of a lifetime is about to begin…

 

Our thanks to BBC Home Entertainment for making this series of Doctor Who screenings possible.
