This special one-off drama travels back in time to 1963 to see how the
beloved Doctor Who was first brought to the screen. Actor William
Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Wannabe
producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry’s glass
ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected
challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama, time travel and
monsters! Allied with a team of brilliant people, they went on to create
the longest-running science fiction series ever, now celebrating its
50th anniversary
