DOCTOR WHO fans will be well aware that this November marks the 20th anniversary of the time-traveller's TV adventures. To celebrate the event, the National Film Theatre in London has pieced together the largest collection of episodes ever assembled for a public screening, to be shown on the 29th and 30th of October. Some 70 episodes can be seen, ranging from I 963's very first Doc Who story to some of the latest Peter Davison adventures.
Such a spread of programmes represents a quite unique history of the development of TV as a whole, and of TV technology in particular. The first William Hartnell episode, for example, was recorded in less than an hour. Twenty years on, and an episode can involve months of preparation using some of the most up-to-date TV wizardry available in the world.
Some episodes and complete adventures to look out for include the entire first Doctor story; the first duel with the Daleks (also complete); the 4th part of The Web Planet from 1964 (which is the only attempt to date at a totally non-human supporting cast); and the complete Tom Baker adventure called The Brain of Morbius.
No Doctor Who fan in the area will want to miss this terrific Time Lord collection, but we strongly advise anyone wanting to attend to check times and availability of tickets with the NFI box office (Tel 01-928 3232). Those who can't make it to the NFL needn't despair as there's a special Doctor Who treat coming from the BBC and we'll be telling you about that very soon!
