Both of the older movies are just consolidations of the serials but with different actors, locations, and quality. I believe they even say "Based on %serialname by %author."

It was a bit of a Heath Robinson mash-up wasn't it!

Hmm. 15th October 1981 for the Target novelization. A bit earlier that I suspected. As JNT once said, "Memory cheats!" I have The Making Of Doctor Who somewhere, but since I've moved, it's difficult to find so many things! Trying to recall the entry in that book, the image of 100, 000 BC seems to pop into my mind. That book was 1976. Monday 2nd November 1981 was the start date for The Five Faces Of Doctor Who repeat season on BBC2. So maybe they did settle upon it at that time and possibly Terrance Dicks had something to do with it. TARDIS Data Core notes as below in their story title problem page which goes through all the Hartnell stories that had individual episode titles. "An Unearthly Child is the title used on every home video release of the first four episodes of the programme: "An Unearthly Child", "The Cave of Skulls", "The Forest of Fear" and "The Firemaker". Because of this consistent usage on home video, most are perfectly happy to accept the BBC DVD title. However, the final title used by the production team at the time of original transmission was 100,000 BC, while the working title was The Tribe of Gum. (REF: The First Doctor Handbook) Because it can be established that the intent of Verity Lambert and her team was to call the story 100,000 BC, and because that is a name which better describes the bulk of the episodes than An Unearthly Child, some fans vigorously dispute "Unearthly" as anything other than the title of episode 1. However, The Tribe of Gum also has its supporters, because it was used as the title of the four-part script when it was published by Titan Books as a part of their Doctor Who: The Scripts series. Some feel that this name comes closest to the intent of the scriptwriter, Anthony Coburn, but this is debatable in that said working title originated from earlier drafts of the script where Kal was instead named Gum. Thus, with the later name change, it can be said that the tribe was no longer of Gum, but instead of Kal." Source. TARDIS Data Core: Disputed Story Titles.

The characterization of the doctor is a bit off that movie "I am Doctor Who and this is tardis" no center collumn

Henry Fuller

I grew up in Connecticut. We'd go to Cape Cod in the Summef it was beautiful I miss it. I've been living in the mid west for the past 15 years. No fresh seafood out here it sucks.

Henry Fuller

The first serial was orginally called 100,000 bc right? Didn't they start calling the whole thing an unearthly child after the target novel came out.

Hi Kat and Paula: Can we just mention, at this point, the marvellous Delia Derbyshire who realized Ron Grainer's theme composition for Doctor Who? Sadly, although Delia brought the theme to life, she wasn't personally credited. The onscreen credit is to The BBC Radiophonic Workshop. There is a radio play called The Sculptress Of Sound dedicated to her. The story goes, via Delia, that she was given the composition with various notations like 'cloud effects' and 'bubbles' and she got to work. On completion, the theme was played to Ron. "Did I write that?" Delia replied, "Most of it!" Ron Grainer, composer of the Doctor Who theme, always said Delia Derbyshire should receive a co-composer credit for her arrangement but in 1963 the BBC preferred to keep the Workshop assistants anonymous so Delia’s creativity wasn’t recognised. Nowadays, we certainly adore her contribution to music history. Delia Derbyshire: 5 May 1937 - 3 July 2001

Well, remember that it was Lime Grove!

"So close, you can feel their fire!" Wasn't that the slogan?

Josef Schiltz

Indeed. A great amount of development of the characters and Oh! That's when that happened! moments. 'The Edge of Destruction' - also referred to as 'Inside the Spaceship' - by David Whitaker, is vital.

Thing is, some of us are of the generation when continuity stories were far more common. Serializations were in magazines, comics and television, even in the cinema. Many of us over a certain age will be familiar with the Dan Dare strip by Frank Hampson and his studio of helpers. My Head of Illustration at art college in Ipswich, Andrew Dodds, was one of his helpers during the strip's heyday in the 50s. Some Dan Dare stories would last for a whole year. Dan Dare was a mainstay of the Eagle comic and had a sibling publication called Girl. Both had the top sequential artists working for them at the time. Some went on to illustrate the Doctor Who strips in later publications once Eagle folded in the mid-late 60s. Basically, having a lengthy serial in the Doctor Who universe was nothing. It allowed for much more character development and changes of pace within the story environment. What one of the earlier script editors, Dennis Spooner, called the 'W' of drama. Peaks of activity, followed by periods of relative rest and taking stock of situations where character scenes could comfortably take place. Not jemmied in on the run in a sense of panic. Thusly, the audience empathy with the characters was enhanced.

And in technicolour! <3

21:40 such Peter Capaldi vibes in his manner right there :D

The sound stage can't be that big. Susan'll be fine.

Bill

The first Doctor Who movie (Doctor Who and the Daleks (1965) is essentially this story, but kookier.

Bill

Barbara is a bad ass b#$&% like Ripley in Alien. Ian and Barbara are a great team

Henry Fuller

Keep in mind with this story and others what river said, "the doctor lies"

Henry Fuller

Traveling with Ian and Barbara makes the doctor a better man. I believe the Doctor went through alot of loss and trauma. His companions make him better there by he makes others better. He chose the name Doctor for reason many years ago

Henry Fuller

Its not true that nobody reacts to the entire unearthly child serial. I can list 6 reactors on youtube and patreon who do not skip it. Some only skip the missing stories. Its a mistake to skip the rest of the first serial shows character growth for the doctor. Its a kin to skipping the first season tng. You miss alot.

Henry Fuller

About that first episode cliffhanger: Verity Lambert told the story that as soon as the broadcast of that episode ended, her phone rang. It was a friend of hers who just said "Oh my God, Verity, what is it?" It's hard for a modern viewer to understand just how shocking the Daleks were when they first appeared. They were deliberately designed to have no human or humanoid features at all— right down to the single eyestalk. Preliminary design sketches gave them two eye lenses, as well as jointed arms with mechanical hands, for a more comprehensible appearance, but the design was revised to make them even more alien. These days we're used to the Daleks themselves and also non-humanoid aliens as well as robots (like R2-D2) but in 1963 nothing as alien as the Daleks had ever been seen on screen before.

Keith Goodnight

Yeah, considering they have to remember a lot of lines in one take like a mini-play, it's made me respect the actors so much more. (Though I do find Hartnell's flubs a bit adorbz).

Nicole Mazza

Spoiler for the rest the Unearthly Child. The First Doctor in the earliest stories has not yet become a hero. There is a moment in one of these episodes where a wounded native is slowing down the companions escape. The Doctor wants to abandon him, but Ian and the others refuse. The Doctor picks up a rock with murderous intent. Ian stops him. How far the Doctor have to go to become the person we know and love? The Doctor will tell Bill Potts that the universe isnt fair and that evil should overcome good and he doesnt know why good prevails. remember her answer?

Mark Ten

I hope all that stuff from Gallifrey One was okay in the trunk of Paula's car! - considering all that rain.

Josef Schiltz

Pausing to say, yeah, that cliffhanger with Barbara and the Dalek plunger (which sounds weird out of context, but still!) is ICONIC. It definitely still shows up in 'clips shows' and whatever. Such a great little moment -- especially considering how Barbara goes full circle from her original fear of the Daleks to MOWING THEM DOWN WITH A JEEP LIKE A BADASS in 'Dalek Invasion of Earth' (Susan's last story that you guys watched some time ago) later on. ❤️

Nicole Mazza

Hey I would definitely watch the unearthly child arc because the last minute or so does lead in to the daleks story arc. That's why you don't see them land and they seem to be in mid conversation at the beginning of the episode.

William Green

Posted while watching the first minutes of the Gals' video: I don't know about other fans, but I *DO* watch the other 3 episodes of "An Unearthly Child" when rewatching the series. I'll agree that they form one of Dr Who's lesser stories overall, but I think they're better than their reputation. Strangely, for a story with cavemen grunting at each other, it's more cerebral than action-oriented: it's about politics and power. But still, the better reason to watch the story is the arc for the leads characters becoming the first TARDIS team. There's also one of the Doctor's most iconic lines of dialogue, which I won't spoil, but if you watch the story you'll know it when it happens.

Keith Goodnight

Not about the episodes. but yeah, all the rain in California is crazy right now -- definitely worried about you guys! I mean, I'm across the country in Atlanta, but I have family out there. And I've definitely seen some people online saying that people in CA are 'over-reating', but I've been challenging them that it's actually very similar to when people make fun of the South 'over-reacting' when we get snow and ice (i.e. everything shuts down, when it wouldn't where they're at) -- it's all about infrastructure differences. Much like how we, in the South, don't have things like Salt Trucks (well, I think we have like 3 for the whole city!) or systems set into place for winter weather, places like California are not set up for lots of rain (like the roofs aren't made for it, the streets aren't made for it, etc). I still remember when my Grandmother was still alive in the 90s and was living near LA (South Gate) and it was raining A LOT one year (El Niño?) and she truly thought it was the 'End Times'. Like people were in a total panic with all the rain and flooding. It's just not 'normal' out there! So, yeah, definitely NOT an over-reation!

Nicole Mazza

I actually don't watch the other 3 episodes of Unearthly Child when I rewatch the show, because they're just really slow and boring. There's a huge drop in quality after episode 1.
