The Doctor presented here is William Hartnell, the granddaddy of them all (especially Susan), whose tenure set the standard and put it all in motion.  The Hartnell stories, though slow and ponderous by modern standards, still can thrill.  If only fans who had never seen the Daleks before seeing that certain sucker stick going at Barbara, then it would be easier to appreciate the effect they had not only on the program but on British pop-culture itself.

To refresh the William Hartnell era ran like this...   Enjoy the pix!
