Composer Edmund Butt’s excellent score to Mark Gatiss’s inspired retelling of the birth of Doctor Who.

“It’s a sea of fag smoke, tweed and sweaty men” – Verity Lambert, first producer of Doctor Who.

This special one-off drama that travels back to 1963 to see how 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. Allied with a team of unusual but brilliant people, they went on to create the longest running science fiction series ever made.
