Quote of the Day: Doctor Who Description
A 1963 description of the first series of Doctor Who, as posted on the Doctor Who Tumblr:
A series of fantastic adventures, Dr Who [sic] starts from AKTV-2 on Friday. Dr Who has a "way-out" plot -- not only because it is space fiction -- and for background it has radiophonic title music, electronic camera effects, weird sets and costumes.
The mysterious Dr Who (William Hartnell) takes off from earth in his space-time ship Tardis with his teenage grand-daughter (Carole Ann Ford) and her two school teachers. They first stop in the Paleolithic age, and for four episodes the travelers are involved in a battle between two cavemen whose tribe has lost the secret for making fire.
The voyagers escape from one set of problems to find themselves with another -- the Daleks, who are mutant survivors of a neutron war on a distant planet, and can only exist encased in metal machines. More adventures follow for the Tardis four.
