On the 23rd November 1963 Gallifrey's most famous time traveller, the Doctor, began his wanderings in his first incarnation - William Hartnell - the anti-hero with a heart of gold. So began the Hartnell years - 1963-1966.

28 years later, the Doctor's seventh incarnation, Sylvester McCoy, takes us back through time, through previously unstransmitted or rare episodes.

For the first time... AN UNEARTHLY CHILD: Filmed on the 27th September 1963, the original untransmitted pilot episode. How it all really began...

Plus: THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE (Episode 3 of THE CRUSADE)

THE FINAL TEST (Final episode of THE CELESTIAL TOYMAKER) Originally transmitted in 1965 & 1966, these are all that remain of these classic adventures.
