from January 1st I am watching one episode of Doctor Who every day for the next 2 and a half years!!!!!
Today was therefore the untransmitted pilot and then the first ever episode, first shown on the 23rd of November 1963.
viewing figures weren't great due to the assassination of President Kennedy the day before.
The episode was repeated before the 2nd episode the following Saturday and did much better.
"An Unearthly Child".
Two schoolteachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright follow home the mysterious pupil Susan Foreman to find she lives in a police box in a junkyard with her grandfather known only as 'The Doctor'. Barging in they find themselves in an impossibly large control room with a weird hexagonal console.
The Doctor and Susan explain this is the TARDIS, an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension In Space, confess to being aliens and the Doctor takes off, kidnapping the teachers out of spite.
They land on a rocky plain, where a shadow falls over the police box.
An intriguing first episode with good performances, particularly from the excellent William Hartnell, as the Doctor and the brilliant heartthrob William Russell, as Ian.
But where have they landed ?


on the wicked witch of the west? ;)

actually watched the wizard of oz yesterday, currently watching return to oz :)

some Scottish words for today, ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1451726930.860621.jpg

used as a collective terms for ones friends..

as a greeting; 'awright mukkas!'
(hello my friends, I am pleased to see you)

when planning a party; 'assemble the troops, get a cargo in then we'll hit the toon'
(I shall invite a group of friends for some alcoholic beverages at home before going out to a nightclub)

...usually followed up with a return to the house to finish off said 'cargo' and enevitabley results in one gentleman pacing back and forth in someones mums or wifes goonie (house coat, dressing gown, bath robe) looking for a nokia phone charger!
