User Review - 8/10 by Michael HThe very first story, and it still exists! This is what started a phenomenon. A character similar to a cross between James Bond and Sherlock Holmes starts off by whisking two humans back in time. The darkness seen in this story is evident in the acting and music used. There is a sense of wonder and magic in the Doctor's time traveling machine. Not as impressive as the serial that follows, yet still a satisfying beginning to an epic show.
User Review - 6/10 by Connor SThe Very Beginning Is Where I'm Starting For My New Series Of Classic Who. This 4-Part Adventure Is Based In 2 Different Time Zones, Episode 1 Is Completely Based In London 1963, The Last 3 Are On Earth, Year 0. 2 School Teachers Ian & Barbara Worry About 16 Year Old Student Susan. One Night They Decide To Follow Her Home, To A Junkyard & Come Across A Police Force, With A Mysterious Energy. Having Heard Susan's Voice While Arguing With The Doctor Out Side They Barge Their Way Into The Tardis. Finding Out That The Doctor Is Actually Susan's Grandfather And That Both Are Actual Aliens & Their Standing In Their Ship. Being Paranoid The Doctor Kidnaps The Two, And They Land In The Year 0. All Hijinks And Adventure Happens As They Try To Get Away From A Tribe Of Cavemen, Who Want To Know How To Make Fire. All In The Story Was Decent, But The Performance From William Hartnell Is Excellent.
User Review - 6/10 by Theta SFor my second review of my Doctor Who mini-series, I'm going all the way back to the beginning of the story. London, 1963. Two teachers have a teenaged girl in their class called Susan who is a mystery to them - she excels in history, is shockingly poor on contemporary information and has bizarre answers to some subjects. But when they attempt to seek answers behind her unusual behaviour, they encounter a junk yard, a Police Box with an unearthly vibration and a hostile old man... and what starts as a visit because of their concern becomes a lot more than they can even expect - and the beginning of a television series which has lasted for nearly fifty years. PLEASE DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS STORY OR YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANY OF THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO IT - SPOILERS ============================================================= Now, you're probably wondering why am I bothering reviewing a story that I consider a 60%? The reason for this is the first part of this four part story. It very much sets up the premise for the series which are tweaked and amended as time goes on. The Doctor is present, but his character is quite different to the character that a lot of people may be aware of. He is amoral - not caring for anybody's concerns other than that of his own and his grand-daughter. William Hartnell takes this role and makes him unpleasant enough to be the anti-hero, but not too unpleasant where the character becomes unlikeable. His companions are also different in style to what viewers come to know in the current version of the series. Firstly, his first companion is his own grand-daughter, Susan (portrayed by Carole-Ann Ford) is from his own civilisation and Ford shows a mixture of the nature of a teenager on the verge of becoming a woman and an alien nature which sets her apart from her school peers. The other two companions, school teachers Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill), are in effect kidnapped by the Doctor. Both Russell and Hill have to express not only the emotions of people who are taken against their will within the framework of a TV series which was transmitted on early evenings for a family audience, but also have to convey the disbelief that they have entered an advanced time and space travel machine in the shape of a London Police Box. Director Waris Hussain uses the opening episode to generate an sense of foreboding with a fog shrouded London to accompany the mystery behind Susan's character and that of the Doctor. It's a great opener to what is eventually to come which is why I'd give this episode alone 80 - 90%. However, the episodes immediately following this one of this story are forgettable as the time travellers are trapped on pre-historic Earth and are caught up in a power struggle between a group of cavemen who are trying to make fire. So I would only give these episodes approximately a 40 - 50% rating.
User Review - 6/10 by Callum BThe very first Doctor Who serial introduces us to two school teachers who are perplexed by Susan, a teenaged girl who attends their classes. Ian teaches natural sciences, and is amazed at the scarily vast knowledge of Susan, knowledge that seems to far exceed his own. History teacher Barbara on the other hand is struggling with the girl as she doesn't seem to know anything about her subject. The teachers follow their mysterious student to a junkyard, where they discover a lone police call box. They enter the box only to discover Susan's intimidating grandfather inside a futuristic control room that far exceeds the outer proportions of the box. The box is indeed a multidimensional craft known as a T.A.R.D.I.S, capable of travel through time and space. Susan and her grandfather are aliens living in London in order to study the human race. Fearful of discovery, Susan's grandfather- who calls himself simply The Doctor- hijacks Ian and Barbara and takes them to Earth's stone age, where a tribe is being torn apart by internal conflict which soon involves our protagonists. "The Unearthly Child" is a fairly unoriginal piece of writing. A straightforward time travel adventure that does a good job in presenting the main characters but does little else. As a Who serial it's not awful but a bit tedious. Still, you can detect the ambition of the writers already when you put the tale in the context of its times. It's raw, but already transforming into a series that has withstood time for half a century already, forever transforming and reinventing itself. It all started with a mediocre whimper, but soon shone as something uniquely innovative and enduring.
User Review - 6/10 by David WI really liked the first episode in the serial, but hated the other episodes with the cave-men ("The Cave of Skulls", "The Forest of Fear" and "The Firemaker". It was interesting however to watch the original version of the pilot.
User Review - 4/10 by Corey BThe first Doctor Who story starts out wonderfully with a fun first episode about how Susan, a student at a school, is far too intelligent for her own good. There's a fun mystery at play in the first episode, and even though you know The Doctor and the TARDIS are involved, it's neat to see how everything started! Then the actual adventure begins, and it's a long, dull snooze. The next three parts of the story have our motley crew encountering a tribe of cavemen who can't figure out how to make fire. The lack of a budget really hinders this episode as the characters spend most of their time in a cave. William Hartnell isn't particularly great as the Doctor. He comes across as just an angry, old man, and the series really falls on the shoulders of the companions. Susan is perhaps the most interesting as she turns out to be The Doctor's granddaughter. Having basically just seen the 2000s version of "Who" it's strange to see other Time Lords traveling with The Doctor. It's funny to see how many things were in place early on, but outside of a fun first episode, this is only for the most curious and diehard Doctor Who fans.
