48 years ago today...

Last weeks anniversary of the first Who episode, 48 years ago, reminded me of a little series I intended to run on this blog way back when I first set it up. On the 2009 anniversary I posted some clips from the Radio Times from that first Who episode, An Unerathly Child. Here, from the Radio Times 48 years ago today, is episode two, The Cave of Skulls.



Can you imagine watching an episode of Who these days and all you knew in advance was this! A far cry from the information overload we have in advance of episodes these days. Tune in next week for episode three...

Just for old times sake

And why not. Here's another YouTube clip, this time an official BBCWorldwide clip of the TARDIS taking off at the end of that first ever episode...

Happy Birthday to Who

Nearly forgot! Who, 48 years old today. Here's a great 'title sequences through the years' compilation, just for fun, with great bits of info provided via subtitles.



With thanks to the creator...

[Looking back I see i did forget last year! I was, however, living in part of the world without easy internet access, so I think it's a good enough excuse. Anyway, I did remember the year before, back when I'd just started these random postings, and did a little summary of early Who stuff here, so if you're in the mood for re-living that eventful day way back when (can you call it that even if you weren't alive yet first time round?|), then check it out.]
