First adventures
Dr. Who had invented time travel in the form of Tardis, a space-time machine, the exterior of which looked like a police box.
When Barbara's boyfriend Ian Chesterton was visiting his house, he, Susan and Barbara went to have a look at Tardis. Ian accidentally pulled a lever and the four of them were transported to Skaro, the home planet of theDaleks, where they helped the Thals battle the Daleks.
Trying to return Tardis home, Dr. Who opened the doors to find a Roman legion marching towards the ship. (MOV: Dr. Who and the Daleks)
Further travels
Dr. Who, Susan, Louise and a police constable named Tom Campbell later travelled to London in 2150 and found that it had been devastated by a Dalek invasion years earlier. Once there, the four of them assisted in freeing Earth from Dalek occupation. (MOV: Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.)
Behind the Scenes
- Unlike the Doctor of the television series who, in common tradition, is more often identified as "the Doctor" rather than by the name "Doctor Who", the Cushing version is explicitly referenced by that name. The character's first name in this context is never revealed.
- Peter Cushing was offered the role of the Second Doctor, but turned it down. He later regretted this.
- Stanmark Productions Limited obtained a license to make a series of fifty-two half-hour radio dramas based upon Doctor Who. After Boris Karloff proved unavailable, Peter Cushing was hired to play the role. Advertisements were published, but only a pilot episode (now lost) was ever completed. It is not known whether Cushing portrays the film version of Dr. Who in this production, or a version of the character more in keeping with the television series.
