THE FIRST 'ACTION DOCTOR'!


Always quick to action when his life is in danger, the Doctor is more than capable of looking after himself, even against an assassin, as seen in this memorable moment from the Dennis Spooner comedy/adventure gem, The Romans.

I always enjoyed Hartnell's so-called pacifist Doctor during his occasional violent moments- from knocking out a peasant overseer in The Reign of Terror, to zestfully duelling his evil Dalek-created double (and I say 'double' loosely!) in The Chase.

Back to The Romans, I'm looking forward to hearing the all-new voice cast adaptation of Donald Cotton's splendid original Target novelisation, coming out January 5th, 2023 on BBC Audiobooks, as part of their year-long epic Sixtieth Anniversary celebrations for Who.
