How They Made ‘Doctor Who’ In The Early ’70s

There’s a scene in the film 28 Days Later when a confused Cillian Murphy is seen wandering around a deserted London, having just woken up in hospital, confused by the lack of people in what should be a bustling metropolis. It’s an idea taken from lots of classic science-fiction, most notably from John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids, which starts in a very similar fashion.

The difference is, The Day of the Triffids was written as a book. When you write a scene like that, and you know you have to film it,  in the middle of London, what do you do?

The Doctor Who production team were faced with exactly this dilemma in 1974, when they were making Invasion of the Dinosaurs. The story called for abandoned London streets, from which the Doctor and Sarah Jane would have to try and figure out exactly what was going on (although, let’s be honest, the title of the story is a dead giveaway).

Now, for the first time, some of that production team have been describing exactly how they managed it, as part of the DVD release of The UNIT Files, a compilation of Invasion of the Dinosaurs and the Tom Baker adventure The Android Invasion….

Anglophenia’s interview with Director of First-Ever ‘Doctor Who’ Episode

On November 23, 1963 (the day after the Kennedy assassination), the very first episode of Doctor Who premiered on the BBC. And the man behind the camera was Waris Hussein, then only 24 years old, completely unaware of the phenomenon the show would become and the legions of fans it would acquire. Well, here he is, with almost 50 years of hindsight, chatting with Anglophenia’s Jon Sarlin about the series’ origins as an educational program for children, casting William Hartnell as the Doctor (“he was very reluctant to accept this part…he was an established movie star”), and how the fan base has evolved over the years.
