Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.

Doctor Who is the longest-running sci-fi fantasy series in the world. It was created at the BBC in 1963 by Sydney Newman and Donald Wilson, and launched by producer Verity Lambert, who was then 27 years old. Her team, under director Waris Hussein, recorded the first episode An Unearthly Child, by Anthony Coburn, first as a pilot in September 1963 and then again a few weeks later, for the launch transmission on 23rd November. Viewers were introduced to a mysterious elderly scientist, known only as the Doctor, who travels through time and space in a ship known as the TARDIS. He eventually turns out to be a benevolent alien from Gallifrey, the planet of the Time Lords, with the ability to transform or 'regenerate' his appearance 12 times. Over forty years, the Doctor has been played by ten different actors on TV, with others on film, stage, radio and audio media. The TV series was quickly identified with a startling theme tune, composed by Ron Grainer – who also wrote the music for Steptoe and Son, Tales of the Unexpected and Man In A Suitcase (alias TFI Friday)
