An Adventure in Space and Time (TV story)

An Adventure in Space and Time, released in 2013 in time for the programme's 50th anniversary, told the story of the creation of Doctor Who in 1963 in the form of a "docu-drama", a dramatic interpretation of real-world events.

Synopsis
Dramatised account of how Doctor Who was brought to the screen in 1963 by a young producer frustrated by TV's glass ceiling and an actor unhappy with a career of hard-man roles. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama. Allied with a team of unusual but brilliant people, they went on to create the longest running science fiction series ever made.
