Today we take our final trip in The TARDIS for NaPodPoMo. However, that trip is one of our favorite episodes of all time where we looked at the ten best AND worst Doctor Who stories as voted by fans for the show’s 50th anniversary. Since this episode (and list) are over 10 years old, there are no Capaldi or Whittaker stories.

If you’re a New Who fan looking for some great old-school stuff or vice versa, we hope you find some good material to look at here.

November 1963 – The first episode of Doctor Who aired, beginning the legacy of a sci-fi epic that is still going strong 56 years later.

However, many fans do not know that the first episode was not the one originally produced. The original version did not go well with producer Sydney Newman, so it was tweaked and refilmed into the version that was seen by 10 million viewers.

The First Doctor William Hartnell (1963-1966, 1973)

Geekville has spawned a monthly Doctor Who podcast called Examining The Doctor. Each month brings a look at a specific Doctor.

November 23rd, 1963: The BBC debuted a new children’s show called Doctor Who to a modest reception. However, the following months viewership would skyrocket with the debut of The Daleks. William Hartnell would portray The Doctor for three years, passing on the role to Patrick Troughton in 1966.

Hartnell reprised the role one last time for the 1973 story The Three Doctors. In 1983, actor Richard Hurndall portrayed The First Doctor for the 20th Anniversary story The Five Doctors.
