Doctor Who--50th Anniversary Year

Welcome to the Doctor Who Store, where we're celebrating 50 years of the flagship BBC series. While the Doctor has regenerated many times in these years, the original Doctor was portrayed by the legendary actor William Hartnell. From the show’s start in 1963 through to 1966, Hartnell played the Doctor as an irascible old man in Edwardian dress. Initially accompanied by his granddaughter Susan (Carol Ann Ford) and her teachers Barbara (Jacqueline Hill) and Ian (William Russell), their adventures through time and space were intended to educate young viewers about history and science. The introduction of the Daleks in the second serial secured the show’s success, leading to it becoming one of the world’s longest-running science fiction series. You can shop for all of William Hartnell's adventures on DVD, or shop for more Doctor Who DVDs, Blu-ray, Classics, Toys, Bestsellers and Audiobooks.
