'''"The Pilot Episode"''' is a name used to market the first recording of the individual episode, "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]". The term is not strictly accurate, as pilots did not exist in the British television industry in [[1963 (production)|1963]]. It is sometimes imprecisely called "the first episode of ''[[Doctor Who]]''", but this suggests a difference from "An Unearthly Child" which can't fairly be said to exist. It is merely a different version of the first episode of ''Doctor Who'', which was not broadcast because [[Sydney Newman]] thought it had too many technical flaws and misjudged characterisations. | '''"The Pilot Episode"''' is a name used to market the first recording of the individual episode, "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]".
