Doctor Who: Origins was a retrospective documentary looking at the ideas behind and initial creation of Doctor Who.
Main subject[[edit] | [edit source]]
With interlinking narration by Terry Molloy, Origins takes a look back on the creation of the UK's best-known science fiction show between 1962-63, with memories of the creation provided from those who worked on the show since its inception in 1963. The documentary also takes a look at the stories that didn't quite make it to the screen, how the sound effect of the TARDIS and the signature theme were created in the Radiophonic Workshop, how the famous titles were created and filming the first episode, "An Unearthly Child", with memories told from the cast, producer and directors.
