David Bradley (born 17 April 1942[1] in Yorkshire, England) has several credits in and related to the DWU. Most notably, he portrayed William Hartnell, who played the First Doctor and originated the part of the Doctor, in the docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time.

He also reprised the role in Big Finish Productions' The First Doctor Adventures and in the Doctor Who: Lockdown! webcast Doctors Assemble!.
