''to be added''
== Main subject ==
A look back on archive footage telling the story of the actors who played [[the Doctor]] (up to [[Paul McGann]] in the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|1996 TV movie]]), with [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] and [[Fourteenth Doctor]] actor [[David Tennant]] recalling his memories watching ''[[Doctor Who]]''.


== Synopsis ==
== Additional topics covered ==
As part of the [[List of anniversaries|sixtieth anniversary celebrations]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', [[David Tennant]] time-travels back through the [[BBC]] archives to tell the story of [[the Doctor]]’s classic era, with a selection of rarely seen interviews and clips covering [[William Hartnell]]’s [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] right through to the [[seventh Doctor]], [[Sylvester McCoy]].
* The role of the Doctor's [[companion]]s
* [[Jon Pertwee]] is interviewed on ''[[Blue Peter]]'' about the [[Whomobile]]
* [[Terry Nation]] creating the [[Dalek]]s
* The addition of [[K9]] to the series
* The behind the scenes of [[Tom Baker]], [[Adrian Gibbs]], and [[Peter Davison]] filming the [[regeneration]] scene in ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]''
* [[BBC One]] [[Controller of BBC One|Controller]] [[Michael Grade]] pausing ''Doctor Who'' for 18 months
* [[Sylvester McCoy]]'s audition tape for the role of the [[Seventh Doctor]]


On the way, David compares some of his own experiences with the actors who came before him and shares special archive moments that reveal, amongst other things, how to film a [[regeneration]], which actor was a master of modern gadgetry - including a collapsible [[caravan]] - and what the factors were that helped to decide how a Doctor selects his own individual and distinctive costume.
== People interviewed ==
All interviews are from archive footage.
* [[William Hartnell]]
* [[Patrick Troughton]]
* [[Jon Pertwee]]
* [[Terry Nation]]
* [[Elisabeth Sladen]]
* [[Tom Baker]]
* [[John Leeson]] (in character as the voice of [[K9]])
* [[Peter Davison]]
* [[John Nathan-Turner]]
* [[Colin Baker]]
* [[Sylvester McCoy]]
* [[Paul McGann]]
 
== Notes ==
* The TV movie ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'' is erroneously dated to 1986.
* Though heavily obscured by the noises made by a Dalek prop following him, [[Alan Whicker]] appears to call the Dalek "a dodgem like this". The subtitles, however, use the word "project".
* First broadcast on [[1 November (releases)|1 November]] [[2023 (releases)|2023]], this documentary, along with ''[[Tales of the TARDIS]]'' and the TV version of ''[[Doctor Who @ 60: A Musical Celebration]]'', were the first productions to use the [[Whoniverse ident]].
