No sure if anyone else watched "An Adventure in Space and Time" - I found it absolutely fascinating. No bugged eyed monsters, said Sydney Newman, but in only the fifth episode Verity Lambert brought forth the Daleks - hence the reason they're so fondly remembered by people of a certain age. And talking of age...
yup, saw it, thought it was interesting. I think a lot of good re-curing adversaries are fondly remembered (cyberman, the master...)
William Hartnell died in 1975, aged 67 - which means that when he took on the role of the first Doctor, Grandfather (the old man) was actually only 55 - that 3 years younger than I am today!
that is young
This is Dr Who - anything is possible; e.g. Richard Hurndall playing William Hartnell's role in
The Five Doctors.
but that is a new actor filling in for an actor that passed away
