Peter Purves Remembers William Hartnell The First Doctor Who
About this episode
Peter Purves reflects on the life and career of William Hartnell, the first Doctor Who.
Hello everyone.. In another special podcast, I remember the real William Hartnell. The first Doctor Who : the original, you might say... Much has been written and said about Bill over the years, and now, perhaps, it is my turn. No holds barred. I only hope I do him justice. This proved to be a particularly rewarding pod to put together. One question I found myself reflecting upon was this: when did I first become aware of Bill’s work? And that is where my tale begins… Along the way we explore a complex man who, in many ways, was both unusual casting and absolutely perfect casting for Doctor Who. I do hope you enjoy this and I very much look forward to hearing your thoughts on these recollections of Bill the man, the actor… and my friend. My Patreons got to hear and give feedback early to join and get exclusive content too https://www.patreon.com/cw/PeterPurves?l=en-GB Adieu.
