Panel Discussions from the BFI's An Unearthly Child Event

Hi All,

Just a brief follow up to an earlier post on this blog (BFI's Doctor Who at 50, posted on 21/01).

As mentioned in that post, as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, the British Film Institute (BFI) has launched Doctor Who at 50. Every month they’ll be holding a screening of a classic story - each month a different Doctor - and reuniting many luminaries from the world of Doctor Who.

The first screening, held on the 12th of January, was the very first serial, from 1963, "An Unearthly Child" (for my thoughts on this serial see Back to the beginning: An Unearthly Child). Guests at the screening included William Russell (Ian Chesterton), Carole Anne Ford (Susan), Jeremy Young (Kal), Waris Hussein (Director of An Unearthly Child), and Donald Tosh (Doctor Who script editor in 1965).

I have just found these videos of the delightful panel discussion that took place following the screenings and thought that they really were worth a share:








And here is a link to Patrick Mulkern's article about the event on the Radio Times' website again

Enjoy,

Nick.
