A brief one tonight. Have just finished watching The Edge of Destruction, and will post on that interesting serial soon.
For now, some Hot-Off-The-Press news. As revealed in a previous post, the BBC has previously announced the lineup for the 50th anniversary year. This lineup included a 90 minute docudrama about the show's creation titled An Adventure in Time and Space, written by Doctor Who writer Mark Gatiss, due to be broadcast in the UK autumn (around the anniversary date in November presumably).
Filming is set to begin in February. Casting details have just been released.
In brief, David Bradley (Game of Thrones; Harry Potter) has been cast as William Hartnell. Bradley has also appeared in the most recent series of Doctor Who as Solomon in Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.
Other confirmed castings:
Brian Cox as BBC Head of Drama Sydney Newman:
Jessica Raine as Doctor Who's first producer Verity Lambert:
Sacha Dhawan as Waris Hussein, director of the first serial, An Unearthly Child:
All photos in this post have been taken from a Den of Geek! article about the casting announcements that you can read here.
Thanks for reading,
Nick.
