Dematerialized

Doctor WhoAnother round of tape-wiping eliminates more of the recorded history of Doctor Who at the BBC. The instructions to erase the final remaining Hartnell-era episodes go out, as well as an order to get rid of much of Patrick Troughton’s era. Where previous episode wiping sprees may have been sparked by a looming change of video standards, these latest erasures are more likely the result of BBC1’s impending switch from black & white to color after the successful launch of color broadcasting on BBC2 in 1967. The BBC deems non-news-related black & white material commercially unviable with the advent of color TV just around the corner – a decision that Doctor Who fans (and the BBC’s home video department) will regret years later. While many of the Hartnell episodes are recoverable from foreign markets at a later date, much of the Troughton era is lost forever – mere weeks after initial broadcast.

Doctor Who: The War Games, Part 10

Doctor WhoThe 253rd episode of Doctor Who airs on the BBC. Jane Sherwin, David Savile and Philip Madoc guest star. The Time Lords make their earliest appearance in this story. This is Patrick Troughton’s final episode as the incumbent Doctor, the final Doctor Who episode of the 1960s, and the final episode made in black & white.

The following weekend, BBC1 gives Doctor Who’s Saturday evening time slot to the first British airing of an American science fiction series called Star Trek.

Introducing the third Doctor

Jon PertweeThe BBC announces that popular radio comedian Jon Pertwee will become Doctor Who‘s new star. With his penchant for character voices and other gags, the show’s producers – who will also be departing after the new Doctor’s installation – expect that Pertwee, and the series, will continue in a light-hearted vein with an increasingly comedic element. Though Pertwee’s first four-part story as the Doctor will reflect this thinking, the actor will actually take the role of the Doctor in a far more dramatic direction.

Doctor Who: The War Games, Part 9
