Welcome
Some people find it easier to suspend their disbelief than others. Doctor Who has, of course, traditionally appealed to viewers with more vivid imaginations. In 1963, if you were the type that dismissed the idea of a time-travelling police box as “a bit far-fetched”, the chances are you wouldn’t have got much past the series’ first episode.
We’ve all met them. As a child it used to annoy me when know-it-all classmates (and even some grown-ups) would point out the occasions when you could see the strings in my beloved Thunderbirds, entirely overlooking the stunning special effects that were the real highlights of those shows.
