THE 1960s

Doctor Who was just one product of the BBC’s bid for increased relevance in a fast-moving decade.

SYDNEY NEWMAN

The Canadian producer who revitalised BBC drama in the early 1960s also played a key role in creating Doctor Who.

TO EDUCATE AND ENTERTAIN

Doctor Who is inextricably associated with the BBC, and its values. But what are those values, and where do we see them in the programme?

THE 1970s

A 60-YEAR JOURNEY

SHAUN SUTTON

The BBC’s longest-serving Head of Drama was involved in casting no less than three Doctors.

STAGE MANAGEMENT

Television Centre, where numerous episodes of Doctor Who were recorded, remains one of the most familiar BBC buildings – but it was only one of Doctor Who’s many homes.

THE 1980s

Business was booming for Doctor Who in the 1980s – with its 20th anniversary ushering in a new era of video sales, official conventions and even computer games.

JONATHAN POWELL

His changes to the Drama Department in the 1980s helped bring the BBC huge acclaim… but left Doctor Who high and dry.
