FEATURE BY MARCUS HEARN
For fans of Star Trek, James Bond or any of the other great franchises, the facts are immutable – there has never been any doubt about the correct titles of episodes, books or films. Typically, the history of Doctor Who is more complicated. The first 25 stories, broadcast from 1963 to 1966, were comprised of individually named episodes, with no on-screen indication of their collective titles.
Identifying the correct names for these early serials would have been a valuable feature of the earliest reference books and magazines, but they instead sowed seeds of confusion that lasted decades. In 1972 the first edition of The Making of Doctor Who ducked the issue, while the Radio Times special published the following year included an episode guide that suggested each serial was named after its first episode. The first story was therefore referred to as An Unearthly Child, the second was The Dead Planet, the third was The Edge of Destruction and so on. These were just three examples of story titles that were never used by Doctor Who’s original production team, either before, during or after the making of those serials.
