Waris Hussein and Carole Ann Ford join us in the studio for this month's episode of The Whoniverse Show to celebrate the very beginnings of #DoctorWho! 💙 Legendary director Waris Hussein looks back on directing the first-ever episode in 1963, from his early meetings with Verity Lambert to the challenges of filming in Lime Grove. ✨ Carole Ann Ford (Susan Foreman) reunites with Waris to share memories of the original TARDIS set, working with William Hartnell, and the "outsider" spirit that created a phenomenon. 👀 We dive into the secrets of the 1960s production, including the making of 'An Unearthly Child', the atmospheric lost episode 'Marco Polo', and how the iconic TARDIS interior was built from "scraps." 🔄 Waris and Carole discuss the modern era, reflecting on Peter Capaldi's Doctor, Sasha Dhawan's portrayal of Waris in 'An Adventure in Space and Time', and what William Hartnell would think of the show today. 🎭 From the Weeping Angels to the eccentricities of the Doctor, the pair discuss the personality traits that make the character timeless and how the show’s mystery remains its greatest strength. 🎬 Waris designs his dream modern episode - find out which Doctor, companion, and historical setting he would choose for a new adventure in space and time! ❓ Plus, our guests answer questions from Russell T Davies, Joe Martin, and Mark Gatiss, and react to incredible fan art from the Whoniverse community.
