About this listen

Christopher Naylor reads the inside story of how the BBC created and launched Doctor Who.

In early 1963, a chain of events led to the creation of what would become one of the best-loved, and most successful, of all British television programmes. This is the tale of how Doctor Who embarked upon its epic journey - one which still continues today. It is also the story of the people involved, from Sydney Newman and Donald Wilson to Verity Lambert, Waris Hussein and William Hartnell.

Revealing how and why the original series was conceived, Pull To Open also details the way in which television drama was made in the early 1960s. It sheds light on the post-war era into which Doctor Who was born, placing it in the context of the BBC and Britain as they were at the time.

So begins an extraordinary saga that culminates in a date with destiny on Saturday 23 November 1963.

Reading produced by Morrison Ellis. Sound design by David Roocroft. Executive Producer: Michael Stevens
