    The horrifying series returns, this time with 60s Doctor
    Who. In this video, I take a look at the black and white era
    of Doctor Who, starring William Hartnell as the First Doctor
    and Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. The black and
    white picture has a way of making the early seasons of
    Doctor Who a little unsettling, especially for younger
    viewers, as the show is considered a family show.

    I think the most interesting thing about the first season or
    two is that the Doctor starts off as more of an anti-hero than
    a hero: cowardly and self-serving. Ian is the hero. But by the
    time Patrick Troughton takes over, the character has become
    pretty much the one we know today - though of course each
    incarnation has their own quirks.

    Yeah, all the Doctors have their quirks and their eras are
    all different in their own way. But watching the black and
    white episodes certainly give the show a different atmosphere.

    Watching the black and white stuff now can be like watching
    a different programme at times, especially the early William
    Hartnell historicals...
