Welcome to the Beachfields Quarry in Surrey. It's the 2nd or 3rd of January 1973 and we are here filming the Doctor Who story; The Planet of the Daleks. Come the spring when the story transmits, this will be the planet Spiridon, just one more alien world to be subjugated by the tyranny of the Dalek forces.

Pretty sure that this was the first Doctor Who story I ever watched. I have very vivid memories of them all in the shaft with Daleks below, and the particular colour of purple cloaks. I already had the 1973 Annual, so I assume I got that before I'd ever seen Who...

DeleteFairly certain it's my propper full on first story as well and I have equally vivid memories of The Green Death which followed it.
