To mark Ncuti Gatwa’s debut season, I decided to look back at each Doctor’s first adventure. In the first part of this two-part retrospective, I’ll be assessing the debut stories of the Classic Series (1963-89, 1996), covering each actor’s debut from William Hartnell’s first appearance in ‘An Unearthly Child’ to Paul McGann’s starring role in the 1996 TV movie.

An Unearthly Child - 01:42
The Power of the Daleks - 06:01
Spearhead from Space - 09:58
Robot - 13:12
Castrovalva - 16:13
The Twin Dilemma - 19:14
Time and the Rani - 24:20
Doctor Who - 29:13
Conclusion - 34:04
