AFTERBUZZ TV -- Doctor Who edition, is a weekly "after show" for fans of BBC's Doctor Who series. In this episode host Matt Lieberman recaps the episode in which in 1966, William Hartnell (David Bradley) is in his dressing room at the BBC. He insults a stagehand who calls him to the set, where the delay caused by his absence is noticed. Bradley enters in costume, ready to film his last moments as the Doctor and stands in front of the TARDIS console. First gazing at the ceiling, he lowers his head and closes his eyes. In 1963, BBC executive Sydney Newman (Brian Cox) is asked to create a show that will fill a gap between Grandstand and Juke Box Jury. He has an idea for a science-fiction series called Doctor Who and calls his colleague Verity Lambert (Jessica Raine) to tell her. She is hesitant to join, but changes her mind when Newman promotes her to producer. Lambert and director Waris Hussein (Sacha Dhawan), meet up with William Hartnell to discuss how they envision him as the lead character in the show. Despite some trepidation, Hartnell accepts the role. During a rehearsal, Hartnell is dissatisfied that the TARDIS lacks an interior set. Newman then compliments Hartnell's acting ability to save his producer from a troublesome conversation. However, Newman has misgivings about Lambert's handling of her job. This inspires Lambert to become more assertive and she forces the set designer to finally create the TARDIS interior. He does so effortlessly, impressing Lambert. The recording of the pilot episode is beset with difficulties; Newman dislikes the result and orders a re-shoot. Following this, he is finally contented and schedules a transmission date. After the broadcast of the first episode, Lambert and Hussein are nervous, as it occurs the day after the assassination of John F. Kennedy and its potential audience is diminished. Newman summons Lambert and tells her of Controller of BBC1 Donald Baverstock's request to cancel the show, but Lambert emphasises her belief in it and asks him to repeat the first episode before the second is screened. For the next serial, Newman expresses his concern about the Daleks, referring to them as "bug-eyed monsters", which he refused to allow on the show since its creation. However, Lambert eventually convinces him. Following the transmission of the first Dalek story, Lambert realises its popularity when she spots children impersonating the creatures' catchphrase, "Exterminate". Newman is pleased to tell her that the programme achieved a viewership of 10 million and continued production is now assured. As most of the original cast and crew (including Hussein and Lambert) gradually move on to other projects, Hartnell's health declines, which leads to him forget lines and require scenes to be re-shot — something the BBC can ill-afford. Hartnell meets with Newman and asks for a reduced workload, but the decision has already been taken to replace him. Hartnell has grown to embrace playing the Doctor and struggles with his emotional attachment to the character. However, he reluctantly accepts the situation. As he later informs his wife, Heather (Lesley Manville), of the news he breaks into tears and says, "I don't want to go." Before his final scene, Hartnell shares a brief exchange with his successor, Patrick Troughton (Reece Shearsmith). As the cameras are about to record, Hartnell looks across the main console. He sees Matt Smith, who will play the same role nearly 50 years later, and who silently acknowledges Hartnell's legacy.. There to help Matt is co-host Megan Salinas. It's Doctor Who's "An Adventure in Space and Time" podcast!
