 Doctor Who: The Big Review Season 1 (1963-64) Season 1 of Doctor Who introduced us to a figure that would be known worldwide - The Doctor. Nestled in a junkyard no more, The Doctor (William Hartnell) whisks Barbara (Jacqueline Hill), Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and his Granddaughter, Susan (Carole Ann Ford) into the stars. From Cavemen to the Daleks, they'll face them all. Here I will be reviewing each episode in Season 1. However, this review will not include ' Marco Polo' since none of the seven episodes are currently available and are still regarded as 'missing.'  First of all, I will grade each episode from A+ to F, the table below shows a concise list of the overall impression I'll want for each grade: For each serial, I will provide a list of the main cast (omitting a few who don't appear often), and a list of some key facts of the episodes, such as the writer and director. I will then offer a little synopsis and my overall verdict. My favourite ...

 Doctor Who: The Big Review During my downtime, I have made the decision to watch every episode of Doctor Who right from the beginning. From 1963, to 2020, there are 39 seasons/series for me to watch. The ratings I provide will be in the form of grades and will come directly after watching the episode. Sadly, some serials will not receive a rating as they're missing. I found it unfair to treat episodes that, for example, have two episodes missing or just audio available to the same standard as the rest. As a result, I will include them in the tables I create, but they will not be given a grade.  The following chart reveals the grading below: The above criteria is what I will use for every episode I review. In each post, I will cover a full season. I will provide a brief synopsis of each episode (only ones I grade), some facts and statistics, and then a verdict of each. After, I will highlight my favourite serial of the season/series with a paragraph providing more details on m...
