| William Hartnell (Doctor Who 1) |
 |
|
The First Doctor was a sometimes cantankerous, sometimes benevolent, sometimes doddering grandfather figure. He was very much an enigma as well: in the early years of Doctor Who, practically nothing was known about the Doctor's past, and in true anti-heroic form, his actions often were selfishly motivated. Unlike his successors, the First Doctor was as reliant upon his companions as they were upon him -- usually it was Ian or Steven who saved the day. Nonetheless, the First Doctor possessed an aura of power and intelligence which was impossible to ignore.
William Hartnell played the Doctor from 100,000 BC in November 1963 to The Tenth Planet in October 1966. He also reprised the role in The Three Doctors in December 1972. Sadly, Hartnell passed away in 1975. Richard Hurndall replaced him as the First Doctor for The Five Doctors in November 1983; Hurndall himself died in 1984.
