As part of the BBC's blockbuster celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, David Bradley (the Harry Potter films) is set to play the first ever Doctor, the iconic William Hartnell, in the BBC Two drama, An Adventure In Space And Time.

It will tell the story of the genesis of Doctor Who - first aired on 23 November 1963 - and the many personalities involved.

The BBC's Head of Drama, Sydney Newman, credited with the creation of the show, will be portrayed by Brian Cox (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Identity) and the producer, Verity Lambert, by Call The Midwife star Jessica Raine.

The director of the first ever episode, 'An Unearthly Child', Waris Hussein, will be played by Sacha Dhawan (History Boys, Last Tango In Halifax).

Commenting on his role, David Bradley, said: "I'm absolutely thrilled. I first heard about this role from Mark [Gatiss] while watching the Diamond Jubilee flotilla from the roof of the National Theatre. When he asked if I would interested, I almost bit his hand off!

"Mark has written such a wonderful script not only about the birth of a cultural phenomenon, but a moment in television's history. William Hartnell was one of the finest character actors of our time and as a fan I want to make sure that I do him justice. I'm so looking forward to getting started."

The one-off 90-minute BBC Cymru Wales produced drama is written by Mark Gatiss, who will also act as executive producer alongside Steven Moffat and Caroline Skinner.

Mark Gatiss, executive producer and writer, said: "What a cast! I'm utterly delighted that everyone's favourite Time Lord will be in such brilliant and stellar company. We have a terrific team who can't wait to tell the fascinating and surprising story of how the Doctor began his journey through Space and Time."

Filming begins at the beginning of February at Television Centre before moving to Wimbledon Studios. It is produced by Matt Strevens (Misfits, Skins) and directed by Terry McDonough (Breaking Bad, The Street).

The CAMPAIGN

The Bill of Reproductive Rights is an effort by the Center for Reproductive Rights to deliver a thundering statement—backed by hundreds of thousands of signatures from concerned citizens like you—to the U.S. Congress and the President that they must guarantee and protect reproductive rights as fundamental human rights and stop the attacks by politicians who want to take those rights away.


Draw the line! Sign the Bill of Reproductive Rights!

Do you have farmers' markets in your area, and if so, do you like to shop there for fresh items? What's the best thing you've ever brought home from one?

The closest one for me is 40 miles away. I shop for a bunch of different items-food/drink, soaps, anything that interests me. The best stuff was probably some nice smelling soaps. The last time I was there was a little over 3 years ago. I went there to kill time before my cousin's wedding.

On average, how much sleep do you need per night to function at your best? How much do you actually get -- how often do you feel sleep deprived?

I need 7 and a half to 8, but I usually get 6 and a half to 7. Less than 6 and I feel exhausted.
