The original pilot was plagued by technical disasters, strange creative decisions, falling TARDIS doors, lighting mistakes, and a much harsher First Doctor. Rather than broadcast it, the BBC made the unusual decision to remake the entire episode.
In this video we explore everything that changed between the unaired pilot and the version that launched one of television's longest-running series.
