To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, BBC America will air a new series of specials, The Doctors Revisited. With one special a month, each of these will focus on a particular Doctor, from the start of the series right up to the present.
Kicking things off will be a look back at the First Doctor, played by William Hartnell. A man known more for playing tough guys, his creation of the role as an eccentric grandfather endeared him to an entire generation of kids.
The special starts Sunday, January 27 at 9 PM EST, followed by a complete Hartnell story from 1964, "The Aztecs". When the Doctor and his companions arrive in 15th Century Mexico, the Doctor is loathe to alter history, but when Barbara is mistaken for the reincarnation of a high priest, she dares to hope that she can abolish the practice of human sacrifice.
