Doctor Who Chronicles 1967, from the makers of Doctor Who Magazine, explores the year that proved the show
The latest issue of Doctor Who Chronicles is out this month from the makers of Doctor Who Magazine, looking at all the goings on both in front of and behind the camera in 1967. It was a year of huge change for the show. It met the challenge of changing its lead actor for the very first time. The dying months of the previous year had seen William Hartnell’s ‘renewal’ into the form of Patrick Troughton. Now the new Doctor cemented his new reign the First Doctor’s companions Polly and Ben (Anneke Wills and Michael Craze) departed, and new companions Jamie and Victoria (Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling) made their debuts.
The stories shifted focus too, with the year beginning with the final historical for decades. Meanwhile, troubled colony worlds and bases under siege became the norm. It’s also the year that introduced such monsters as the Ice Warriors and the Yeti, while the Daleks met their ‘final end’ and the Cybermen took position as the Second Doctor’s most iconic enemy.
