5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure trove, 15 Mar 2012

I am a big fan of Jon Pertwee and never really know much about the first 2 doctors as there was little available even in the 1970s.

I am pleasantly surprised how good these early b&w episodes are. For one the acting and story's are magnificent. If only they find the missing episodes to complete these brilliant story's.

It is an absolute tragedy what the BBC did, I have read many reports why,who and when the BBC did with 1000s of TV and music films and audio tapes. It's one of the biggest acts of vandalism in entertainment history in my opinion.

Well on a positive note we have these 18 episodes from 1965 to 1969 all in black and white. So far my favorite is the William hartnell episodes, at times quite violent but with grit and excitement throughout. Very entertaining indeed.
