001: An Unearthly Child

• An Unearthly Child November 23, 1963
• The Cave of Skulls November 30, 1963
• The Forest of Fear December 7, 1963
• The Firemaker December 14, 1963

(First watched 2007-01-05, -06, -07, -08) As an introduction to the concept it does its job, especially the first episode.  However, the caveman struggles that dominate the last three are a bit blah.  The Doctor sure was a much more grumpy and truly inhuman man here than the character he's evolved into by 2006.  Knowing quite little detail about the early days of the series, I was a bit surprised to see the two school teachers dragged into the whole mess; I guess I'm most used to the "Doctor + female companion" group.  As a casting note, it seemed pretty obvious that the "15 year old" really wasn't.  By IMDB's reckoning she was 23 at the time.
