BBC: Exclusive Doctor Who Animation – The First Doctor Regenerates – Tenth Planet
Check out the BBC exclusive Doctor Who animation from The First Doctor Regenerates, Tenth Planet. With the threat of the Cybermen foiled, Polly and Ben find the Doctor has beaten them to the TARDIS and closed the doors. As they hammer on the door, the controls operate of their own accord and the central column begins to rise and fall….Those who are avid follows of BBC’s Doctor Who knows that the Doctor’s occasional regenerations are an important part to the show them, along with the character’s alien nature. In the final episode of season 3, the character fell to the floor of his ship, the TARDIS, and became another man in appearance. The process wasn’t given a name or explained as an integral part of his life-cycle until later, but it still became an important part of Doctor Who lore, which is why the disappearance of that episode reel over 30 years ago is such a blow to television history, and what has made it the second most sought after ‘lost’ television reel for the BBC – the first being their recording of the 1969 moon landing.
