Having been listed in the Guinness World Record as the longest-running science-fiction television series in the world, Doctor Who has delighted fans for decades. So resident Surgeons of Horror alumni Saul Muerte and Antony Yee wanted to scrutinise and dissect the series where it would scare its audience and leaving them hiding behind the family couch. Horror itself has shaped and transformed across the years and Doctor Who is a prime example of how it balanced this genre with prime-time family viewing.

Joining our hosts and companions for the Hartnell era will be aficionados of the cult series, Flight Through Entirety's Nathan Bottomley and Brendan Jones. The first subject under the microscope is the most iconic villains that the series produced - The Daleks.
