An Adventure in Space and Time Details, Airdate [UPDATE]

The BBC have released more details and poster art for the 50th Anniversary docudrama, An Adventure in Space and Time.

This special one-off drama travels back in time to 1963 to see how the beloved Doctor Who was first brought to the screen.

Actor William Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Wannabe producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry’s glass ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama, time travel and monsters!

Allied with a team of brilliant people, they went on to create the longest-running science fiction series ever, now celebrating its 50th anniversary.

UPDATE: The show will air in the UK on 21st November at 9pm on BBC2.

In Australia it will premiere Sunday 24 November at 8.45pm on ABC1.

UPDATE 2: BBC America will broadcast on Friday 22nd November at 9pm ET.
