the culture show; me, you and doctor who
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03jnw7p
why has a kids tv show about an eccentric man with a box that can travel anywhere in time and space
become the bbc's longest running tv drama - and one of britain's biggest brands?
on its 50th anniversary, lifelong fan matthew sweet argues you ignore doctor who at your peril. it may
be a piece of children's television, but he believes it's one of the most important cultural artefacts of
modern britain. put simply, doctor who matters.
in this hour-long culture show special, bbc two's flagship arts programme explores with wit,
authority and affection, why doctor who has become entrenched in british life. matthew sweet traces
the 50 years of extraordinary social change and uncertainty that sent generations of children scuttling
behind the sofa. how did a pepper pot, the nazis and a sink plunger result in the scariest adversaries of
our time - the daleks?
sweet argues how in turn the show became a cultural force in its own right, influencing music, design
and storytelling - whether pioneering electronica (delia derbyshire), or giving the unknown douglas
adams a crucial break. matthew meets both famous faces as well as cast, crew and doctors past and
present (from current doctor matt smith to richard martin, the maverick director who first brought the
daleks to screens in 1964) to find out how doctor who has changed our culture.
