Season 2 - William Hartnell - The Time Meddler




The Time Meddler is a really fun episode featuring a time meddler who has disguised himself as a monk and taken up residence in a monastery on the English coast in 1066. From his settlement the Monk plans to change the course of historic events by lighting beacon fires on the coast to guide the Vikings to the shore.

This episode features Maureen O’Brien as Vicki and Peter Purves as Stephen Taylor who have a great chemistry on screen together. They spend much of the episode running around after William Hartnell’s Doctor who has gone off on his own.

William Hartnell’s classic performance is perfect as ever and this charming little episode is definitely one of our favourites so far. There is something that just feels right about William Hartnell’s episodes.

All in all a 4/5
