* The first broadcast on November 23 was rated 4.4 million. The subsequent planned rebroadcast, immediately before "The Cave of Skulls," drew a more respectable 6.0 million.
** The pilot exists in two parts - the first section includes all scenes in the school and at the junkyard; the second begins after a recording break and includes all the scenes set in the
TARDIS. The second section exists in three forms: Take One includes many technical faults (including the doors refusing to close), Take Two was quickly aborted, and Take Three again includes all material up to the end of the episode. Version 1 of the original pilot was broadcast in 1991 on BBC television using Take One of the second section. Version 2 utilizes Take Three and has never been broadcast, but was included on "The Hartnell Years". A nearly complete version of the pilot, containing all three takes has been released on the "Edge of Destruction/Original Pilot" video release.

At Coal Hill School, teachers Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill) and Ian Chesterton (William Russell) become intrigued by the strange behaviour of one of their pupils, Susan Foreman (Carole Ann Ford). Barbara has discovered that the girl's home address, 76 Totter's Lane, is the site of a junk yard. She persuades Ian to accompany her there after school one evening to see where Susan goes.
Ian and Barbara follow Susan through the junk yard gates, but once inside can find no sign of her. Their search is interrupted by the arrival of an old man (William Hartnell) dressed in Edwardian-style clothes. They grow suspicious, believing that he may have imprisoned Susan within a police box they have discovered in the yard, but he refuses their request to unlock it. They are just on the point of fetching a policeman when the doors open of their own accord and Susan calls out. The two teachers push their way past the old man and into the police box.
Inside, they find themselves in a huge, brightly-lit room control room. Susan explains that the old man is her grandfather, the Doctor, and that this is a time machine called TARDIS, standing for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Ian and Barbara try to persuade her that this she is fantasising, but she maintains that she and her grandfather were born in another
time and on another planet. The two teachers decide to leave, but find that the doors are now closed. The
Doctor explains that he is unwilling to let them go as they will inevitably tell others what they have discovered. Susan pleads with him to change his mind, but instead he activates the ship's controls and sends it on a journey through time.
The ship arrives in the Stone Age, where its four occupants encounter a tribe whose leader, Za (Derek Newark), is striving to rediscover the lost secret of fire. He is encouraged by the young woman Hur (Alethea Charlton) but mocked by Old Mother (Eileen Way), who believes that fire would bring only trouble. The elders, including Horg (Howard Lang), are growing impatient with Za and beginning to wonder if the newcomer Kal (Jeremy Young) might make a better leader.
Kal seizes the Doctor after seeing him light his pipe and takes him back to the tribe, demanding that he make fire. The Doctor, however, has dropped his matches in the skirmish and is unable to do so. The other travellers are also taken prisoner and all four are then placed in the Cave of Skulls - a cave full of skeletal remains, the skulls of which have been split wide open.
Ian eventually makes fire for Za by rubbing a stick against a stone to create friction, but Za - having killed Kal in a fight and confirmed his leadership of the tribe - insists that they remain prisoners in the Cave. Susan eventually devises a plan to scare the tribespeople by placing skulls on top of burning torches. While Za and his people are distracted by this gruesome sight, the travellers make good their escape. They reach the safety of the ship just before the angry tribe catch up with them, and the Doctor sends it on its way again. Synopsis from

故事介绍:
在Coal Hill School, 教师Barbara Wright(Jacqueline Hill饰)和Ian Chesterton(William Russel饰)对他们的一个学生Susan Foreman(Carole Ann Ford)的奇怪行为很好奇。Barbara找到了这个女孩儿的住址,Totter's Lane 76,在一个垃圾院子里。她说服Ian,在课后一起跟踪Susan。
Ian和Barbara跟着Susan走过垃圾院子的门,奇怪的是,里面并没有看到Susan。他们的搜寻活动被一个身穿爱德华七世式样的服装老头儿(William Hartnell)阻止了。他们对此产生了怀疑,他们认为Susan被关在院子里的一个警亭里,但是老头拒绝为他们开门。正当他们要去叫警察的时候,门开了,Susan的话音从里面传出来。两个老师立即冲过去进入警亭。
他们发现里面比外面大,是非常宽敞明亮的控制室。Susan解释说,那个老头儿是他的祖父,博士,这个时间机器名为Tardis,时间相对于空间的大小。Ian和Barbara试图说服Susan她被蒙蔽了,但是Susan强调,她是和她的祖父出生在另一个时间另一个星球。两个老师决定离开,但是发现们此时已经关了。博士解释说,他不想让他们离开,他们会不可避免的把这些告诉他人。Susan恳求博士改变主意,博士此时已经启动了飞船,带领他们穿越时空。
飞船到达石器时代,那里的四个人碰到一个部族的首领,Za(Derek Newark饰),他正在寻找失去火种。年轻女人Hur(Alethea Charlton饰)鼓动他,而老母亲(Eileen Way饰)嘲笑他,因为老母亲认为,火种会带来不详。长辈们,包括Horg(Howard Lang饰),越来越对Za不耐烦,开始考虑是否新人Kal(Jeremy Young饰)能成为更好首领。
Kal在发现博士点燃了烟管后,抓住了博士,把他带回山洞,要求他生火。博士在一场冲突中擦亮火柴,但是没有成功。而且他的人也被抓了起来。四个人被丢进头骨山洞——这个洞中到处都是骷髅,这些大都已经裂开。
Ian最终为了Za,依靠木棍摩擦石头而生成了火,但是Za在搏斗中已经杀了Kal,以确定其在部落中的领导地位,同时坚持继续把他们关在山洞里。Susan想出把头骨顶在火把上吓唬部族人的办法。当Za和他的人被这一可怕景象搞得惊慌失措的时候,四人抓住了逃跑机会。在愤怒的部族人员抓住他们之前,安全的到达飞船,博士再次开启了旅程。

The series debut. The first adventure with the Doctor; introduction of companions Barbara and Ian and the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan; the first trip back in time; the first mention of the acronym TARDIS. Originally titled
"100,000 B.C." by the production team; and
"The Tribe of Gum" on early scripts. The working titles of individual episodes were "The Fire-Maker" (two), "The Cave of Skulls" (three) and "The Dawn of Knowledge" (four). The Doctor returned twice to the Foreman junkyard: in "Attack of the Cybermen," where the TARDIS was able to temporarily change its shape, and "Remembrance of the Daleks," which featured the Seventh Doctor and Ace returning to the same time period as this pilot story; we find out what the Doctor was doing on Earth. I.M. Foreman is a character in the BBC novel "Interference". The original storylines for this serial were titled "Nothing at the End of the Lane" and then "The Giants" (a miniscules story that was eventually rewritten for Season 2's "Planet of Giants"). Another script, "The Living World," written by Alan Wakeman, was also considered. Susan says she made up the acronym TARDIS (from "Time and Relative Dimension in Space," although later it is referred to as "Dimensions" in the plural). The first episode was originally repeated just before the broadcast of the second story because of a power outage. Companion actress Jacqueline Hill (Barbara) eventually returned to play Lexa in "Meglos" for Tom Baker's final season; she passed away in the late 1990's. Several versions of the pilot exist (see above). For more in-depth information about the contents of this story, a complete episode-by-episode detailed breakdown can be found at the
Doctor Who Reference Guide.
Additional, more detailed information about the production of this story can be found at Shannon Patrick Sullivan's
A Brief History of Time (Travel).
故事相关:
此故事是该片的初次登场,博士的第一次冒险故事。介绍了博士的搭档Barbara和Ian以及博士的孙女Susan。第一次回到过去,第一次提及Tardis的缩写。最初制作小组定名为“公元前10万年”;而早期手稿中定名为“齿龈部落”。每一集的名字为“制火者”(二),“骷髅山洞”(三)和“The Dawn of Knowledge”(四)。
在“塞博人的进攻”中,博士回到这个之前的垃圾院子两次,那时,Tardis能够迅速的改变其外形。在“Remembarance of the Daleks”中,第7任博士和Ace回到过这个作为引子故事的时间段。我们可以发现,博士究竟在地球上做了些什么。
之前的人物描述在BBC小说“Interference”。最初这则故事命名为“Nothing at the End of the Lane”,然后为“The Giants”(者则故事最终在第二季中重写为“Planet of Giants”). 另有本手稿,“The Living World”,由Alan Wakeman创作,也曾被考虑过。
Susan说过,她想出了Tardis这个单词("Time and Relative Dimension in Space"这个单词的缩写,尽管之后,其中的Dimensions成为了复数).
第一集最初由于电力损耗在第二个故事前重播。
饰演搭档Barbara的演员Jacqueline Hill在Tome Baker的最后一季“Meglos”中回来客串了Lexa;她于90年代后期去世。
