William Hartnell was an intensely private man, and only a close relative could have unearthed the facts - and the archive of historic photographs - which reveal the details of his life. Jessica Carney has researched and recorded every aspect of her grandfather's the truth about his mysterious origins and lonely childhood; his glittering career as an actor, during which he worked with Robert Donat, Donald Wolfit, Robert Newton, Greer Garson, James Mason, Ralph Richardson, Will Hay, Rex Harrison, David Niven, Flora Robson, Jimmy Hanley, George Cole and Peter Sellers, among many others; and his last great role, as the Doctor in Doctor Who, which gained him a vast new following of young fans and laid the foundation for Britain's longest-running science fiction television series.
