Hello Dan. You’ve absolutely hit the nail on the head about the First Doctor - that he’s a very difficult Doctor to play. I’d even go so far as to say - having enjoyed (privately) doing impressions of (mainly) Pertwee and T Baker all my life - that the Hartnell Original is by far THE MOST difficult. And taking on this challenge was extremely daunting. Thankfully, many - if not all😉- fans have appreciated the work I’ve put into it. And I’m delighted that you’ve been, in your own words, ‘sold by Stephen Noonan as the First Doctor’. 🙂 Excellent review in general, Dan. It’s fascinating to have an insight into the genesis of the seminal televised story. And, as you say, this works very much on that level; not as a canonical prequel. All the best, Stephen 👌😁
Not listened to this audio but just generally I like to think of all extended media (unless specifically stated like the unbounds) as part of the main Doctor Who timeline.
Normally I do see everything as part of the same timeline, but with the lost story releases I see them as alternative. Mostly because if you laid everything out I don't like the idea that there are two serials that are very similar right next to each other on the timeline.

@@danjohnsonDW that doesn’t bother me. The old multi-Doctor adventure amnesia pretty much covers it.
Go Dan
