A Child's Shadow

Doctor Who An Unearthly Child Episodes 1 & 2 An Unearthly Child also referred to as 100,000 BC is the first serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was first broadcast on BBC TV in four weekly parts from 23 November to 14 December 1963.

Scripted by the Australian writer Anthony Coburn, the first episode starts in a junkyard in contemporary London and introduces the four characters who formed the core of the first year's production: the Doctor, schoolteachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, who are concerned about one of their pupils at Coal Hill School named Susan Foreman, who seems to have a very alien outlook on England. Ian and Barbara discover the Doctor and his time-space ship TARDIS in a junkyard in contemporary London. Fearing that Barbara and Ian will give away the secret of the TARDIS and make life impossible for him in London, the Doctor takes the machine to the Stone Age.

In the remaining three episodes, the four become involved in a brutal power struggle within a Stone Age tribe. In "The Cave of Skulls", the group encounters a Paleolithic tribe and are subsequently imprisoned by them in a large cave. In "The Forest of Fear", they are shown to escape from the settlement, but are subsequently intercepted before reaching the TARDIS. They barely escape with their lives by exploitation of Ian's knowledge of how to produce fire, which induces fear and respect in the primitive Stone Age society. The final episode, "The Firemaker", has the group mediating separate factions of the tribe before fleeing successfully to the TARDIS. They travel, seemingly at random, to a new destination. - Amnesia A Machine For Pigs OST A Child's Shadow
