(mad scientists and all that jazz)
The BBC Archive has just put online some documents about the creation of Doctor Who.
Starting with an inquiry into whether the BBC should make Science Fiction dramas, the paper trail then starts to go through various configurations for a series, before settling on the ideas still in use today.
It's a fascinating look at how a drama evolves from first concepts (What are we trying to do?) to the creation of a series.

Thanks Piers- fascinating stuff.
Interesting to see how much remains the same (man in blue polive box travels through space and time) and also how much has changed (the timelord hasn't been a doddery old man since...well that bit where the Master made him old at the end of season 3, but you know what I mean)..
