Doctor Who: The Sensorites starring the 1st Doctor, William Hartnell.
Orbiting a distant and mysterious world, where a human crew lie frozen somewhere between life and death. The planet is the Sense-Sphere, home of the Sensorites, beings of immense intelligence and power. Unable to leave, the Doctor and his companions must deduce the Sensorites’ intentions: are they friendly, hostile, or frightened? And what is the deadly secret at the heart of the Sense-Sphere?
Special Features include the outstanding documentary ‘Looking For Peter’ in which Toby Hadoke goes in search of the enigmatic Peter R Newman, writer of The Sensorites.
Peter R. Newman (born 1926. Died 1975) was a television screenwriter in the 1950s and 1960s. He wrote a television play Yesterday's Enemy which he later turned into a screenplay for Val Guest. The film version was released in 1959. He wrote The Sensorites for the first season of Doctor Who in 1963–64. This would be Newman's only contribution to Doctor Who, and indeed his last credit for British television. He passed away in 1975 after a tragic accident.
