It all seems like so long ago now, but when Patrick Troughton’s era of Doctor Who began on fireworks night 1966, nothing about the programme would ever seem quite the same again. The second Doctor’s arrival was a shock to the system, both as energised as he was whimsical, it didn’t take long for audiences to embrace him as one of the most beloved incarnations of the Time Lord.

As the sixtieth anniversary of Troughton’s début approaches, When I Say Run, Run! tells the story of what happened behind the scenes during his era of Doctor Who and tries to reflect not only the series itself, but also how the nature of television production was evolving around it. This was an era when Doctor Who’s production treadmill was a powerhouse of creativity, with a conveyor belt of monster designs battling against their greatest enemy – dwindling budgets and a growing sense of frustration amongst both the cast and crew.

When I Say Run, Run! takes you on a journey back through the past, when the scares were real and Saturday tea time was always time to hide behind the sofa.
