An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/Z2bGbqWeSeHQoumg8p8Gog==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Five different editions of this initial take on "Unearthly" have been made available to the public over the years, creating some ambiguity over what is meant by "the pilot". The actual plots of the two recordings of "Unearthly" are insignificantly different. Nevertheless, all of "the pilot"'s subsequent editions had obvious differences with "An Unearthly Child" as broadcast, especially in performances and technical recording flaws. Only a handful of lines of dialogue differ in the pilot and "Child", but they suggest things about the character and back story of the Doctor which would be hard to reconcile with the general characterisation which was later obtained. Consequently, it is not generally believed to be canonical by most fans.

abstract
  • Five different editions of this initial take on "Unearthly" have been made available to the public over the years, creating some ambiguity over what is meant by "the pilot". The actual plots of the two recordings of "Unearthly" are insignificantly different. Nevertheless, all of "the pilot"'s subsequent editions had obvious differences with "An Unearthly Child" as broadcast, especially in performances and technical recording flaws. Only a handful of lines of dialogue differ in the pilot and "Child", but they suggest things about the character and back story of the Doctor which would be hard to reconcile with the general characterisation which was later obtained. Consequently, it is not generally believed to be canonical by most fans. No edition of "the pilot" was broadcast until 1991 and fans could not easily compare the various editions of "the pilot" until multiple versions were released on a single DVD in 2006.
