Birthdays
| Sydney Cecil Newman 1917, Canadian film and television producer, who played a pioneering role in British television drama from the late 1950s to the late 1960s. In 1963 he initiated the creation of the science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was Newman who created the idea of a time machine larger on the inside than the out and the character of the mysterious "Doctor", which remain at the heart of the programme. He is also believed to have come up with the title Doctor Who, although actor and director Hugh David later credited this to his friend Rex Tucker, the initial "caretaker producer" of the programme. |
