Happy Birthday William Hartnell!

Susan and the 1st Doctor
Just a quick post to celebrate the birthday of the man that started it all, the First Doctor - William Hartnell (8 January 1908 - 23 April 1975). Today would have been his 101st birthday. I wonder what he would think of the most recent incarnation of the show. Would he consider himself his own favorite Doctor? Personally, I think that he’d be amazed that there are soon to be ten more Doctors that came after him.
Mr. Hartnell, I can’t even begin to enumerate the sheer volume of thanks that you are owed. You were the first Doctor. You created one of the most beloved characters out there. All other versions of the Doctor have been built on the foundation that you laid down. Thank you.
