   You should, that first story in 1963 was ground breaking in its   
   concepts, setting up the structure of the series that we all   
   know and love... and it introduced us to a character who would   
   go on to become one of the most iconic figures in British   
   television history. "An Unearthly Child" is basic, yet it's   
   effective in showing what "Doctor Who" would become about. Which   
   in turn evolved into the modern era of the show... which could   
   almost be a different show.   
      
   But, "An Unearthly Child" is where it all started, so it's   
   definitely something that a fan should watch at some stage...
