1963 Television and Cinema
The first DR Who was broadcast in 1963 by the BBC. The show was restrained by the BBC’s low-budget purse strings, the special effects didn’t drop anyone’s jaw. But no matter how underwhelming the show’s look, no matter who was playing the doctor, the eerie title music, the unique narratives and those patented cliffhanger endings drew sci-fi fans for years.
The big movies of the year had to be The Great Escape. But the all round cast of stars were involved in a chase accross America looking for lost treasure. Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World hit the cinemas at the end of 1963 and was a 3 hour movie that hit the box office.
Other movies included Jason and the Argonauts Taking over four months to animate the famous “swordsmen vs. skeleton” climax scene, but proving worth every second.
Don’t forget 1963 was the year of some big actors being born, including Mike Myers, Johnny Depp, Quentin Tarantino and of course Brad Pitt whom was born in 1963 in Oklahoma
