Just reading about William Hartnell’s early life and its so sad.
Hartnell’s career was stopped by the war, he was drafted into the tank corps but very quickly had a nervous breakdown and was invalided out after 15 months. ‘The strain was too much’, he said. ‘I spent 12 weeks in an army hospital and came out with a terrible stutter. The colonel said, “Better get back to the theatre, you’re no bloody good here.” ‘I had to start all over again, I was still only a spit and cough in the profession and now I had a stutter which scared the life out of me.’
—This is particularly upsetting when you think about how this must have effected him when he got his lines wrong, he’d have been so frustrated. He really was not a confident man. When he was grumpy it was probably because he was angry at himself.
I had no idea - how interesting. Thanks for posting this.
Verity Lambert being cool and David Whitaker being inscrutable.
One accidentally overhears Vicki saying nice things about him.
They discuss where they come from, and Vicki points out that Barbara is 550 years old.
One and Vicki bond. Who’s rescuing who?
More tough times for Vicki.
"I saw myself in the mirror; my whole face spattered with blood and hair… I wiped it off with Kleenex… I thought, no one really wants me there. Then one second later I thought, why did I wash the blood off? I should have left it there, let them see what they’ve done…"
