Funny / An Adventure in Space and Time

• The attempt to put Hartnell's face in the title sequence is met with "Oh, Christ, no. That's terrifying."
• The first attempt at filming An Unearthly Child, thanks to the Troubled Production on display.
  • One of the actors playing the cavemen refuses to have his teeth blackened for the role, protesting that he had them whitened to go into television. Waris, the episode's director, comments that it doesn't matter either way because they only see the caveman's shadow in the first episode, only for another caveman actor to volunteer to have his teeth stained.
  • The doors of the TARDIS set are so heavy, a pair of stagehands struggle to keep them shut.
  • One of the cameras is in the wrong spot, forcing some technicians to attempt moving the very bulky camera in the middle of the take.
  • Eventually, the fire alarm and sprinklers suddenly go off on-set. The cast and crew flee in a panic... as the caveman from earlier wanders over and asks if he's on yet.
• "Check the fornicator!"
  • This actually happened.
• We get a creepy close up of the face of one of the original Cybermen . . . and then he starts smoking a cigarette and complaining that it's hot under his costume.
  • Then he notes that Hartnell is taking too long to get on set.
    Cyberman: Well, tell him to get his skates on. Some of us have got a bloody planet to invade.
• Verity is badgering Peter Brackacki, the designer, for a TARDIS set, who has been dragging his feet because she's female. When she finally wears him down, he complies and designs a TARDIS...in all of 30 seconds. Out of a reel of cotton, an ashtray, and a couple of sheets of hole punches, no less.
  • What makes it even better is that Verity uses it and makes it work, when Brackacki clearly meant for it to be a joke.
• Every time a child pretends to be a Dalek.
  • The Dalek costume worn by Hartnell's granddaughter, and when she tries to "exterminate" people.
    • Becomes a Brick Joke: when Bill is rehearsing lines in his living room, he mentions Susan, making his granddaughter curious as to who Susan is. When Bill mentions Susan is his granddaughter, his real granddaughter gets defensive, necessating an explanation that Susan was Bill's character's granddaughter. Come the scene where his real granddaughter is dressed as a Dalek, guess who is the only person that the granddaughter is shown trying to "Exterminate?" Carole Ann Ford, otherwise known as Susan (granted, there's no actual menace, but it is funnier considering the earlier scene).
• When asked by a young fan when the Daleks would return, Hartnell jokes that they're "taking over the world".
• While filming the "Daleks crossing Westminster Bridge" scene for The Dalek Invasion of Earth, an annoyed director tells off a Dalek for veering too close to the kerb. The operator of the Dalek in question moves the Dalek's eyestalk about and up to look right back at the director in kind while being talked to, and snaps back that he should try operating one and see how hard it is.
• During the filming of The Dalek Invasion of Earth, a Roboman extra asks Hartnell for advice on how to show the humanity of the part, only to be brushed of rudely by Hartnell due to his sadness at Carol Ann Ford leaving. Historically, Hartnell was severely injured on set due to being dropped by a Roboman extra, this exact Roboman extra! The implication here is that the extra either dropped Hartnell on purpose out of spite, or did it by genuine accident due to focusing too much on his own part.
