I also liked the original Doctor, William Hartnell. Although I recently learned... well heard, that he was racist and anti-Semitic.
Anyone know about this? There's no mention of this on wikipedia, but of course that doesn't mean much. There's not that much out there, I can find a little bit mostly apparently from an interview

I suppose some may wonder "if it matters" what his/her personal beliefs were. To me it does. I'm not saying I'm going to never buy a Hartnell Dr. Who episode, but I want to know!
