Doctor Who Vs. Adam Adamant Lives! Series 1 [Part 1]

June 1966 saw the debut of this

cult fantasy series on BBC1. The

show chronicled the adventures of

the eponymous hero (played by

Gerald Harper), an Edwardian

transported to the swinging

Sixties, having been frozen in ice

by his nemesis, the Face (Peter Duckrow). Adamant was joined

in his crime fighting by Georgina

Jones (Juliet Harmer).

Contemporary observers viewed
the programme makers as "what
Doctor Who did next" because
Sydney Newman, Verity 
Lambert, and Donald Cotton
all had input in the pilot episode,

A Vintage Year for Scoundrels,

and would be credited as co-creators. Adam Adamant Lives!

was actually the replacement for an intended adaptation of the Sexton Blake canon.
