According to co-star Peter Purves in an interview, the original actor to play the Doctor, William Hartnell, would have been very upset the BBC thought he could be replaced in the part because he had become so attached to it. Nevertheless, Hartnell is sometimes said to have approved of the casting of Patrick Troughton as his replacement because he respected him as an actor, although the decision as to who would follow him was made by series producer Innes Lloyd without Hartnell's input. The actors met each other when filming "The Tenth Planet", and Troughton was so excited to be playing the new Doctor Who, but also admitted to Hartnell that he was scared stiff and Hartnell told Troughton that he will be fine. In the 2013 drama An Adventure in Space and Time (2013), based on real life events in the early years of the series, Hartnell is told by the Head of Drama Sydney Newman that Troughton is to succeed him.
