Director Michael Ferguson pushed Doctor Who’s studio resources to their absolute limits. Through striking visuals, inventive camera tricks and meticulous technical planning, he made black-and-white Doctor Who look like nothing else on television.

In this video, I delve into Ferguson’s original camera scripts to uncover the hidden techniques behind one of the most visually ambitious Doctor Who serials of the 1960s, and explain why The Seeds of Death deserves far more recognition than it gets.
