BBC Two has unveiled new images from its upcoming drama An Adventure in Space and Time.

The biopic - which charts the creation of Doctor Who in the early '60s - stars David Bradley as the show's original lead, William Hartnell.

An Adventure in Space and Time - written by Mark Gatiss - chronicles Hartnell's turbulent three-year tenure as the first Doctor.

Gatiss recently described Bradley as "a fine and delicate actor", adding that he had the Game of Thrones star "in mind for some years" to play Hartnell.

Call the Midwife's Jessica Raine also stars in the 90-minute drama as Verity Lambert, Doctor Who's first producer and a revolutionary figure within the BBC.

In the new images, Lambert can be seen meeting the show's first director Waris Hussein (Sacha Dhawan), lambasting stubborn TARDIS set designer Peter Brachacki (David Annen) and attending a Doctor Who cast photo-shoot.
