The Doctor Who Appreciation Society has secured an agreement for a blue heritage plaque honouring William Hartnell to be placed at Ealing Studios in West London. William Hartnell was a respected film and television actor and often worked at Ealing

Before the plaque can be made DWAS needs to raise the funds to do so. In the past, fans have been very generous in their support for the Society’s heritage plaques for Verity Lambert at Riverside Studios in 2014 (due to reopen in 2019) and for Jon Pertwee at New Wimbledon Theatre in 2016. It is hope that fans will again come together to honour William Hartnell in the same way. In the coming weeks DWAS will announce a number of ways that people can join in – they plan that everyone who wants to take part in the fundraising will be able to do so without the need to part with large sums of cash.

Finally, every fan who helps DWAS raise funds will be able to enter a competition to win tickets to the unveiling which will take place in the company of friends, colleagues and family.

More news as we get it – “stay tuned”!
