Doctor Who Regenerations Based on Bad LSD Trips
Previously unseen BBC memos have revealed the regeneration between actors in Doctor Who were based on bad LSD trips.
An internal memo from 1966 - revealed now by the BBC Archive - shows that producers felt the regeneration should be a "horrifying experience".
In the document which revealed the manner and appearance of the second Doctor Who, they went on to describe the metaphysical change which he would experience.
Describing the regeneration from William Hartnell to Patrick Troughton, they said: "He re-lives some of the most unendurable moments of his long life, including the galactic war.
"It is as if he had had the LSD drug and instead of experiencing the kicks, he has the hell and dank horror which can be its effect." -- this could also explain how they came up with some of the show's aliens.
