The Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) has produced a half hour documentary following the installation of their William Hartnell heritage plaque at Ealing Studios  in October 2018.

The programme is available to view now at their YouTube channel, which can be reached here: https://www.youtube.com/dwasonline

The video features interviews with family and friends of William Hartnell, and also includes the Carney family unveiling the plaque itself. Other videos and interviews from past DWAS events are also available.

The funds for the plaque were raised by DWAS members and other fans. It is still possible to support the fundraising. Twenty mini-plaques were produced and three of these remain available. The last three have been signed by family, friends and colleagues of Hartnell who attended the unveiling. Each has a DWAS Certificate of Authenticity attached and the Society is now auctioning number 1 of 3 at their eBay site. Also available to buy rather than bid on are DWAS postcard sets and a limited reprint of Cosmic Masque issue 1, their original fan fiction magazine from 1977. The eBay site is at https://www.ebay.co.uk/sh/lst/active

The DWAS Plaque fund raises the money needed for the plaque, installation and ceremony. Any surplus funds raised will be donated to a charity chosen by the Carney family.
