Doctor Who: Nothing At The End of The Lane (The First Pilot Story arc)- Before "An Unearthly Child"

When Doctor Who was in development for the series launch on TV, Sydney Newman acquired a pilot story, entitled Nothing At The End of The Lane, written by Cecil Edwin "Bunny" Webber- C.E Webber, whom he submitted the story as a singular story arc in May 1963. The story follows up with the plot centered around with a student named Biddy, entering inside a junkyard to meet with her unknown grandfather, as teachers Lola and Cliff were wondering for her disappearance while in the fog. As they found Biddy in the Junkyard, her grandfather introduces himself as 'Doctor Who?', takes them inside a time machine disguised as a Metropolitan Police telephone box, and leave Earth.

Both of Webber's storylines Nothing at the End of The Lane, and The Giants were both rejected in June of 1963, as Anthony Coburn wrote and accomplished his pilot story arc, An Unearthly Child, because Doctor Who creator Sydney Neman disliked the for being boring and not enough to being 'science fiction of interest' to viewers.
