 An Unearthly Child reflects the social and historical contexts of the 1960s because when the episode was aired in 1963 and England looked up to the USA and also at the time the space race was happening between Russia and the USA and at the time JFK got assassinated and at the time there was only 2 channels which were ITV  and BBC one
