Doctor Who

Doctor Who is a British science fiction series. It debuted in 1963 with the first episode, An Unearthly Child, which has generally been regarded as a terrible decision by everyone. After the actor who played the Doctor fluffed one too many lines, the BBC decided that they weren't ready to let this abject crime against humanity die, and devised a devious plot to ensure that the show would go on forever, regenerating the Doctor by casting a new actor. Since then, every time an actor who played the Doctor has resigned, been fired, or gone clinically insane, the show has been able to continue with a new cast.

The TV run of Doctor Who is divided into two eras, the Classic Era and the Modern Era. These are also referred to as the Classic Series and the New Series. The Classic Series ran for twenty-six seasons spanning seven Doctors, and the New Series has been running for thirteen seasons spanning five Doctors. As well as the Doctor, the show has featured many characters that act as companions. These are usually young British women but sometimes the show diversifies the companions slightly by casting robot dogs, intergalactic criminals and Matt Lucas.

The Doctor travels around Time and Space in a ship called the TARDIS, which is bigger on the inside. The interior of the TARDIS changes its appearance, whilst the exterior retains the appearance of a blue 1960s Police Box. During their travels, the Doctor has encountered many enemies, including the Daleks, the Time Lords, the Cybermen, and Michael Grade.
