Trivia On Saturday, March 5, 2005 (three weeks before its television debut) a rough-cut version of Doctor Who: Rose (2005) was leaked onto the Internet by an unnamed employee of a third-party contractor to CBC in Canada. The person responsible had their employment immediately terminated. The version is mostly similar to the broadcast version, the most notable difference is that instead of using Murray Gold 's new version of the theme song, a remixed version of the original was used instead.

The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called " the Doctor. an extraterrestrial being, to all appearances human, from the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor explores the universe in a time-travelling space ship called the TARDIS. Its exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. Accompanied by a number of companions, the Doctor combats a variety of foes while working to save civilisations and help people in need. The show is a significant part of British popular culture, 2] 3] and elsewhere it has gained a cult following. It has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series. [4] The programme originally ran from 1963 to 1989. There was an unsuccessful attempt to revive regular production in 1996 with a backdoor pilot, in the form of a television film titled Doctor Who. The programme was relaunched in 2005, and since then has been produced in-house by BBC Wales in Cardiff. Doctor Who has also spawned numerous spin-offs, including comic books, films, novels, audio dramas, and the television series Torchwood (2006–2011) The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–2011) K-9 (2009–2010) and Class (2016) and has been the subject of many parodies and references in popular culture. Thirteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the show with the concept of regeneration into a new incarnation, a plot device in which a Time Lord "transforms" into a new body when the current one is too badly harmed to heal normally. Each actor's portrayal is unique, but all represent stages in the life of the same character, and together, they form a single lifetime with a single narrative. The time-travelling feature of the plot means that different incarnations of the Doctor occasionally meet. The Doctor is currently portrayed by Jodie Whittaker, who took on the role after Peter Capaldi 's exit in the 2017 Christmas special " Twice Upon a Time. Premise Doctor Who follows the adventures of the title character, a rogue Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who goes by the name " the Doctor. The Doctor fled Gallifrey in a stolen TARDIS ( Time and Relative Dimension in Space. a time machine that travels by materialising into and dematerialising out of the time vortex. The TARDIS has a vast interior but appears smaller on the outside, and is equipped with a "chameleon circuit" intended to make the machine take on the appearance of local objects as a disguise; due to a malfunction, the Doctor's TARDIS remains fixed as a blue British police box. Across time and space, the Doctor's many incarnations often find events that pique their curiosity and try to prevent evil forces from harming innocent people or changing history, using only ingenuity and minimal resources, such as the versatile sonic screwdriver. The Doctor rarely travels alone and often brings one or more companions to share these adventures. These companions are usually humans, owing to the Doctor's fascination with planet Earth, which also leads to frequent collaborations with the international military task force UNIT when the Earth is threatened. The Doctor is centuries old and, as a Time Lord, has the ability to regenerate in case of mortal damage to the body, taking on a new appearance and personality. The Doctor has gained numerous reoccurring enemies during their travels, including the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Master, another renegade Time Lord. History Doctor Who first appeared on BBC TV at 17:16:20 GMT on Saturday, 23 November 1963; this was eighty seconds later than the scheduled programme time, due to the assassination of John F. Kennedy the previous day. [5] 6] It was to be a regular weekly programme, each episode 25 minutes of transmission length. Discussions and plans for the programme had been in progress for a year. The head of drama Sydney Newman was mainly responsible for developing the programme, with the first format document for the series being written by Newman along with the head of the script department (later head of serials) Donald Wilson and staff writer C. Webber. Writer Anthony Coburn, story editor David Whitaker and initial producer Verity Lambert also heavily contributed to the development of the series. [7] note 1] The programme was originally intended to appeal to a family audience [8] as an educational programme using time travel as a means to explore scientific ideas and famous moments in history. On 31 July 1963, Whitaker commissioned Terry Nation to write a story under the title The Mutants. As originally written, the Daleks and Thals were the victims of an alien neutron bomb attack but Nation later dropped the aliens and made the Daleks the aggressors. When the script was presented to Newman and Wilson it was immediately rejected as the programme was not permitted to contain any " bug-eyed monsters. According to producer Verity Lambert; We didn't have a lot of choice — we only had the Dalek serial to go. We had a bit of a crisis of confidence because Donald [Wilson] was so adamant that we shouldn't make it. Had we had anything else ready we would have made that. Nation's script became the second Doctor Who serial – The Daleks (also known as The Mutants. The serial introduced the eponymous aliens that would become the series' most popular monsters, and was responsible for the BBC's first merchandising boom. [9] The BBC drama department's serials division produced the programme for 26 seasons, broadcast on BBC 1. Falling viewing numbers, a decline in the public perception of the show and a less-prominent transmission slot saw production suspended in 1989 by Jonathan Powell, controller of BBC 1. [10] Although it was effectively cancelled with the decision not to commission a planned 27th season, which would have been broadcast in 1990, the BBC repeatedly affirmed, over several years, that the series would return. [11] While in-house production had ceased, the BBC hoped to find an independent production company to relaunch the show. Philip Segal, a British expatriate who worked for Columbia Pictures ' television arm in the United States, had approached the BBC about such a venture as early as July 1989, while the 26th season was still in production. [11] Segal's negotiations eventually led to a Doctor Who television film, broadcast on the Fox Network in 1996 as an international co-production between Fox, Universal Pictures, the BBC and BBC Worldwide. Although the film was successful in the UK (with 9. 1 million viewers) it was less so in the United States and did not lead to a series. [11] Licensed media such as novels and audio plays provided new stories, but as a television programme Doctor Who remained dormant until 2003. In September of that year, 12] BBC Television announced the in-house production of a new series after several years of attempts by BBC Worldwide to find backing for a feature film version. The executive producers of the new incarnation of the series were writer Russell T Davies and BBC Cymru Wales head of drama Julie Gardner. Doctor Who finally returned with the episode "Rose" on BBC One on 26 March 2005. [13] There have since been ten further series in 2006–2008, 2010–2015 and 2017–2018, and Christmas Day specials every year since 2005. No full series was broadcast in 2009, 14] although four additional specials starring David Tennant were made. Davies left the show in 2010 after the end of series 4 and the David Tennant specials were completed. Steven Moffat, a writer under Davies was announced as Davies' successor along with Matt Smith as the new doctor. [15] In January 2016, Moffat announced that he would step down after the 2017 finale, to be replaced by Chris Chibnall in 2018. [16] The tenth series debuted in April 2017, with a Christmas special preceding it in 2016. [17] The 2005 version of Doctor Who is a direct plot continuation of the original 1963–1989 series [note 2] and the 1996 telefilm. This is similar to the 1988 continuation of Mission Impossible, 18] but differs from most other series relaunches which have either been reboots (for example, Battlestar Galactica [19] and Bionic Woman) or set in the same universe as the original but in a different time period and with different characters (for example, Star Trek: The Next Generation and spin-offs. The programme has been sold to many other countries worldwide (see Viewership. Public consciousness It has been claimed that the transmission of the first episode was delayed by ten minutes due to extended news coverage of the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy the previous day; in fact it went out after a delay of eighty seconds. [20] The BBC believed that many viewers had missed this introduction to a new series due to the coverage of the assassination, as well as a series of power blackouts across the country, and they broadcast it again on 30 November 1963, just before episode two. [21] 22] The programme soon became a national institution in the United Kingdom, with a large following among the general viewing audience. [23] 24] Many renowned actors asked for or were offered guest-starring roles in various stories. [25] 26] 27] 28] With popularity came controversy over the show's suitability for children. Morality campaigner Mary Whitehouse repeatedly complained to the BBC in the 1970s over what she saw as the show's frightening and gory content. John Nathan-Turner produced the series during the 1980s and was heard to say that he looked forward to Whitehouse's comments, as the show's ratings would increase soon after she had made them. [29] The phrase " Hiding behind (or 'watching from behind' the sofa " entered British pop culture, signifying in humour the stereotypical early-series behaviour of children who wanted to avoid seeing frightening parts of a television programme while remaining in the room to watch the remainder of it. [30] The phrase retains this association with Doctor Who, to the point that in 1991 the Museum of the Moving Image in London named their exhibition celebrating the programme "Behind the Sofa. The electronic theme music too was perceived as eerie, novel, and frightening, at the time. A 2012 article placed this childhood juxtaposition of fear and thrill "at the center of many people's relationship with the show. 31] and a 2011 online vote at Digital Spy deemed the series the "scariest TV show of all time. 32] During Jon Pertwee 's second series as the Doctor, in the serial Terror of the Autons (1971) images of murderous plastic dolls, daffodils killing unsuspecting victims, and blank-featured policemen marked the apex of the show's ability to frighten children. [33] Other notable moments in that decade include a disembodied brain falling to the floor in The Brain of Morbius [34] and the Doctor apparently being drowned by a villain in The Deadly Assassin (both 1976. 35] The TARDIS prop used from 2010–2017. A BBC audience research survey conducted in 1972 found that, by their own definition of violence ( any act[s] which may cause physical and/or psychological injury, hurt or death to persons, animals or property, whether intentional or accidental" Doctor Who was the most violent of the drama programmes the corporation produced at the time. [36] The same report found that 3% of the surveyed audience regarded the show as "very unsuitable" for family viewing. [37] Responding to the findings of the survey in The Times newspaper, journalist Philip Howard maintained that, to compare the violence of Dr Who, sired by a horse-laugh out of a nightmare, with the more realistic violence of other television series, where actors who look like human beings bleed paint that looks like blood, is like comparing Monopoly with the property market in London: both are fantasies, but one is meant to be taken seriously. 36] The image of the TARDIS has become firmly linked to the show in the public's consciousness; BBC scriptwriter Anthony Coburn, who lived in the resort of Herne Bay, Kent, was one of the people who conceived the idea of a police box as a time machine. [38] In 1996, the BBC applied for a trade mark to use the TARDIS' blue police box design in merchandising associated with Doctor Who. [39] In 1998, the Metropolitan Police Authority filed an objection to the trade mark claim; but in 2002, the Patent Office ruled in favour of the BBC. [40] The programme's broad appeal attracts audiences of children and families as well as science fiction fans. [41] The 21st century revival of the programme has become the centrepiece of BBC One's Saturday schedule, and has "defined the channel. 42] Since its return, Doctor Who has consistently received high ratings, both in number of viewers and as measured by the Appreciation Index. [43] In 2007, Caitlin Moran, television reviewer for The Times, wrote that Doctor Who is "quintessential to being British. 3] Director Steven Spielberg has commented that "the world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who. 44] On 4 August 2013, a live programme titled Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor [45] was broadcast on BBC One, during which the actor who was going to play the Twelfth Doctor was revealed. [46] The live show was watched by an average of 6. 27 million in the UK, and was also simulcast in the United States, Canada and Australia. [47] 48] Episodes Doctor Who originally ran for 26 seasons on BBC One, from 23 November 1963 until 6 December 1989. During the original run, each weekly episode formed part of a story (or "serial"  — usually of four to six parts in earlier years and three to four in later years. Some notable exceptions were: The Daleks' Master Plan, which aired twelve episodes (plus an earlier one-episode teaser, 49. Mission to the Unknown. featuring none of the regular cast [50. almost an entire season of seven-episode serials (season 7) the ten-episode serial The War Games; 51] and The Trial of a Time Lord, which ran for fourteen episodes (albeit divided into three production codes and four narrative segments) during season 23. [52] Occasionally serials were loosely connected by a story-line, such as season 8 focusing on the Doctor battling a rogue Time Lord called the Master, 53] 54] season 16 's quest for the Key to Time, 55] season 18 's journey through E-Space and the theme of entropy, 56] and season 20 's Black Guardian trilogy. [57] The programme was intended to be educational and for family viewing on the early Saturday evening schedule. [58] It initially alternated stories set in the past, which taught younger audience members about history, and with those in the future or outer space, focusing on science. [58] This was also reflected in the Doctor's original companions, one of whom was a science teacher and another a history teacher. [58] However, science fiction stories came to dominate the programme, and the history-orientated episodes, which were not popular with the production team, 58] were dropped after The Highlanders (1967. While the show continued to use historical settings, they were generally used as a backdrop for science fiction tales, with one exception: Black Orchid (1982) set in 1920s England. [59] The early stories were serialised in nature, with the narrative of one story flowing into the next, and each episode having its own title, although produced as distinct stories with their own production codes. [60] Following The Gunfighters (1966) however, each serial was given its own title, and the individual parts were simply assigned episode numbers. [60] Of the programme's many writers, Robert Holmes was the most prolific, 61] while Douglas Adams became the most well known outside Doctor Who itself, due to the popularity of his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy works. [62] 63] The serial format changed for the 2005 revival, with a series usually consisting of thirteen 45-minute, self-contained episodes (60 minutes with adverts, on overseas commercial channels) and an extended 60-minute episode broadcast on Christmas Day. This system was shortened to twelve episodes and one Christmas special following the revival's eighth series, and ten episodes from the eleventh series. Each series includes both standalone and multiple episodic stories, linked with a loose story arc that is resolved in the series finale. As in the early "classic" era, each episode, whether standalone or part of a larger story, has its own title. Occasionally, regular-series episodes will exceed the 45-minute run time; notably, the episodes " Journey's End " from 2008 and " The Eleventh Hour " from 2010 exceeded an hour in length. 858 Doctor Who instalments have been televised since 1963, ranging between 25-minute episodes (the most common format for the classic era) 45/50-minute episodes (for Resurrection of the Daleks in the 1984 series, a single season in 1985, and the most common format for the revival era since 2005) two feature-length productions (1983's The Five Doctors and the 1996 television film) twelve Christmas specials (most of 60 minutes' duration, one of 72 minutes) and four additional specials ranging from 60 to 75 minutes in 2009, 2010 and 2013. Four mini-episodes, running about eight minutes each, were also produced for the 1993, 2005 and 2007 Children in Need charity appeals, while another mini-episode was produced in 2008 for a Doctor Who -themed edition of The Proms. The 1993 2-part story, entitled Dimensions in Time, was made in collaboration with the cast of the BBC soap-opera EastEnders and was filmed partly on the EastEnders set. A two-part mini-episode was also produced for the 2011 edition of Comic Relief. Starting with the 2009 special " Planet of the Dead. the series was filmed in 1080i for HDTV, 64] and broadcast simultaneously on BBC One and BBC HD. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show, a special 3D episode. The Day of the Doctor. was broadcast in 2013. [65] In March 2013, it was announced that Tennant and Piper would be returning, 66] and that the episode would have a limited cinematic release worldwide. [67] In April 2015, Steven Moffat confirmed that Doctor Who would run for at least another five years, extending the show until 2020. [68] In June 2017, it was announced that due to the terms of a deal between BBC Worldwide and SMG Pictures in China, the company has first right of refusal on the purchase for the Chinese market of future series of the programme until and including Series 15. [69] 70] Missing episodes Between about 1967 and 1978, large amounts of older material stored in the BBC's various video tape and film libraries were either destroyed, note 3] wiped, or suffered from poor storage which led to severe deterioration from broadcast quality. This included many old episodes of Doctor Who, mostly stories featuring the first two Doctors: William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton. In all, 97 of 253 episodes produced during the first six years of the programme are not held in the BBC's archives (most notably seasons 3, 4, 5, from which 79 episodes are missing. In 1972, almost all episodes then made were known to exist at the BBC, 71] while by 1978 the practice of wiping tapes and destroying "spare" film copies had been brought to a stop. [72] No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers) though some were transferred to film for editing before transmission, and exist in their broadcast form. [73] Some episodes have been returned to the BBC from the archives of other countries who bought prints for broadcast, or by private individuals who acquired them by various means. Early colour videotape recordings made off-air by fans have also been retrieved, as well as excerpts filmed from the television screen onto 8 mm cine film and clips that were shown on other programmes. Audio versions of all of the lost episodes exist from home viewers who made tape recordings of the show. Short clips from every story with the exception of Marco Polo (1964. Mission to the Unknown. 1965) and The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve (1966) also exist. In addition to these, there are off-screen photographs made by photographer John Cura, who was hired by various production personnel to document many of their programmes during the 1950s and 1960s, including Doctor Who. These have been used in fan reconstructions of the serials. These amateur reconstructions have been tolerated by the BBC, provided they are not sold for profit and are distributed as low-quality copies. [74] One of the most sought-after lost episodes is part four of the last William Hartnell serial, The Tenth Planet (1966) which ends with the First Doctor transforming into the Second. The only portion of this in existence, barring a few poor-quality silent 8 mm clips, is the few seconds of the regeneration scene, as it was shown on the children's magazine show Blue Peter. [75] With the approval of the BBC, efforts are now under way to restore as many of the episodes as possible from the extant material. "Official" reconstructions have also been released by the BBC on VHS, on MP3 CD-ROM, and as special features on DVD. The BBC, in conjunction with animation studio Cosgrove Hall, reconstructed the missing episodes 1 and 4 of The Invasion (1968) using remastered audio tracks and the comprehensive stage notes for the original filming, for the serial's DVD release in November 2006. The missing episodes of The Reign of Terror were animated by animation company Theta-Sigma, in collaboration with Big Finish, and became available for purchase in May 2013 through [76] Subsequent animations made in 2013 include The Tenth Planet, The Ice Warriors (1967) and The Moonbase (1967. In April 2006, Blue Peter launched a challenge to find missing Doctor Who episodes with the promise of a full-scale Dalek model as a reward. [77] In December 2011, it was announced that part 3 of Galaxy 4 (1965) and part 2 of The Underwater Menace (1967) had been returned to the BBC by a fan who had purchased them in the mid-1980s without realising that the BBC did not hold copies of them. [78] On 10 October 2013, the BBC announced that films of eleven episodes, including nine missing episodes, had been found in a Nigerian television relay station in Jos. [79] Six of the eleven films discovered were the six-part serial The Enemy of the World (1968) from which all but the third episode had been missing. [80] The remaining films were from another six-part serial, The Web of Fear (1968) and included the previously missing episodes 2, 4, 5, and 6. Episode 3 of The Web of Fear is still missing. [81] Characters The Doctor The Doctor portrayed by series leads in chronological order. Left to right from top row; William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker. The Doctor was initially shrouded in mystery. In the programme's early days, the character was an eccentric alien traveller of great intelligence who battled injustice while exploring time and space in an unreliable time machine, the " TARDIS. an acronym for Time and Relative Dimension in Space) which notably appears much larger on the inside than on the outside (a quality referred to as "dimensional transcendentality. note 4] 82] The initially irascible and slightly sinister Doctor quickly mellowed into a more compassionate figure and was eventually revealed to be a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, which the Doctor fled by stealing the TARDIS. Changes of appearance Producers introduced the concept of regeneration to permit the recasting of the main character. This was prompted by the poor health of the original star, William Hartnell. The term "regeneration" was not conceived until the Doctor's third on-screen regeneration; Hartnell's Doctor merely described undergoing a "renewal" and the Second Doctor underwent a "change of appearance. 83] 84] The device has allowed for the recasting of the actor various times in the show's history, as well as the depiction of alternative Doctors either from the Doctor's relative past or future. [85] The serials The Deadly Assassin (1976) and Mawdryn Undead (1983) established that a Time Lord can only regenerate 12 times, for a total of 13 incarnations. This line became stuck in the public consciousness despite not often being repeated, and was recognised by producers of the show as a plot obstacle for when the show finally had to regenerate the Doctor a thirteenth time. [86] 87] The episode " The Time of the Doctor. 2013) depicted the Doctor acquiring a new cycle of regenerations, starting from the Twelfth Doctor, due to the Eleventh Doctor being the product of the Doctor's twelfth regeneration from his original set. [88] 89] Although the idea of casting a woman as the Doctor had been suggested by the show's writers several times, including by Newman in 1986 and Davies in 2008, until 2017, all official depictions were played by men. [90] 91] Jodie Whittaker took over the role as the Thirteenth Doctor at the end of the 2017 Christmas special, and is the first woman to be cast as the character. Whittaker had previously starred in television series such as Return to Cranford, Broadchurch alongside David Tennant ( Tenth Doctor) and the dystopian anthology Black Mirror. [92] The show introduced the Time Lords' ability to change gender on regeneration in earlier episodes, first in dialogue, then with Michelle Gomez 's version of The Master.

Notably, in 2013, John Hurt guest-starred as a hitherto unknown incarnation of the Doctor known as the War Doctor in the run-up to the show's 50th anniversary special " The Day of the Doctor. 93] He is shown in mini-episode " The Night of the Doctor " retroactively inserted into the show's fictional chronology between McGann and Eccleston's Doctors, although his introduction was written so as not to disturb the established numerical naming of the Doctors. [94] Another example is from the 1986 serial The Trial of a Time Lord, where Michael Jayston portrayed the Valeyard, who is described as an amalgamation of the darker sides of the Doctor's nature, somewhere between the twelfth and final incarnation. On rare occasions, other actors have stood in for the lead. In The Five Doctors, Richard Hurndall played the First Doctor due to William Hartnell's death in 1975; 34 years later David Bradley similarly replaced Hartnell in Twice Upon a Time. In Time and the Rani, Sylvester McCoy briefly played the Sixth Doctor during the regeneration sequence, carrying on as the Seventh. For more information, see the list of actors who have played the Doctor. In other media, the Doctor has been played by various other actors, including Peter Cushing in two films. The casting of a new Doctor has often inspired debate and speculation. Common topics of focus include the Doctor's gender (prior to the casting of Whittaker, all official incarnations were male) race (all Doctors were white prior to the casting of Jo Martin in " Fugitive of the Judoon. and age (the youngest actor to be cast is Smith at 26, and the oldest are Capaldi and Hartnell, both 55. 95] 96] 97] Meetings of different incarnations There have been instances of actors returning at later dates to reprise the role of their specific Doctor. In 1973's The Three Doctors, William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton returned alongside Jon Pertwee. For 1983's The Five Doctors, Troughton and Pertwee returned to star with Peter Davison, and Tom Baker appeared in previously unseen footage from the uncompleted Shada serial. For this episode, Richard Hurndall replaced William Hartnell. Patrick Troughton again returned in 1985's The Two Doctors with Colin Baker. In 2007, Peter Davison returned in the Children in Need short " Time Crash " alongside David Tennant. In " The Name of the Doctor. 2013) the Eleventh Doctor meets a previously unseen incarnation of himself, subsequently revealed to be the War Doctor. [93] In the following episode. The Day of the Doctor. David Tennant's Tenth Doctor appeared alongside Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and John Hurt as the War Doctor, as well as brief footage from all of the previous actors. [98] Additionally, multiple incarnations of the Doctor have met in various audio dramas and novels based on the television show. In 2017, the First Doctor (this time portrayed by David Bradley) returned alongside Peter Capaldi in " The Doctor Falls " and " Twice Upon a Time. Revelations about the Doctor Throughout the programme's long history, there have been revelations about the Doctor that have raised additional questions. In The Brain of Morbius (1976) it was hinted that the First Doctor might not have been the first incarnation (although the other faces depicted might have been incarnations of the Time Lord Morbius. In subsequent stories the First Doctor was depicted as the earliest incarnation of the Doctor. In Mawdryn Undead (1983) the Fifth Doctor explicitly confirmed that he was then currently in his fifth incarnation. Later that same year, during 1983's 20th Anniversary special The Five Doctors, the First Doctor enquires as to the Fifth Doctor's regeneration; when the Fifth Doctor confirms "Fourth" the First Doctor excitedly replies "Goodness me. So there are five of me now. In 2010, the Eleventh Doctor similarly calls himself "the Eleventh" in " The Lodger. In the 2013 episode "The Time of the Doctor. the Eleventh Doctor clarified he was the product of the twelfth regeneration, due to a previous incarnation which he chose not to count and one other aborted regeneration. The name Eleventh is still used for this incarnation; the same episode depicts the prophesied "Fall of the Eleventh" which had been trailed throughout the series. During the Seventh Doctor's era, it was hinted that the Doctor was more than just an ordinary Time Lord. In the 1996 television film, the Eighth Doctor describes himself as being "half human. 99] The BBC's FAQ for the programme notes that "purists tend to disregard this. 100] instead focusing on his Gallifreyan heritage. The programme's first serial, An Unearthly Child, shows that the Doctor has a granddaughter, Susan Foreman. In the 1967 serial, Tomb of the Cybermen, when Victoria Waterfield doubts the Doctor can remember his family because of, being so ancient" the Doctor says that he can when he really wants to—"The rest of the time they sleep in my mind. The 2005 series reveals that the Ninth Doctor thought he was the last surviving Time Lord, and that his home planet had been destroyed; in " The Empty Child. 2005) Dr. Constantine states that, Before the war even began, I was a father and a grandfather. Now I am neither. The Doctor remarks in response, Yeah, I know the feeling. In " Smith and Jones. 2007) when asked if he had a brother, he replied, No, not any more. In both " Fear Her. 2006) and " The Doctor's Daughter. 2008) he states that he had, in the past, been a father. In " The Wedding of River Song. 2011) it is implied that the Doctor's true name is a secret that must never be revealed; this is explored further in " The Name of the Doctor. 2013) when River Song speaking his name allows the Great Intelligence to enter his tomb, and in "The Time of the Doctor" 2013) where speaking his true name becomes the signal by which the Time Lords would know they can safely return to the universe. Companions The companion figure – generally a human – has been a constant feature in Doctor Who since the programme's inception in 1963. One of the roles of the companion is to be a reminder for the Doctor's "moral duty. 101] The Doctor's first companions seen on screen were his granddaughter Susan Foreman ( Carole Ann Ford) and her teachers Barbara Wright ( Jacqueline Hill) and Ian Chesterton ( William Russell. These characters were intended to act as audience surrogates, through which the audience would discover information about the Doctor who was to act as a mysterious father figure. [101] The only story from the original series in which the Doctor travels alone is The Deadly Assassin (1976. Notable companions from the earlier series included Romana ( Mary Tamm and Lalla Ward) a Time Lady; Sarah Jane Smith ( Elisabeth Sladen) and Jo Grant ( Katy Manning. Dramatically, these characters provide a figure with whom the audience can identify, and serve to further the story by requesting exposition from the Doctor and manufacturing peril for the Doctor to resolve. The Doctor regularly gains new companions and loses old ones; sometimes they return home or find new causes — or loves — on worlds they have visited. Some have died during the course of the series. Companions are usually human, or humanoid aliens. Since the 2005 revival, the Doctor generally travels with a primary female companion, who occupies a larger narrative role. Steven Moffat described the companion as the main character of the show, as the story begins anew with each companion and she undergoes more change than the Doctor. [102] 103] The primary companions of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors were Rose Tyler ( Billie Piper) Martha Jones ( Freema Agyeman) and Donna Noble ( Catherine Tate) with Mickey Smith ( Noel Clarke) and Jack Harkness ( John Barrowman) recurring as secondary companion figures. [104] The Eleventh Doctor became the first to travel with a married couple, Amy Pond ( Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams ( Arthur Darvill) whilst out-of-sync meetings with River Song ( Alex Kingston) and Clara Oswald ( Jenna Coleman) provided ongoing story arcs. The tenth series introduced Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts [105] the Doctor's first openly-gay companion. Pearl Mackie said that the increased representation for LGBTQ people is important on a mainstream show. [106] Some companions have gone on to re-appear, either in the main series or in spin-offs. Sarah Jane Smith became the central character in The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–11) following a return to Doctor Who in 2006. Guest stars in the series included former companions Jo Grant, K9, and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart ( Nicholas Courtney. The character of Jack Harkness also served to launch a spin-off, Torchwood, 2006–2011) in which Martha Jones also appeared. Adversaries When Sydney Newman commissioned the series, he specifically did not want to perpetuate the cliché of the " bug-eyed monster " of science fiction. [107] However, monsters were popular with audiences and so became a staple of Doctor Who almost from the beginning. With the show's 2005 revival, executive producer Russell T Davies stated his intention to reintroduce classic icons of Doctor Who. [108] The Autons with the Nestene Consciousness and Daleks returned in series 1, Cybermen in series 2, the Macra and the Master in series 3, the Sontarans and Davros in series 4, and the Time Lords including Rassilon in the 2009–10 Specials. Davies' successor, Steven Moffat, has continued the trend by reviving the Silurians in series 5, Cybermats in series 6, the Great Intelligence and the Ice Warriors in Series 7, and Zygons in the 50th Anniversary Special. [109] Since its 2005 return, the series has also introduced new recurring aliens: Slitheen (Raxacoricofallapatorians) Ood, Judoon, Weeping Angels and the Silence. Besides infrequent appearances by enemies such as the Ice Warriors, Ogrons, the Rani, and Black Guardian, three adversaries have become particularly iconic: the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Master. Daleks A Dalek at the Doctor Who Experience, Cardiff The Dalek race, which first appeared in the show's second serial in 1963, 110] are Doctor Who ' s oldest villains. The Daleks are Kaleds from the planet Skaro, mutated by the scientist Davros and housed in mechanical armour shells for mobility. The actual creatures resemble octopuses with large, pronounced brains. Their armour shells have a single eye-stalk, a sink-plunger-like device that serves the purpose of a hand, and a directed-energy weapon. Their main weakness is their eyestalk; attacks upon them using various weapons can blind a Dalek, making it go mad. Their chief role in the series plot, as they frequently remark in their instantly recognisable metallic voices, is to "exterminate" all non-Dalek beings. They even attack the Time Lords in the Time War, as shown during the 50th Anniversary of the show. They continue to be a recurring 'monster' within the Doctor Who franchise, their most recent appearance being the 2019 episodes " Resolution. Davros has also been a recurring figure since his debut in Genesis of the Daleks, although played by several different actors. The Daleks were created by writer Terry Nation (who intended them to be an allegory of the Nazis) 111] and BBC designer Raymond Cusick. [112] The Daleks' début in the programme's second serial, The Daleks (1963–64) made both the Daleks and Doctor Who very popular. A Dalek appeared on a postage stamp celebrating British popular culture in 1999, photographed by Lord Snowdon. In " Victory of the Daleks " a new set of Daleks were introduced that come in a range of colours; the colour denoting its role within the species. [113] Cybermen Cybermen were originally a wholly organic species of humanoids originating on Earth's twin planet Mondas that began to implant more and more artificial parts into their bodies. This led to the race becoming coldly logical and calculating cyborgs, with emotions usually only shown when naked aggression was called for. With the demise of Mondas, they acquired Telos as their new home planet. They continue to be a recurring 'monster' within the Doctor Who franchise. The 2006 series introduced a totally new variation of Cybermen. These Cybus Cybermen were created in a parallel universe by the mad inventor John Lumic; he was attempting to preserve the humans by transplanting their brains into powerful metal bodies, sending them orders using a mobile phone network and inhibiting their emotions with an electronic chip. The Master The Master is the Doctor's archenemy, a renegade Time Lord who desires to rule the universe. Conceived as " Professor Moriarty to the Doctor's Sherlock Holmes. 114] the character first appeared in 1971. As with the Doctor, the role has been portrayed by several actors, since the Master is a Time Lord as well and able to regenerate; the first of these actors was Roger Delgado, who continued in the role until his death in 1973. The Master was briefly played by Peter Pratt and Geoffrey Beevers until Anthony Ainley took over and continued to play the character until Doctor Who's hiatus in 1989. The Master returned in the 1996 television movie of Doctor Who, and was played by American actor Eric Roberts. Following the series revival in 2005, Derek Jacobi provided the character's re-introduction in the 2007 episode " Utopia. During that story, the role was then assumed by John Simm who returned to the role multiple times through the Tenth Doctor 's tenure. [115] As of the 2014 episode " Dark Water. it was revealed that the Master had become a female incarnation or "Time Lady" going by the name of "Missy" short for Mistress, the feminine equivalent of "Master. This incarnation is played by Michelle Gomez. John Simm returned in his role as the Master in the tenth series. [116] Music Theme music The Doctor Who theme music was one of the first electronic music signature tunes for television, and after more than a half century remains one of the most easily recognised. The original theme was composed by Ron Grainer and realised by Delia Derbyshire of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, with assistance from Dick Mills and was released as a single on Decca F 11837 in 1964. The various parts were built up using musique concrète techniques, by creating tape loops of an individually struck piano string and individual test oscillators and filters. The Derbyshire arrangement served, with minor edits, as the theme tune up to the end of season 17 (1979–80. It is regarded as a significant and innovative piece of electronic music, recorded well before the availability of commercial synthesisers or multitrack mixers. Each note was individually created by cutting, splicing, speeding up and slowing down segments of analogue tape containing recordings of a single plucked string, white noise, and the simple harmonic waveforms of test-tone oscillators, intended for calibrating equipment and rooms, not creating music. New techniques were invented to allow mixing of the music, as this was before the era of multitrack tape machines. On hearing the finished result, Grainer asked, Jeez, Delia, did I write that. 117] Although Grainer was willing to give Derbyshire the co-composer credit, it was against BBC policy at the time. [118] 119] A different arrangement was recorded by Peter Howell for season 18 (1980) which was in turn replaced by Dominic Glynn 's arrangement for the season-long serial The Trial of a Time Lord in season 23 (1986. Keff McCulloch provided the new arrangement for the Seventh Doctor 's era which lasted from season 24 (1987) until the series' suspension in 1989. American composer John Debney created a new arrangement of Ron Grainer 's original theme for Doctor Who in 1996. For the return of the series in 2005, Murray Gold provided a new arrangement which featured samples from the 1963 original with further elements added; in the 2005 Christmas episode " The Christmas Invasion. A new arrangement of the theme, once again by Gold, was introduced in the 2007 Christmas special episode. Voyage of the Damned. Gold returned as composer for the 2010 series. [120] He was responsible for a new version of the theme which was reported to have had a hostile reception from some viewers. [121] In 2011, the theme tune charted at number 228 of radio station Classic FM's Hall of Fame, a survey of classical music tastes. A revised version of Gold's 2010 arrangement had its debut over the opening titles of the 2012 Christmas special " The Snowmen. and a further revision of the arrangement was made for the 50th Anniversary special " The Day of the Doctor " in November 2013. [122] Versions of the "Doctor Who Theme" have also been released as pop music over the years. In the early 1970s, Jon Pertwee, who had played the Third Doctor, recorded a version of the Doctor Who theme with spoken lyrics, titled, Who Is the Doctor. note 6] In 1978 a disco version of the theme was released in the UK, Denmark and Australia by the group Mankind, which reached number 24 in the UK charts. In 1988 the band The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (later known as The KLF) released the single " Doctorin' the Tardis " under the name The Timelords, which reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in Australia; this version incorporated several other songs, including "Rock and Roll Part 2" by Gary Glitter (who recorded vocals for some of the CD-single remix versions of "Doctorin' the Tardis. 123] Others who have covered or reinterpreted the theme include Orbital, 123] Pink Floyd, 123] the Australian string ensemble Fourplay, New Zealand punk band Blam Blam Blam, The Pogues, Thin Lizzy, Dub Syndicate, and the comedians Bill Bailey and Mitch Benn. Both the theme and obsessive fans were satirised on The Chaser's War on Everything. The theme tune has also appeared on many compilation CDs, and has made its way into mobile-phone ringtones. Fans have also produced and distributed their own remixes of the theme. In January 2011 the Mankind version was released as a digital download on the album Gallifrey And Beyond. On 26 June 2018, producer Chris Chibnall announced that the musical score for series 11 would be provided by Royal Birmingham Conservatoire alumnus Segun Akinola. [124] Incidental music Most of the innovative incidental music for Doctor Who has been specially commissioned from freelance composers, although in the early years some episodes also used stock music, as well as occasional excerpts from original recordings or cover versions of songs by popular music acts such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Since its 2005 return, the series has featured occasional use of excerpts of pop music from the 1970s to the 2000s. The incidental music for the first Doctor Who adventure, An Unearthly Child, was written by Norman Kay. Many of the stories of the William Hartnell period were scored by electronic music pioneer Tristram Cary, whose Doctor Who credits include The Daleks, Marco Polo, The Daleks' Master Plan, The Gunfighters and The Mutants. Other composers in this early period included Richard Rodney Bennett, Carey Blyton and Geoffrey Burgon. The most frequent musical contributor during the first 15 years was Dudley Simpson, who is also well known for his theme and incidental music for Blake's 7, and for his haunting theme music and score for the original 1970s version of The Tomorrow People. Simpson's first Doctor Who score was Planet of Giants (1964) and he went on to write music for many adventures of the 1960s and 1970s, including most of the stories of the Jon Pertwee/Tom Baker periods, ending with The Horns of Nimon (1979. He also made a cameo appearance in The Talons of Weng-Chiang (as a Music hall conductor. In 1980 starting with the serial The Leisure Hive the task of creating incidental music was assigned to the Radiophonic Workshop. Paddy Kingsland and Peter Howell contributed many scores in this period and other contributors included Roger Limb, Malcolm Clarke and Jonathan Gibbs. The Radiophonic Workshop was dropped after 1986's The Trial of a Time Lord series, and Keff McCulloch took over as the series' main composer until the end of its run, with Dominic Glynn and Mark Ayres also contributing scores. From the 2005 revival to the 2017 Christmas episode " Twice Upon a Time. 125] all incidental music for the series was composed by Murray Gold and Ben Foster, and has been performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales from the 2005 Christmas episode " The Christmas Invasion " onwards. A concert featuring the orchestra performing music from the first two series took place on 19 November 2006 to raise money for Children in Need. David Tennant hosted the event, introducing the different sections of the concert. Murray Gold and Russell T Davies answered questions during the interval and Daleks and Cybermen appeared whilst music from their stories was played. The concert aired on BBCi on Christmas Day 2006. A Doctor Who Prom was celebrated on 27 July 2008 in the Royal Albert Hall as part of the annual BBC Proms. The BBC Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic Choir performed Murray Gold's compositions for the series, conducted by Ben Foster, as well as a selection of classics based on the theme of space and time. The event was presented by Freema Agyeman and guest-presented by various other stars of the show with numerous monsters participating in the proceedings. It also featured the specially filmed mini-episode " Music of the Spheres. written by Russell T Davies and starring David Tennant. [126] On 26 June 2018, producer Chris Chibnall announced that the musical score for the eleventh series would be provided by Royal Birmingham Conservatoire alumnus Segun Akinola. [124] Six soundtrack releases have been released since 2005. The first featured tracks from the first two series, 127] the second and third featured music from the third and fourth series respectively. The fourth was released on 4 October 2010 as a two disc special edition and contained music from the 2008–2010 specials ( The Next Doctor to " End of Time Part 2. 128] 129] The soundtrack for Series 5 was released on 8 November 2010. [130] In February 2011, a soundtrack was released for the 2010 Christmas special: A Christmas Carol. 131] and in December 2011 the soundtrack for Series 6 was released, both by Silva Screen Records. [132] In 2013, a 50th-anniversary boxed set of audio CDs was released featuring music and sound effects from Doctor Who's 50-year history. The celebration continued in 2016 with the release of Doctor Who: The 50th Anniversary Collection Four LP Box Set by New York City-based Spacelab9. The company pressed 1, 000 copies of the set on "Metallic Silver" vinyl, dubbed the "Cyberman Edition. 133] Viewership United Kingdom The image of the TARDIS is iconic in British popular culture. Premiering the day after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the first episode of Doctor Who was repeated with the second episode the following week. Doctor Who has always appeared initially on the BBC's mainstream BBC One channel, where it is regarded as a family show, drawing audiences of many millions of viewers; episodes were also repeated on BBC Three, before its transition to an online-only channel. The programme's popularity has waxed and waned over the decades, with three notable periods of high ratings. [134] The first of these was the " Dalekmania " period (circa 1964–1965) when the popularity of the Daleks regularly brought Doctor Who ratings of between 9 and 14 million, even for stories which did not feature them. [134] The second was the mid to late 1970s, when Tom Baker occasionally drew audiences of over 12 million. [134] An audience survey during the 1970s revealed that at the time 60% of the viewership were adults. citation needed] During the ITV network strike of 1979, viewership peaked at 16 million. citation needed] Figures remained respectable into the 1980s, but fell noticeably after the programme's 23rd series was postponed in 1985 and the show was off the air for 18 months. At the time of Season 19's broadcast in 1982 the show was being watched by a global audience of 98 million, 88 million in 38 foreign countries, and an average of ten million in the United Kingdom. citation needed] Its late 1980s performance of three to five million viewers was seen as poor at the time and was, according to the BBC Board of Control, a leading cause of the programme's 1989 suspension. Some fans considered this disingenuous, since the programme was scheduled against the soap opera Coronation Street, the most popular show at the time. [135] 136] During Tennant's run (the third notable period of high ratings) the show had consistently high viewership; with the Christmas specials regularly attracting over 10 million. [134] The BBC One broadcast of " Rose. the first episode of the 2005 revival, drew an average audience of 10. 81 million, third highest for BBC One that week and seventh across all channels. [134] 137] 138] The current revival also garners the highest audience Appreciation Index of any drama on television. [139] International Map of countries that have or currently broadcast Doctor Who in either its current or classic incarnation (map correct as of October 2014) Doctor Who has been broadcast internationally outside of the United Kingdom since 1964, a year after the show first aired.

[140] BBC Worldwide CEO John Smith has said that Doctor Who is one of a small number of "Superbrands" which Worldwide will promote heavily. [141] Only four episodes have ever had their premiere showings on channels other than BBC One. The 1983 20th anniversary special The Five Doctors had its début on 23 November (the actual date of the anniversary) on a number of PBS stations two days prior to its BBC One broadcast. The 1988 story Silver Nemesis was broadcast with all three episodes airing back to back on TVNZ in New Zealand in November, after the first episode had been shown in the UK but before the final two instalments had aired there.

[142] In Australia, the show has had a strong fan base since its inception, having been exclusively first run by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) since January 1965. (See Doctor Who in Australia) The ABC has periodically repeated episodes; of note were the weekly screenings of all available classic episodes starting in 2003, for the show's 40th anniversary, and the weekdaily screenings of all available revived episodes in 2013 for the show's 50th anniversary. The ABC broadcasts the modern series first run on ABC1 and ABC ME, with repeats on ABC2.

[143] TVOntario picked up the show in 1976 beginning with The Three Doctors and aired each series (several years late) through to series 24 in 1991. From 1979 to 1981, TVO airings were bookended by science-fiction writer Judith Merril who introduced the episode and then, after the episode concluded, tried to place it in an educational context in keeping with TVO's status as an educational channel. Its airing of The Talons of Weng-Chiang was cancelled as a result of accusations that the story was racist; the story was later broadcast in the 1990s on cable station YTV. CBC began showing the series again in 2005. The series moved to the Canadian cable channel Space in 2009. citation needed] For the Canadian broadcast, Christopher Eccleston recorded special video introductions for each episode (including a trivia question as part of a viewer contest) and excerpts from the Doctor Who Confidential documentary were played over the closing credits; for the broadcast of " The Christmas Invasion " on 26 December 2005, Billie Piper recorded a special video introduction.

D. in 1966. Both are retellings of existing television stories (specifically, the first two Dalek serials, The Daleks and The Dalek Invasion of Earth respectively) with a larger budget and alterations to the series concept. In these films, Peter Cushing plays a human scientist [153] named "Dr. Who" who travels with his granddaughter, niece and other companions in a time machine he has invented. The Cushing version of the character reappears in both comic strips and a short story, the latter attempting to reconcile the film continuity with that of the series. In addition, several planned films were proposed, including a sequel, The Chase, loosely based on the original series story, for the Cushing Doctor, plus many attempted television movie and big screen productions to revive the original Doctor Who, after the original series was cancelled. Paul McGann starred in the only television film as the eighth incarnation of the Doctor. After the film, he continued the role in audio books and was confirmed as the eighth incarnation through flashback footage and a mini episode in the 2005 revival, effectively linking the two series and the television movie. In 2011, David Yates announced that he had started work with the BBC on a Doctor Who film, a project that would take three or more years to complete. Yates indicated that the film would take a different approach to Doctor Who, 154] although then Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat stated later that any such film would not be a reboot of the series and a film should be made by the BBC team and star the current TV Doctor. [155] 156] Spin-offs Doctor Who has appeared on stage numerous times. In the early 1970s, Trevor Martin played the role in Doctor Who and the Daleks in the Seven Keys to Doomsday. In the late 1980s, Jon Pertwee and Colin Baker both played the Doctor at different times during the run of a play titled Doctor Who – The Ultimate Adventure. For two performances, while Pertwee was ill, David Banks (better known for playing Cybermen) played the Doctor. Other original plays have been staged as amateur productions, with other actors playing the Doctor, while Terry Nation wrote The Curse of the Daleks, a stage play mounted in the late 1960s, but without the Doctor. A pilot episode. A Girl's Best Friend. for a potential spinoff series, K-9 and Company, was aired in 1981 with Elisabeth Sladen reprising her role as companion Sarah Jane Smith and John Leeson as the voice of K9, but was not picked up as a regular series. Concept art for an animated Doctor Who series was produced by animation company Nelvana in the 1980s, but the series was not produced.

The series debuted on BBC Three on 22 October 2006. [158] John Barrowman reprised his role of Jack Harkness from the 2005 series of Doctor Who. [159] Two other actresses who appeared in Doctor Who also star in the series; Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper, who also played the similarly named servant girl Gwyneth in the 2005 Doctor Who episode " The Unquiet Dead. 160] and Naoko Mori who reprised her role as Toshiko Sato first seen in " Aliens of London. A second series of Torchwood aired in 2008; for three episodes, the cast was joined by Freema Agyeman reprising her Doctor Who role of Martha Jones. A third series was broadcast from 6 to 10 July 2009, and consisted of a single five-part story called Children of Earth which was set largely in London. A fourth series, Torchwood: Miracle Day jointly produced by BBC Wales, BBC Worldwide and the American entertainment company Starz debuted in 2011. The series was predominantly set in the United States, though Wales remained part of the show's setting. The Sarah Jane Adventures, starring Elisabeth Sladen who reprised her role as investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith, was developed by CBBC; a special aired on New Year's Day 2007 and a full series began on 24 September 2007. [161] A second series followed in 2008, notable for (as noted above) featuring the return of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. A third in 2009 featured a crossover appearance from the main show by David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. In 2010, a further such appearance featured Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor alongside former companion actress Katy Manning reprising her role as Jo Grant. A final, three-story fifth series was transmitted in autumn 2011 – uncompleted due to the death of Elisabeth Sladen in early 2011. An animated serial, The Infinite Quest, aired alongside the 2007 series of Doctor Who as part of the children's television series Totally Doctor Who. The serial featured the voices of series regulars David Tennant and Freema Agyeman but is not considered part of the 2007 series. [162] A second animated serial, Dreamland, aired in six parts on the BBC Red Button service, and the official Doctor Who website in 2009. [163] Class, featuring students of Coal Hill School, was first aired on-line on BBC Three from 22 October 2016, as a series of eight 45 minute episodes, written by Patrick Ness. [164] 165] Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor appears in the show's first episode. [166] The series was picked up by BBC America on 8 January 2016 and by BBC One a day later. [167] On 7 September 2017, BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh confirmed that the series had officially been cancelled. [168] Numerous other spin-off series have been created not by the BBC but by the respective owners of the characters and concepts.

[170] Aftershows When the revived series of Doctor Who was brought back, an aftershow series was created by the BBC, titled Doctor Who Confidential. There have been three aftershow series created, with the latest one titled Doctor Who: The Fan Show, which began airing from the tenth series. Each series follows behind-the-scenes footage on the making of Doctor Who through clips and interviews with the cast, production crew and other people, including those who have participated in the television series in some manner. Each episode deals with a different topic, and in most cases refers to the Doctor Who episode that preceded it.

This was the programme's very first co-production with Australian broadcaster ABC. [171] Featuring three of the first five Doctors, a new actor to replace the deceased William Hartnell, and unused footage to represent Tom Baker. [172] This was a full-length, 90-minute film, the longest single episode of Doctor Who produced to date (the television movie ran slightly longer on broadcast where it included commercial breaks. 173. citation needed] In 1993, for the franchise's 30th anniversary, another charity special, titled Dimensions in Time was produced for Children in Need, featuring all of the surviving actors who played the Doctor and a number of previous companions. It also featured a crossover with the soap opera EastEnders, the action taking place in the latter's Albert Square location and around Greenwich. The special was one of several special 3D programmes the BBC produced at the time, using a 3D system that made use of the Pulfrich effect requiring glasses with one darkened lens; the picture would look normal to those viewers who watched without the glasses. In 1999, another special, Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death, was made for Comic Relief and later released on VHS. An affectionate parody of the television series, it was split into four segments, mimicking the traditional serial format, complete with cliffhangers, and running down the same corridor several times when being chased (the version released on video was split into only two episodes. In the story, the Doctor ( Rowan Atkinson) encounters both the Master ( Jonathan Pryce) and the Daleks. During the special the Doctor is forced to regenerate several times, with his subsequent incarnations played by, in order, Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant and Joanna Lumley. The script was written by Steven Moffat, later to be head writer and executive producer to the revived series. [174] Since the return of Doctor Who in 2005, the franchise has produced two original "mini-episodes" to support Children in Need. The first, aired in November 2005, was an untitled seven-minute scene which introduced David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. It was followed in November 2007 by " Time Crash. a 7-minute scene which featured the Tenth Doctor meeting the Fifth Doctor Peter Davison. A set of two mini-episodes, titled "Space" and "Time" respectively, were produced to support Comic Relief. They were aired during the Comic Relief 2011 event. [175] During 2011 Children in Need, an exclusively filmed segment showed the Doctor addressing the viewer, attempting to persuade them to purchase items of his clothing, which were going up for auction for Children in Need. The 2012 edition of CiN featured the mini-episode The Great Detective. Spoofs and cultural references Doctor Who has been satirised and spoofed on many occasions by comedians including Spike Milligan (a Dalek invades his bathroom — Milligan, naked, hurls a soap sponge at it) and Lenny Henry. Jon Culshaw frequently impersonates the Fourth Doctor in the BBC Dead Ringers series. [176] Doctor Who fandom has also been lampooned on programs such as Saturday Night Live, The Chaser's War on Everything, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Family Guy, American Dad! Futurama, South Park, Community as Inspector Spacetime, The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory. As part of the 50th anniversary programmes, former Fifth Doctor Peter Davison directed, wrote and co-starred in the parody The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, which also starred two other former Doctors, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy, and cameo appearances from cast and crew involved in the programme, including showrunner Steven Moffat and Doctors Paul McGann, David Tennant and Matt Smith. [177] The Doctor in his fourth incarnation has been represented on several episodes of The Simpsons [178] and Matt Groening 's other animated series Futurama. [179] 180] There have also been many references to Doctor Who in popular culture and other science fiction, including Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Neutral Zone. 181] and Leverage. In the Channel 4 series Queer as Folk (created by later Doctor Who executive producer Russell T. Davies) the character of Vince was portrayed as an avid Doctor Who fan, with references appearing many times throughout in the form of clips from the programme. In a similar manner, the character of Oliver on Coupling (created and written by current show runner Steven Moffat) is portrayed as a Doctor Who collector and enthusiast. References to Doctor Who have also appeared in the young adult fantasy novels Brisingr [182] and High Wizardry, 183] the video game Rock Band, 184] the Adult Swim comedy show Robot Chicken, the Family Guy episodes " Blue Harvest " and " 420. and the game RuneScape. It has also be referenced in Destroy All Humans! 2, by civilians in the game's variation of England, 185] and multiple times throughout the Ace Attorney series. [186] Doctor Who has been a reference in several political cartoons, from a 1964 cartoon in the Daily Mail depicting Charles de Gaulle as a Dalek [187] to a 2008 edition of This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow in which the Tenth Doctor informs an incredulous character from 2003 that the Democratic Party will nominate an African-American as its presidential candidate. [188] The word "TARDIS" is an entry in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary [189] and the iOS dictionary. Museums and exhibitions There have been various exhibitions of Doctor Who in the United Kingdom, including the now closed exhibitions at: Land's End ( Cornwall) Blackpool Llangollen Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow Coventry Transport Museum, Coventry Centre for Life, Newcastle upon Tyne Melbourne, Australia (only international DW concert to be performed) Kensington Olympia Two, London Longleat, which ran for 30 years.

Many games have been released that feature the Daleks, including Dalek computer games. Audios The earliest Doctor Who -related audio release was a 21-minute narrated abridgement of the First Doctor television story The Chase released in 1966. Ten years later, the first original Doctor Who audio was released on LP record; Doctor Who and the Pescatons featuring the Fourth Doctor. The first commercially available audiobook was an abridged reading of the Fourth Doctor story State of Decay in 1981. In 1988, during a hiatus in the television show, Slipback, the first radio drama, was transmitted. Since 1999, Big Finish Productions has released several different series of Doctor Who audios on CD. The earliest of these featured the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors, with Paul McGann's Eight Doctor joining the line in 2001. Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor began appearing for Big Finish in 2012. Along with the main range, adventures of the First, Second and Third Doctors have been produced in both limited cast and full cast formats, as well as audiobooks. The 2013 series Destiny of the Doctor, produced as part of the series' 50th Anniversary celebrations, marked the first time Big Finish created stories (in this case audiobooks) featuring the Doctors from the revived show. Along with this, in May 2016 the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, appeared alongside Catherine Tate in a collection of three audio adventures. In addition to these main lines, both the BBC and Big Finish have produced original audio dramas and audiobooks based on spin-off material, such as Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures series. Books Doctor Who books have been published from the mid-sixties through to the present day. From 1965 to 1991 the books published were primarily novelised adaptations of broadcast episodes; beginning in 1991 an extensive line of original fiction was launched, the Virgin New Adventures and Virgin Missing Adventures.

When John Hurt became the War Doctor he said, Doctor no more. This statement couldn't be more true than with Whittaker's portrayal. I didn't see this episode but I've heard enough about it to know that Whittaker is not the Doctor we used to know. She truly is Doctor Nasty. I'm horrified and so, so disappointed with what used to be my favourite show. Yes it's true that some people are socially awkward when trying to comfort people with a terminal disease but the Doctor should not be like that! The Doctor is someone we should feel confident will do the right thing. Terrible writing. Terrible characterization. I can't believe there isn't someone during the read-through who says, What? You can't have the Doctor say this! Chibnall just doesn't get it. He doesn't understand Doctor Who at all.

Who is Zellin? Im playing an immortal God. Ian Gelder takes us through the process of creating Zellin. Man! That was such a cool entrance. " The Doctor " was the main alias used by a mysterious renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey who travelled through time and space with various companions in their obsolete and "borrowed" Type 40 TARDIS.

TV: The Day of the Doctor) For their actions, the Time Lords granted the Doctor a new regeneration cycle, allowing them to live on after using up all available regenerations in their first cycle. TV: The Time of the Doctor) From the latter years of their first incarnation onward, the Doctor had a pronounced affinity for Earth and the human race. After departing Gallifrey, they voluntarily chose to spend time on the planet.

TV: The Day of the Doctor) Though taste in fashion did change with each Doctor, one thing that was an almost constant were jackets, either as part of an outfit ( TV: An Unearthly Child, The Power of the Daleks, Spearhead from Space, Castrovalva, The Twin Dilemma, Doctor Who, Rose, The Eleventh Hour, Deep Breath) or an extra like a trench coat. TV: The Christmas Invasion, The Woman Who Fell to Earth) Name Edit Main article: The Doctor's aliases The Doctor's true name remained unknown to all but a very few individuals, such as Sam Jones.

TV: The War Games, The Trial of a Time Lord) According to the Master, he chose the name "Doctor" to reflect his constant desire to make people "better. TV: The Sound of Drums) Missy claimed to know the Doctor's real name from their time together on Gallifrey; she said it was "Doctor Who" and the Doctor had chosen it to be mysterious but dropped the "Who" when he realised it was too on-the-nose. TV: World Enough and Time) The Eleventh Doctor told Clara Oswald that his real name was not so important, since he specifically chose in its place the title of "Doctor. like a promise you make.

TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Twelfth Doctor claimed that when he originally adopted the title it was "just a name. which held no real significance until his first visit to Skaro.

AUDIO: Sword of Orion) ninth ( COMIC: The Cruel Sea) and tenth incarnations ( TV: Utopia) claimed to be a doctor of practically "everything" and by their eleventh incarnation, the Doctor claimed to hold doctorates in at least medicine and cheesemaking. TV: The God Complex) In their thirteenth incarnation, they claimed to be a doctor of "Medicine, science, engineering, candyfloss, Lego, philosophy, people, hope. Mostly hope. TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum) According to Evelina, the Doctor's name was written in the stars of the Medusa Cascade. TV: The Fires of Pompeii) Members of an unidentified race of pan-dimensional beings also knew the Time Lord's real name, at one point. AUDIO: The Last Voyage) In one account, he had taken the moniker after his first contact with humans. Colonists on the medical/penal colony of Iwa began calling him "Doctor" after his arrival. He failed to correct them. After they left the planet, the Doctor" simply kept the name he had been given by the humans. PROSE: Frayed) In another, he had already been introducing himself by that name after his first trip in the TARDIS, which gave an alternative account of meeting humans for the first time on the Moon.

Dorium claimed the Doctor had been running from the question all his life. According to the Silence, silence must fall when the question is asked. TV: The Wedding of River Song) because if the question was answered, it could lead to destruction on a universal scale; through several methods, each of which were located on the planet Trenzalore. The first was that the Doctor's name could be used to open his grave and alter his timeline, potentially undoing the countless times the Doctor had saved the universe. TV: The Name of the Doctor) The second was that his name could be used to confirm to the Time Lords, who were sealed in a pocket universe and had been broadcasting the question throughout the entirety of time and space, that it was safe for them to return; which could result in another Time War. TV: The Time of the Doctor) At some point River Song learned his name, prompting the Doctor to claim that there was only one reason he ever would or could reveal it. TV: Forest of the Dead) Indeed, even while spending hundreds of years in a town permeated by a Truth Field and hearing the question asked multiple times, the Doctor would not or could not answer. TV: The Time of the Doctor) However, River later stated that she "made him" tell her his true name and that it "took a while.

TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Twelfth Doctor, after spending 900 years defending Trenzalore, stated his age to be over 2, 000. TV: Deep Breath) The Twelfth Doctor spent approximately four and a half billion years ( TV: Hell Bent) trapped inside his confession dial in an energy loop.

TV: The Name of the Doctor) After returning to Gallifrey by means of his confession dial, the Twelfth Doctor stood against Lord President Rassilon who tried to execute him. However, the Gallifreyan military hailed him as the man who ended the Time War and also respected him for his reputation during the Time War as someone who didn't need to go into battle armed to win and sided with him. Rassilon's own firing squad, the General and a squadron of military ships backed the Doctor against Rassilon who was overthrown and exiled from Gallifrey along with the High Council. The Doctor used his new position as Lord President of Gallifrey to save Clara Oswald 's life before once more fleeing Gallifrey in a stolen TARDIS, a fugitive once more. TV: Hell Bent) The Doctor's influence on the universe was seen most notably while in River Song's World: desperate to save the Doctor from his impending death, River Song built a timey-wimey distress beacon telling all of time and space that the Eleventh Doctor was dying and needed their help, causing the entire universe to reply that they would help. River told the Doctor that his impact on the universe was so profound that if he ever needed its help, he just had to ask. This was also shown in how the crew of the Teselecta, though formerly enemies of the Doctor, were willing to aid him in any way they could and kept his secret of being alive from the rest of the universe despite their past, just because he asked them to. TV: The Wedding of River Song) By the time the Vashta Nerada took over the Library, the Doctor was so well known he was in the Library's books and whatever they read there scared the Vashta Nerada (who the Tenth Doctor didn't think could be stopped) enough that they agreed to his demands. River Song also stated that she believed that "all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark" if the Doctor ever gave up on helping people. TV: Forest of the Dead) Nardole told the Twelfth Doctor that, if he died, everybody in the universe might just go cold. TV: Twice Upon a Time) When the Great Intelligence changed time so that the Doctor's victories were negated, Madame Vastra said that the universe was going to be a much darker place without him and entire star systems were shown disappearing as a result of his victories being negated. TV: The Name of the Doctor) When the Time Beetle created a parallel world around Donna Noble where the Doctor never met Donna, the Earth at least was shown to be a much darker place without the Doctor there to defend it. When the apparently unstoppable Darkness started approaching, Rose Tyler was sure the only one who could stop it was the Doctor, stating that they needed him "more than ever" to stop this reality-threatening event, although she later realised that both the Doctor and Donna together were needed. TV: Turn Left) During the Last Great Time War, when the Eighth Doctor died during a spaceship crash, the Sisterhood of Karn resurrected him and offered to help him control his regeneration precisely because they believed only the Doctor could stop a war that threatened the existence of the entire universe. Ohila told the Doctor specifically that he was the universe's last hope and indicated that if he took on a more active role in the Time War, which he had avoided doing up to that point, it could be stopped without everything being destroyed. TV: The Night of the Doctor) Perhaps the Doctor's greatest influence was on their companions, who were inspired by the Time Lord to fight injustice and help those in need. TV: Death of the Doctor) Even those who hadn't ever met the Doctor were inspired by their exploits ( TV: Planet of the Dead, The Power of Three, The Day of the Doctor, etc) even though they never considered themselves to be a hero. TV: The God Complex, Robot of Sherwood, Death in Heaven) While talking with the First Doctor, a glass avatar of Bill Potts learned that he had originally started travelling in hopes of finding an answer to how despite overwhelming odds, good always triumphs over evil in the universe. Bill suggested that it was "some bloke. wandering around, putting everything right when it goes wrong. The First Doctor expressed doubt over this theory, not realising that Bill was referring to the Doctor himself. Bill understood that the Doctor could not see his own impact on the universe, on everyone who ever met him though she knew everyone else could see it. The Twelfth Doctor told his predecessor that "our lives are woven throughout time and space. and the two of them trying to die twice in the same lifetime was enough to cause an error in the timeline. TV: Twice Upon a Time) Biographical summary Edit The Doctor had a variety of different and contradictory origins. PROSE: Unnatural History, Celestial Intervention - A Gallifreyan Noir) most often, they had always been a Time Lord from Gallifrey. TV: The War Games, et al. but sometimes they had always been a human - Gallifreyan hybrid ( TV: Doctor Who, et al. or possibly a human from Earth ( PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks, et al. in the 49th century. PROSE: Unnatural History) Sometimes, the Doctor believed they had been woven from a loom, and sometimes they believed there had been a mother and father. PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) The Doctor could not remember which was true and which was a dream. PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon) All of these origins were equally and paradoxically true due to the Doctor's biodata being retroactively manipulated ( PROSE: Unnatural History) by subconscious regeneration influences ( PROSE: The Blue Angel) as well as powerful beings such as Omega. PROSE: The Infinity Doctors) the enemy. PROSE: Unnatural History) the Great Intelligence. TV: The Name of the Doctor) and Faction Paradox. PROSE: Unnatural History, Interference - Book Two, The Shadows of Avalon) While in bed inside a barn and crying over not wishing to join the army, a young First Doctor heard Clara Oswald assuring him that it was all just a dream, that it was OK to be afraid of the dark and that "if you're very wise and very strong, fear doesn't have to make you cruel or cowardly. TV: Listen) This was an ontological paradox from when the Doctor's tenth incarnation told Clara about the promise he made about the Doctor being "never cruel or cowardly" which the Doctor had originally heard from Clara as a child. TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Doctor left Gallifrey and became a hero who fought evil and injustice across the universe in violation of the Time Lords' non-interference policy. TV: The War Games) Technically, he explored only with the intention of experiencing the wonders of the universe and having fun, but frequently became embroiled in machinations and crises that ended with him defeating the foe and saving the planet he was visiting. He travelled with many companions, beginning with his granddaughter, Susan Foreman, who also came from Gallifrey. TV. An Unearthly Child. A Desperate Venture. Gridlock) The Twelfth Doctor once stated to a broken Dalek that it was his first encounter with the Daleks on Skaro which truly defined his character. TV: Into the Dalek) According to Robin Hood after learning of his history from Clara Oswald, the Doctor was a man born into wealth and privilege who couldn't stand the plight of the weak and oppressed and so was eventually inspired to steal a TARDIS and fly amongst the stars, protecting those who couldn't protect themselves. However, the Doctor refused to see himself as a hero. TV: Robot of Sherwood) He later declared that he wasn't a good man, a bad man, an officer, a hero or a President as he was described by the many who had come to know him over the years, but simply an idiot, in a box, who travels around helping and learning. TV: Death in Heaven) Eventually, they were called to account for their crimes against the Time Lords during their second incarnation, when he called them to stop the War Lord and return kidnapped humans to their own era. His punishment was a forced regeneration, exile to Earth in the 20th century, and the loss of his knowledge of how to control the TARDIS. TV: The War Games) This knowledge was restored to him after he helped to defeat Omega. TV: The Three Doctors) Afterwards, he resumed having adventures with many companions in their following incarnations. Early in the Fourth Doctor 's life, he was sent by the Time Lords to prevent the creation of the Daleks, but despite having the chance he refrained from committing genocide. TV: Genesis of the Daleks) After this he kept the Black Guardian from obtaining the Key to Time. TV: The Armageddon Factor) achieved the office of Lord President of Gallifrey. TV: The Invasion of Time, The Five Doctors) and was again put on trial in his sixth incarnation for breaking the non-interference policy.

TV: The Trial of a Time Lord) During the Last Great Time War between the Time Lords and the Daleks, the Eighth Doctor refused to be a part of it. He died in a spaceship crash on Karn, but was revived by the Sisterhood of Karn, and agreed to regenerate into a warrior. TV: The Night of the Doctor) The Doctor then fought in the War. TV: Dalek) He ultimately ended the war and was able to save Gallifrey with the help of his other twelve incarnations. This displacement of Gallifrey caused the near-extinction of the Daleks. TV: The Day of the Doctor) The War was sealed in a time lock, making it impossible to time travel to it to save Gallifrey. TV: The Stolen Earth, Father's Day) In an alternate timeline, the Doctor's grave was on Trenzalore, where he had died after a battle. The Doctor was buried in his TARDIS. Instead of a body, the TARDIS contained the Doctor's time stream, manifesting as a column of light. The Great Intelligence forced the Eleventh Doctor to go to Trenzalore to open the TARDIS, though it was opened by a data ghost of River Song. The Great Intelligence entered the timestream to alter the Doctor's history, but the Doctor was saved by Clara Oswald scattering herself through his timestream. Due to this, Clara had helped the Doctor many times through his lives, even telling the First Doctor which TARDIS to steal. TV: The Name of the Doctor) After believing for four hundred years that he had destroyed his own people, the Doctor finally learned the truth when the Moment united the War, tenth and eleventh incarnations in an effort to change the Warrior's mind about destroying the Time Lords to save the universe. This encounter gave the Doctor a new perspective on his war incarnation, stating both that the War Doctor was the Doctor more than anybody and that the War Doctor was the Doctor "on the day it was impossible to get it right. However, both the War and the Tenth Doctor retained no memory of this encounter and both continued to believe that they had destroyed Gallifrey and the Time Lords when in reality the first thirteen of the Doctor's incarnations had come together to save it. TV: The Day of the Doctor) Eventually, the time came for the Eleventh Doctor to go to Trenzalore where he was fated to die in battle. The Doctor spent centuries protecting the town of Christmas from various enemies including the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and the Weeping Angels as the Time Lords were trying to return to the universe through a crack in time there. Growing extremely old and frail, the Doctor came to the end of his life as he no longer possessed the ability to regenerate. By that point, the Doctor had given up completely, having long before forsaken any chance to flee the planet and save his own life, believing he was unable to change his own future due to the Time Lords being gone. His companion, Clara, refused to give up and pleaded with the Time Lords through the crack to help the Doctor, stating that after all he'd done for the universe, he deserved their help. As the Daleks prepared to kill the Doctor, who was dying of old age by that point anyway, the Time Lords intervened to save him: they granted him a new cycle of regenerations through the crack. This allowed him to destroy the Dalek force attacking the planet and change the future. He later regenerated into the Twelfth Doctor but lost the chance to bring back the Time Lords as even though the enemies assaulting Trenzalore were defeated, the Time Lords closed the crack after helping him. TV: The Time of the Doctor) The Doctor's incarnations Edit By regenerating, the Doctor's personality and outer form changed greatly over time, though all of their incarnations were essentially the same person, retaining the memories, curiosity, eccentricity, and wisdom of the ones before. The Doctor was known to have regenerated on at least fourteen occasions. Though the Doctor's first thirteen incarnations were male. TV: The Day of the Doctor) at least two incarnations of the Doctor were known to have appeared to be women. TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth; PROSE: Rose) In fact, according to Clive Finch 's research, some incarnations of the Doctor were "in-between [male and female] or neither. PROSE: Rose) Despite appearances, the Eighth Doctor firmly denied ever having been a man or a woman. PROSE: Interference - Book One, Beltempest) as did the Thirteenth Doctor. PROSE: The Good Doctor) The First Doctor was an unreadable, guarded figure who was, at first, slow to trust newcomers who learnt of him, but once his trust had been earned, he would show another side of himself as a staunch anti-authoritarian with a mischievous streak. This Doctor was often irascible. He made his anger obvious. He was protective of the young women he took on as companions; they reminded him of his granddaughter, Susan. This Doctor was a brilliant, often short-tempered scientist and keen strategist. He used his signet ring to help get himself through ordeals due to his physical age impeding him. He stole a TARDIS and took his granddaughter with him, joyriding through all space and time, without a clue as to how to pilot his Ship. The Second Doctor, in contrast, was warm and wise. He was as surprised and frightened of alien menaces as those who faced them with him. He had a knack for manipulation and deception, and especially enjoyed to play a buffoon in order to trick his opponents into underestimating him so that he could better carry out his plans. His predecessor would refer to him as a "clown" due to his bumbling nature. He loved tootling on his recorder and carried around a 500-year diary, trying to record his travels, but ended up discarding it. He wore a big fur coat that dwarfed him, tying it closed with twine. A "cosmic hobo. he was forever getting himself in and out of trouble. The Third Doctor was a more dashing figure than his predecessors. He was described by his first incarnation as a "dandy. TV: The Three Doctors) He had a penchant for inventing gadgets and was skilled at martial arts, particularly Venusian aikido, and owned a vintage car named Bessie. His initially contentious relationship with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart softened into a close friendship during his exile on Earth, lasting through his future regenerations, despite not always agreeing with his actions. TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians) He also displayed great affection for his female companions, particularly Jo Grant. He was a gallant action hero who was very protective of his companions. The Fourth Doctor was more eccentric than his previous incarnations. Rarely without his long scarf, he carried jelly babies in his pockets, using them as bluffs, gifts and distractions—and occasionally snacks. He relied on his considerable charm, luck, and experience to get through bad situations. Although he retained his fondness for Earth. TV: The Stones of Blood) he ended his regular association with UNIT almost immediately upon his regeneration and only occasionally returned to the planet. However, he had not properly resigned from the position. TV: Pyramids of Mars) He hated to work and preferred travelling ( TV: Robot) but liked history.

TV: The Invisible Enemy) and even a fellow Time Lord in Romana, though their relationship began poorly. TV: The Ribos Operation) The Fifth Doctor was fond of cricket and wore a stick of celery on his lapel that he used as a safety precaution for his allergy to certain gases in the Praxis range of the spectrum. TV: The Caves of Androzani) After a difficult regeneration, this Doctor displayed energy, compassion and innocence not seen in his predecessors. His character was very human and vulnerable. Like them, he used improvisation as the best way out of a tricky situation. The Fifth Doctor was the first incarnation since the First Doctor to go "hands-free" and forgo the usage of a sonic screwdriver after having it destroyed. He occasionally wore glasses, even though he didn't need them; he only wore them to make himself look clever. TV: Time Crash) He was the first Doctor to sacrifice himself for another, when he and Peri Brown were dying from spectrox toxaemia; with only one dose of the antidote available, he gave her the cure rather than taking it himself. The Sixth Doctor was a grandiose and eloquent incarnation. He sported a multi-coloured wardrobe that was often commented and sneered at, occasionally leading to him being mistaken for a jester. This Doctor loved a good quote, often making one he deemed appropriate during an adventure. He also proved to have great acting skills on numerous occasions. TV: Mindwarp, The Ultimate Foe) His manic personality and acerbic wit could shade into moral passion, but his lack of concern for little things disgusted his companions. He was also capable of violent action, much more so than in past lives, and of killing without remorse when his life was threatened. TV: The Two Doctors) Despite his bluster, he still could show great compassion and empathy. Like the Fourth Doctor, he spent most of his travels with a single companion. The Seventh Doctor had a voice touched by a Scottish burr. A keen strategist and scientist and, especially early on in his life, lighthearted, this Doctor was a planner of the highest order. Embracing the complexities of time travel and his ability to manipulate and plan for the future, the Seventh Doctor fully embraced his role of Time 's Champion, even if it risked alienating his companions. TV: The Curse of Fenric) However, he wished to help heal psychological scars from which his companions suffered. TV: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy, Ghost Light) It was at this point the Doctor began looking towards his own origins from the Dark Days of Gallifrey, realising he was far more than just another Time Lord. TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, Silver Nemesis, PROSE: Lungbarrow) The Eighth Doctor showed a romantic and sensitive side not displayed by previous Doctors.

PROSE: Interference - Book One, Interference - Book Two, AUDIO: Storm Warning) He refused to take part in combat during the Last Great Time War, preferring instead to help those who were caught in the crossfire. TV: The Night of the Doctor) The " War Doctor " was an incarnation specifically chosen to be that of a warrior who would fight in the Last Great Time War. The regeneration into this incarnation was aided by the Sisterhood of Karn. TV: The Night of the Doctor) Although being a warrior and showing anger if he was referred by his former name, he still showed charm and compassion like his earlier selves. Due to the belief that he had destroyed Gallifrey, he was treated with shame and contempt by his future incarnations. His eleventh incarnation stated that his actions broke "the promise" of the "name of the Doctor. TV: The Name of the Doctor) This assessment changed somewhat once the real end of the Time War was revealed and was described after that as being the Doctor most of all by his future selves. TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Ninth Doctor considered himself the sole Time Lord survivor of the Time War (he spent his life thinking that he was responsible for destroying the Time Lords. He displayed much of the playfulness of his previous incarnations but was emotionally and psychologically scarred by the war and his role in it, which sometimes resulted in a detachment that was interpreted by some as cruelty. TV: The End of the World, Dalek) When asked about his voice and accent, he responded, Lots of planets have a North. TV: Rose) He cared deeply for Rose; he began to heal thanks to her. TV: Dalek, Journey's End) He also made dry jokes when facing danger or to diffuse tension. The Ninth Doctor ultimately sacrificed himself to save Rose's life, not only proving he cared deeply for her but allowing him to make peace with his past. TV: The Parting of the Ways) The Tenth Doctor had a manic personality with a fondness for human popular culture. However, his more outgoing personality traits largely existed to hide leftover emotional trauma from the Time War. While he had a bright, playful side, darker traits occasionally emerged. TV: The Christmas Invasion, Tooth and Claw, School Reunion, The Runaway Bride) He continued his previous incarnation's care for Rose Tyler, even growing into platonic love. However was unable or unwilling to express his exact feelings. TV: Doomsday; Journey's End) He experienced other romances on occasion, including with historic figures Madame de Pompadour ( TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) and Queen Elizabeth I. TV: The End of Time, The Day of the Doctor) However, they all ended badly. He was also the first Doctor to explicitly fear and dodge regeneration, because he had grown attached to his attributes and felt like it was a form of death and loss of identity; indeed, he is the first Doctor to actually waste a regeneration (after being shot by a Dalek) in order to retain his appearance and personality. TV: Journey's End, The Time of the Doctor) When the time came for him to fully regenerate, he was completely heartbroken before accepting his destiny. TV: The End of Time) The Eleventh Doctor exhibited a renewed youthful enthusiasm for adventure. He could quickly turn frantically angry and ruthless when events demanded. TV: The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, A Town Called Mercy) Like his second and seventh selves before him, he was a cunning schemer, executing temporally complex plans and misdirections to achieve victory against his enemies. TV: Day of the Moon, A Good Man Goes to War, The Wedding of River Song) He frequently referred to himself as being old, showing his age on more than a few occasions. TV: Vincent and the Doctor, The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut, Closing Time) Through his marriage to River Song, he found a sense of family again with her and his in-laws, and was distraught when circumstances separated him from them. TV: The Power of Three, The Angels Take Manhattan, The Name of the Doctor) Some events still provided painful reminders of his role in the Time War. TV: The Rings of Akhaten, The Time of the Doctor, et al. He was the final incarnation before the Time Lords granted him a new regeneration cycle. TV: The Time of the Doctor) The Twelfth Doctor displayed an acerbic wit coupled with sarcasm. Like his seventh incarnation, he was manipulative and practical to a fault. He lacked much of the empathy present in his immediate predecessors, and as a result, found himself coming off as callous or uncaring on many occasions. In spite of this, he shared the Eleventh Doctor's lack of tact and odd behaviour. He had a tendency to brush off death around him, in order to focus on the task at hand. However, because of this, he expressed doubt as to whether he was a "good" man. TV: Into the Dalek) He eventually accepted that he wasn't a good man, but decided he wasn't a bad one either, being just "an idiot with a box. TV: Death in Heaven) By the end of his life, the Twelfth Doctor sought "just [to] be kind. He fought for others, in the face of futility, because he felt it was right.

TV: Demons of the Punjab, The Witchfinders) and the preservation of all life. TV: Arachnids in the UK, The Witchfinders, The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos) A number of other incarnations have been chronicled; however, where they fall within the Doctor's lifetime is unclear: The Other was the mythological third founding father of Gallifrey, several accounts link the Doctor to the Other, in some the Doctor is the Other reincarnated through the Loom of the House of Lungbarrow, while other accounts depict the Other as the Doctor from some point in the Future. PROSE: Remembrance of the Daleks, Lungbarrow, The Scrolls of Rassilon, et al. ) The Watcher was a manifestation of the Doctor during his fourth regeneration. He went back in time to the Fourth Doctor 's final adventure and ensured the events leading to his death would still happen. When the Doctor finally regenerated, he merged with the Watcher to briefly become him, after which he emerged from the regeneration as the Fifth Doctor. TV: Logopolis) The Valeyard was, according to the Master, an amalgamation of the darker sides of the Doctor's nature, somewhere between the Doctor's twelfth and final incarnation. He shared the characteristics and dress sense of the Master. He sought to take the Sixth Doctor 's seven remaining regenerations and have them for himself. TV: The Ultimate Foe) He was finally defeated in Victorian era London. PROSE: Matrix) The Great Intelligence ( TV: The Name of the Doctor) and the Testimony were aware of the Valeyard's existence.

As such, the Curator spent some time collaborating with UNIT contemporaneously with the Third Doctor, unbeknownst to the earlier incarnation, though not to Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. The Curator also occupied himself by editing scattered writings of his past incarnations, the "Doctor Papers" into a coherent history of the Last Great Time War. PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) An unknown female incarnation of the Doctor was encountered by the Thirteenth Doctor who used her sonic screwdriver to positively identify this Time Lord and herself as the same person, despite neither of them having memories of the other.

As "Ruth" she was happily married to a man called " Lee. living in Gloucester, and was a tour guide for the city. Upon being tracked down by the Judoon, Lee" actually her minder) sacrificed himself as a diversion, and reawakened memories of a lighthouse within her with a cryptic text. The recovered memory then led the two Doctors to the lighthouse where "Ruth" recovered both her identity as the Doctor and her TARDIS and confronted Gat, a Time Lord who had killed "Lee" and was hunting her "for the glory of Gallifrey" with a laser rifle on board the Judoon ship. During the confrontation, and upon learning that Gat was also Gallifreyan, the Thirteenth Doctor claimed that this incarnation " can only be [her] past. This Doctor, knowing that Gat would ask her to surrender the weapon, had recalibrated it to disintegrate the user, which the Thirteenth Doctor was appalled at. Afterwards, the Thirteenth Doctor and this Doctor left the Judoon when they reached interstellar space as it was no-one's jurisdiction, with the Judoon chief swearing that a Judoon contract was always fulfilled. The Doctors then parted ways, with them both being uncertain as to which one of them had faulty memories.

TV: The Five Doctors) Immediately before his regeneration, the Tenth Doctor stated, I don't want to go" showing he had become attached to his current self. Immediately after his twelfth regeneration, the Eleventh Doctor remarked upon his new nose, stating that, I've had worse" — possibly a reference to multiple incarnations, including his third, who was once described as a "long-shanked fellow with a mighty nose. TV: The End of Time, The Time Warrior) The Eleventh Doctor also at one point expressed loathing for his first incarnation's initial personality, considering himself at that time a foolish and arrogant liar and a selfish coward. COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone) Before learning the true outcome of the Time War, the Eleventh Doctor expressed an even greater hate for the " War Doctor " whose actions were so shameful that he went against "the name of the Doctor" and not counting him among his incarnations.

TV: Spyfall) Impacting future incarnations Edit The Doctor on occasion performed acts that were expected to have an impact on future incarnations. Once, in order to recharge the TARDIS, the Tenth Doctor transferred some of his life energy, an act he acknowledged shortened his lifespan (and, by extension, the life of his ultimate final incarnation) by ten years. TV: Rise of the Cybermen) Later, the Twelfth Doctor gave up some of his regeneration energy to revive Davros. TV: The Witch's Familiar) as did the Eleventh Doctor to heal River Song 's wrist. TV: The Angels Take Manhattan) when River Song did something similar to save the Eleventh Doctor's life, it was stated that doing so cost her ability to regenerate. TV: Let's Kill Hitler) Indeed, River pointed out to the Eleventh Doctor that he had wasted regeneration energy. TV: The Angels Take Manhattan) The Twelfth Doctor, after becoming blind, once created a device capable of borrowing eyesight from a future version of his current incarnation, but at the possible cost of being permanently blinded or having all possibility of future regeneration disabled; however, this took place in a computer-generated simulation. TV: Extremis) Regeneration Edit Due to the unique structure of Time Lord biology, the Doctor had the ability to regenerate, to "cheat death. TV: The Parting of the Ways) A Time Lord was usually limited to twelve regenerations. TV: The Deadly Assassin, Mawdryn Undead, Doctor Who, The Time of the Doctor) The High Council of the Time Lords could influence regenerations, treating them as punishment ( TV: The War Games) and reward. TV: The Five Doctors, Utopia, The Time of the Doctor) At times, enemies coveted the Doctor's future regenerations and tried to take them for their own. TV: Mawdryn Undead, Doctor Who, Human Nature / The Family of Blood, The Witch's Familiar) The effect of regeneration on the Doctor in the time immediately following the event varied from incarnation to incarnation. In some cases, the Doctor regained their faculties quickly, erratic behaviour notwithstanding. TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Twin Dilemma, The Eleventh Hour) On one occasion when the regenerative process was postponed for a long time, he was rendered amnesiac. TV: Doctor Who) In most cases, the Doctor was incapacitated for a period of time before ultimately recovering. TV: Spearhead from Space, Robot, Castrovalva, Time and the Rani, The Christmas Invasion) There were also rare cases where the Doctor was able to delay regeneration from setting in for an extended period of time. The Tenth Doctor once did such to visit all of his past companions - though, after the long delay, the resulting energy release was catastrophic for the TARDIS. TV: The End of Time, Death of the Doctor) After gaining a new regenerative cycle, the Twelfth Doctor did something similar while trying to decide whether or not to regenerate. He called this period "a state of grace" where the Time Lord within the state would be briefly restored to health before weakening and must choose to either regenerate or die. Like the Tenth Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration was highly explosive as a result. TV: Twice Upon a Time) In contrast, the First Doctor 's regeneration into the Second Doctor, despite having delayed his regeneration like the Tenth and Twelfth Doctors, was not explosive at all. TV: The Tenth Planet) However, the Twelfth Doctor did delay the change further after the First Doctor left. TV: Twice Upon a Time) and the Tenth Doctor delayed it longer than the Twelfth, having managed to visit every single one of his previous companions before changing. TV: Death of the Doctor) Due to the regeneration into the War Doctor and the Tenth Doctor 's aborted regeneration, the Eleventh Doctor was actually the Doctor's last incarnation until the Time Lords gifted him with a new regenerative cycle at the end of that life. TV: The Time of the Doctor) It was unclear exactly how many regenerations he was given, the Twelfth Doctor stated that he himself was not sure and didn't rule out the possibility that his new cycle could be infinite as he stated he could now possibly regenerate forever. TV: Kill the Moon) Indeed, Rassilon, while threatening the Twelfth Doctor with his gauntlet, remarked to him "how many regenerations did we grant you? I've got all night. TV: Hell Bent) and when all of the incarnations, past and future, of the Doctor teamed up to help preserve Gallifrey from disaster as it slipped into a parallel pocket universe at the end of the Last Great Time War, there were enough of them that the sky was filled with "a blizzard of blue boxes. PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) Causes of regeneration Edit The First Doctor was weakened by Mondas as it drained Earth 's energy, succumbing to old age. TV: The Tenth Planet) He hesitated for a time to regenerate, fearing the change, entering "a state of grace" where he was briefly restored to health before he had to make a choice. Following an adventure with the Twelfth Doctor, the First Doctor chose to regenerate after seeing the man he would ultimately become. TV: Twice Upon a Time) The Second Doctor had regeneration forced upon him by the Time Lords as part of his punishment for breaking the Laws of Time; his appearance was chosen for him after he rejected all choices. TV: The War Games) Before he could change, however, he was picked out by the Celestial Intervention Agency to be their "hired gun. PROSE: World Game) and perform tasks. When he was done, he tried to run away, but eventually got caught and forced into regenerating. COMIC: The Night Walkers) The Third Doctor suffered radiation poisoning from the Great One 's web of Metebelis crystals, then got lost in the Time Vortex for a decade before returning to UNIT HQ. TV: Planet of the Spiders, PROSE: Love and War) The Fourth Doctor was severely injured after plummeting from the Pharos Project radio telescope. TV: Logopolis) The Fifth Doctor suffered exposure to unrefined Spectrox, sacrificing himself to give the bat's milk needed to cure it to Peri. TV: The Caves of Androzani) The Sixth Doctor was compelled to travel to the Lakertyan System by a mental impulse sent to him by an alternative future Sixth Doctor, in order to stop the Valeyard from stealing the lives of every Time Lord to ever exist. Upon arrival, his TARDIS was bombarded by radiation coming from Lakertya, radiation that was deadly to Time Lords. He died from exposure to said radiation. AUDIO: The Brink of Death) The Seventh Doctor was lightly injured after being caught in the middle of a gang war; his circulatory system was damaged by Grace Holloway during surgery to "fix" his abnormal heartbeat. TV: Doctor Who) The Eighth Doctor regenerated after he tried to help a pilot named Cass escape from a crashing ship. Cass refused his help however when she identified his ship as a TARDIS and therefore his being a Time Lord, who she despised because of the Time War. He died when the ship crashed but was revived temporarily by the Sisterhood of Karn, who not only offered to trigger his regeneration, they also offered him a choice on the characteristics of his next incarnation. TV: The Night of the Doctor) The " War Doctor " regenerated because his long-lived elderly body had grown precariously weak after spending an entire lifetime fighting in the Time War. The tipping point was at the end of the war when he helped to save Gallifrey from being destroyed by one billion-billion Daleks and place it in a different dimension. With the Time War concluded and his will to persist as that incarnation for as long it waged settled, his regeneration began before his vitality drained entirely. He remarked that his body was "wearing a bit thin. like his distant predecessor. TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Ninth Doctor removed the Time Vortex 's energy from Rose Tyler, channelling it back into the heart of the TARDIS. However, his brief possession of the energy very nearly destroyed his cellular structure completely. Because of the damage, he had to regenerate. TV: The Parting of the Ways) The Tenth Doctor was grazed by a shot fired from a Dalek's gunstick during their 2009 invasion of Earth. He used his regeneration energy to heal himself, but then syphoned off the rest of the regeneration into his extra hand to prevent transformation into another form. The regeneration energy stored in the hand allowed it to grow into another Doctor, when it came into contact with Donna Noble. TV: The Stolen Earth / Journey's End) The Tenth Doctor absorbed the radiation from a nuclear vault supply to spare Wilfred Mott. Unlike most of his predecessors, he held off the regeneration for a long time; the result was explosive damage to the TARDIS when he finally completed the process, that caused it to crash and regenerate itself. TV: The End of Time) The Eleventh Doctor spent centuries defending the town of Christmas, on the planet Trenzalore. Before his body succumbed to old age, the Time Lords granted him a new regeneration cycle, prompting his regeneration. His most destructive regeneration process yet, he destroyed several Daleks and their ship with the regeneration energy and restored his body to a younger form but did not immediately change him into his next incarnation. The change finally occurred shortly after he returned to the TARDIS. TV: The Time of the Doctor) The Twelfth Doctor was struck several times by Cyberman energy beams during the Battle of Floor 0507, requring him to regenerate. TV: The Doctor Falls) Upon awakening in the TARDIS, the Doctor again started to regenerate, but held it back, entering "a state of grace" during which he went on a final adventure with the First Doctor. After the adventure, the Twelfth Doctor regenerated explosively, severely damaging the TARDIS. TV: Twice Upon a Time) Parallel universes Edit In one parallel universe, Kate Stewart knew the Doctor as a man who went about annihilating "pathetic, pacifist aliens. AUDIO: False Negative) Rose Tyler was under the mistaken belief that the Doctor was a "one-off" across the multiverse. AUDIO: The Last Party of Earth) due to the fact that she could find no trace of them in several parallel universes including Pete's World, one whose Earth was doomed to extinction when its own sun was extinguished. AUDIO: The Endless Night) one whose Earth had been struck by extreme global warming believed to have been covertly caused by aliens. AUDIO: The Flood) one where SoulTech enabled the consciousness of deceased humans to live on in the soul machines. AUDIO: Ghost Machines) and one where the human race faced impending destruction at the hands of planetoid EK56. AUDIO: The Last Party of Earth) Behind the scenes Edit "Doctor Who" Edit The use of the name "Doctor Who" when referring to the Doctor is commonplace in the British media, the end credits of many episodes, and most prose and comic stories of the 1960s and 1970s. The ending credits for the series gave his name as "Doctor Who" or "Dr. Who" from 1963 until Logopolis part four, when incoming Doctor Peter Davison insisted upon a change in the credits of Castrovalva to "the Doctor" which remained in place until the end of the original series in 1989; executive producer Russell T Davies used "Doctor Who" when the series returned in 2005, but Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant asked to change it back to "the Doctor" beginning with The Christmas Invasion. Despite these insistences, both Davison and Tennant called the character "Dr. Who" in several different interviews, as is common for media and cast members. Especially in the 1960s and early 1970s, many stories referred to the Doctor as "Doctor Who. The Doctor Who annuals and Target Books novelisations frequently called him "Doctor Who" in titles and narration, though dialogue between characters usually used "the Doctor. In The War Machines, WOTAN directly referred to the Doctor as "Doctor Who" but most other usages of the name throughout the series' history were non-serious, such as the Second Doctor 's pseudonyms and K9 's jokes. In World Enough and Time, Missy told Bill Potts that the Doctor originally called himself "Doctor Who" the Twelfth Doctor told Bill that Missy was trying to wind her up, but never denied the claim. Main article: The Doctor's aliases#Doctor Who Casting Edit As of 2019, every actor to portray the Doctor on an ongoing basis has been Caucasian and born in the United Kingdom. Every actor until Jodie Whittaker had been male. Despite the fact that the Doctor is not a native of Britain, or of Earth for that matter, every actor to play them so far has had a British accent, much in the way most aliens in the Star Trek franchise tend to speak with an American accent. The type of British accent has varied from one incarnation to the next. The earliest incarnations used RP, whereas some of the more recent incarnations have had Estuary accents. The Ninth Doctor had a Northern accent, causing Rose to ask why an alien would have a Northern accent, to which he replied, Lots of planets have a north. TV: Rose) Both Sylvester McCoy and Peter Capaldi used their natural Scottish accents while playing the role, with the fact the Doctor sounds Scottish being used in dialogue plot points in (to date) TV: Deep Breath and Robot of Sherwood. The Thirteenth Doctor had a Yorkshire accent. TV: Twice Upon a Time [ additional sources needed] To date, the oldest actor to be cast as the Doctor has been John Hurt, who was 73; the youngest has been Matt Smith, who was 26 when cast. The oldest to be cast on an ongoing basis was Peter Capaldi, who was 55 when he was cast and began filming, and turned 56 during the production of Series 8. In 2014, Tom Baker turned 80 and continued to record new performances as the Doctor for Big Finish Productions ' Fourth Doctor Adventures audio dramas, making him the oldest actor to play the part in an officially licensed capacity. Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann, all in their sixties or seventies, also continue to portray the Doctor in licensed audio dramas produced by Big Finish, with McGann also appearing in audio dramas produced by Big Finish and BBC Radio for broadcast on BBC7 radio. In the 2000s and 2010s, Tom Baker also portrayed the Doctor in AudioGO 's Hornets' Nest, Demon Quest and Serpent Crest audio dramas. In the Sarah Jane Adventures episode Death of the Doctor Part 1, Daniel Anthony, who plays Clyde Langer, became the first non-Caucasian actor to play the Doctor, when Clyde's body is briefly taken over by the Eleventh Doctor 's consciousness. Anthony delivered a line of dialogue as the Doctor while impersonating Matt Smith 's voice. Owing to the brevity of the performance, and the fact he is playing an established incarnation, the fact Anthony was the first to break the barrier of skin colour is generally not recognised. Aged 22 at the time the episode was filmed, Anthony is also technically the youngest to play the part. Although the character is portrayed as white, there have been black actors who were considered for the role. Among them comedian Eddie Murphy back in 1996, David Harewood, Charles Venn, Paterson Joseph and Robbie Gee. Colin Salmon was a strong contender to play the Eleventh Doctor. source needed] Longest-serving Doctor Edit There are several different methods for calculating who was the "longest serving Doctor. The most commonsensical definition is simply that of the actor who played the role on television for the longest continuous period. This mantle goes to Tom Baker, who was the Fourth Doctor from June 1974 to March 1981, or 6 years, 9 months. Baker is also the longest-serving Doctor in terms of the number of individual episodes, total story count and amount of screen time. Thus he is generally considered to be the "longest-serving Doctor. But there are other methods of measurement — all of which exclude Dimensions in Time. For 92 of the 104 Saturdays that comprised 1964 and 1965, William Hartnell 's credit appeared after each episode of Doctor Who without fail. He did sometimes take a holiday and pre-film the odd insert, filming for all but six weeks in both 1964 and 1965. Peter Davison holds the record for the greatest length of time between his initial performance in the last episode of Logopolis, and Time Crash. The two events were separated by 26 years 8 months. Though he is not playing the same incarnation of the Doctor, Tom Baker 's appearance as the Curator in The Day of the Doctor as a possible future version of the Doctor could mean his tenure in the role was longer than Davison's by this measure, with the gap between the 50th Anniversary special's broadcast and Baker's first appearance being just 8 months short of 40 years. Colin Baker had the longest run between bookending regeneration scenes. The span from the premiere of The Twin Dilemma to his regeneration in The Brink of Death was approximately 31 years. Paul McGann was notionally the longest-serving incumbent in the role, as he debuted in May 1996 and Christopher Eccleston 's premiere didn't happen until March 2005. Being very generous, therefore, McGann was the "current Doctor" for a total of 8 years and 10 months. However, this is probably stretching a point, since obviously he was actually replaced not once but twice by the BBC. He effectively lost his incumbency once Richard E Grant was cast as the Shalka Doctor. McGann also has recorded by far the greatest amount of hours of Doctor Who audio stories. Previously, he had more performed material on audio and television combined than even Tom Baker, but in 2010, Baker began recording audio dramas for AudioGO and then Big Finish, and had reclaimed his title by 2015. The Eighth Doctor, though not McGann himself, is the longest-serving incumbent comic strip Doctor, in terms of the amount of time between his debut in Dreadnought on 1 June 1996, and his final appearance in The Flood on 2 March 2005. Call it 8 years and 9 months. The Tenth Doctor is the longest-serving comic strip Doctor, in terms of the total number of stories which featured his incarnation. This is primarily due to the number of different publications that were granted comic licences during David Tennant's tenure in the role. Most of this count is due to the prolific comic strip published in Doctor Who Adventures which, for most of Tennant's tenure, was a weekly publication that ran a new standalone story every issue. The situation with books is a very close battle between the Seventh and Eighth Doctors, both of whom had long-running series. However, the Eighth Doctor is the longest-running both in terms of time and number of books published. The issue of the longest-serving Doctor was a source of controversy on British game show The Million Pound Drop, which asked the question with the choices of McCoy, McGann, Eccleston, and Tennant; the team split their 650, 000 between McCoy and McGann, only to find out that the "correct" answer was Tennant. Once the error was discovered (partly since the question was fundamentally flawed due to the absence of Tom Baker) the team was brought back to continue where they left off with 325, 000 and ended up winning 25, 000. Analogous characters Edit There have been several characters outside the confines of the DWU which have been broadly modelled on general aspects of the Doctor. Such " pastiches " are examined in greater detail elsewhere. The Doctor's wives Edit Steven Moffat, in his production notes column in DWM 482, speculated that the Doctor's first spouse out of the four mentioned in the television story Death in Heaven was a woman who was married to the First Doctor for a long time on Gallifrey and bore the Doctor's children. He claimed "Mrs Who No 1" was never mentioned by the Doctor nor has he ever discussed her.

I tried watching it a few times, but by that time the series was about as old as I was and I just could not get into it. My (slightly) younger brother, on the other hand, developed a great love of the series and he and his best friend would talk about each episode with a joy I simply did not understand.
In all these years I have never watched an entire episode and here I sit tonight, some 30 years later, watching my first complete episode of 'Dr. Who' well, I actually missed the first 10 mins or so and didn't even realize it was 'Dr. Who' until I had watched 30+ mins of it! LOL. And... and... I really enjoyed it.
This is the 'new' Dr. Who series begun in 2005, and while I don't quite know if this is a re-telling of the original storyline begun in 1963 or if this is a continuation of the storyline from the series finale of 1989. I'm sure a bit of research will answer this question.
When I finally realized that I was watching 'Dr. Who' a flood of memories came rushing back. mostly of my brother (who, coincidentally, died a few months after the final episode of the original 'Dr. Who' series aired) and his best friend (who I haven't seen or heard from in 8 yrs or so) and their long talks and excited recitations of 'Who' dialog.
Now I have small sons myself, and while they are too young to watch 'Dr. Who' I wonder if they will come to love it as their uncle did. For me, I think I will find the first 4 seasons of this 'new' series and give it a shot. If it's as entertaining as tonight's episode I may become a 'Who' fan after-all.
Better late than never, eh.
