6/1/2023 0 Comments Doctor Who by Lance ParkinThis is probably one of the things that makes the show just so brilliant, and likely why it’s managed to stay on the air and quite so immensely popular for so long.Īfter its cancellation in 1989, it was off the air for a total of 17 years, with the exception of a pretty dreadful attempt of the BBC and Fox to re-launch the show with a TV movie in 1996, starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor. So far, eleven different actors have played the part of the Doctor, and while they are different ages, have different appearances and personalities, they are all aspects of the same character. This means that when the first actor playing the Doctor needed to be replaced, they were able to keep the show going without any major changes. When the Doctor dies, he regenerates into a new body. He has had a variety of companions through the years, mostly humanoid, although the majority seem to be young women of varying degrees of hotness. His time machine/space ship looks like a 1950s blue police box, and is quite a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside. The Doctor, a time travelling alien (a Time Lord) from the planet Gallifrey, travels though space and time, experiencing adventures and righting wrongs all over the Universe (but strangely seems to spend most of the time in his televised adventures on Earth). The British show ran for 26 seasons from 1963 until it got cancelled in 1989. “Doctor Who” is the longest running science fiction show in the world.
