It rather a popular cult science fiction series which has been running in the UK for a period of time stretching 40 years (with one break) and there has been 738 episodes. So the question is for those of you who have never heard of the show is who is this Doctor Who. The Doctor is an eccentric alien traveler of great intelligence who battles injustice while exploring time and space in an unreliable old time machine called the TARDIS, an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. The TARDIS is much larger on the inside than on the outside and, due to a malfunction of its Chameleon Circuit is stuck in the shape of a 1950s-style British police box. He is a Time Lords from the planet Gallifrey, As a Time Lord, the Doctor has the ability to "regenerate" his body when near death for a total of thirteen incarnations (although at least one Time Lord, The Master, has managed to circumvent this). To date, the Doctor has gone through this process and its resulting after-effects on nine occasions, with each of his incarnations having his own quirks and abilities but otherwise sharing the memories and experience of the previous incarnations. Notable adversaries of the include the Autons, the Cybermen, the Sontarans, the Zygons, the Sea Devils, the Silurians, the Ice Warriors, the Wirrn, the Yeti, Davros (the creator of the Daleks), the Master (a Time Lord with a thirst for universal conquest), and, most notably, the Daleks. the Slitheen, the Ood, and the Judoon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actors who have played the doctor.
