Doctor Who: An Experience for All Generations


(Changing logos over the years)
What is Doctor Who, you ask?
Doctor Who, a BBC television series beginning in 1963, tells the story of a 900 year old time traveling alien, a part of the species called "Time Lords", who calls himself "The Doctor".  His spaceship, also a time machine resembling a British Police Call Box from the 1960s, is called the TARDIS, short for 'Time and Relative Dimension in Space'. He travels around the universe with 'companions', which are generally people he meets and invites to come along with him. He aims to travel the universe to see the past and future, but in the process helps right the wrongs, and save civilizations. He faces many foes over the years, losing people he cares about, and coming close to defeat. This series tells of his journey- not just his adventure, but his journey to feeling human. One interesting fact about The Doctor is that when he dies, he can rewrite every cell in his body, changing his DNA, which produces an entirely different body. His personality changes, but he still retains all of his memories. There have been a total of ten "regenerations", resulting in eleven actors portraying The Doctor in the past 50 years.
