Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series produced by the BBC, first broadcast in 1963. It follows the adventures of the Doctor, a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, who travels through time and space in a time machine called the TARDIS. The TARDIS appears as a blue British police box but has a vast interior. The Doctor often travels with human companions, exploring historical and futuristic settings while combating various enemies like the Daleks and Cybermen. The series is notable for its concept of regeneration, allowing different actors to play the Doctor, each bringing a unique portrayal. From William Hartnell to Ncuti Gatwa, fourteen actors have played the role. The show has evolved from multi-part serials to standalone episodes with occasional multi-part stories. Its revival in 2005 introduced new characters and story arcs, maintaining its popularity as a landmark of British television. Doctor Who combines action, adventure, and science fiction, appealing to a wide audience.
