About

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series that has been broadcast by the BBC since 1963. The show 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, allowing the Doctor to explore various eras and locations. The series is known for its creative storytelling and the concept of regeneration, which allows the Doctor to change appearance when nearing death, thus enabling different actors to play the role over the years. The show features a variety of companions who join the Doctor on these adventures, often humans who share in the Doctor's fascination with Earth. Throughout its run, Doctor Who has introduced iconic villains like the Daleks and Cybermen. The series initially ran from 1963 to 1989 and was revived in 2005, leading to a new era of storytelling and characters. The show has become a cultural phenomenon, inspiring numerous spin-offs, novels, and audio dramas. Its enduring popularity stems from its blend of science fiction, adventure, and timeless themes of friendship and heroism.
