About Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a show that follows the adventures of a Timelord, who travels around the universe, and through time, in his space ship which is also a time machine called the TARDIS, with a companion righting wrongs, saving civilizations, and changing lives.
To date there have been eleven actors, in canon, to play The Doctor and there have also been a total of 32 seasons, as well as one feature length film. The Doctor (like many heroes) has his adversaries, including the famous, but dreaded Daleks, the Master, Cybermen, Autons and many more.
Doctor Who is one of the five top grossing titles for BBC Worldwide, the BBC’s commercial arm. BBC Worldwide CEO John Smith said that Doctor Who is one of the few “Superbrands” in the world to be supported almost everywhere.
Every year since the new series started in 2005, Doctor Who has won the award for the Best Drama at the National Television Awards, with Doctor number 10, David Tennant winning best actor, for his unforgettable portrayal of The Doctor from 2005-2010, before handing the torch over with his last words “I don’t want to go,” regenerating into the latest incarnation of The Doctor played by Matt Smith.
Aside from the TV series there is now an extravagant live show, a tour of the UK, coming to Scotland, at the Glasgow SECC. Also there are downloadable adventure games from the BBC official website, enabling you to take part in The Doctor’s adventures.
Previous seasons of Doctor Who going back to the 1960’s are available on DVD and as well as the new adventures being written for television there are also critically acclaimed audio dramas available starrring the voices of the original TV cast.
