Welcome to Doctor Who In Detail
Welcome to the newly regenerated Doctor Who In Detail, a guide to Doctor Who, the long running science fiction series from BBC Television. Since Doctor
Who started in 1963 ten actors have played the title role of the Doctor, with an eleventh coming soon in 2010. The Doctor, a Time Lords from the planet Gallifrey, travels through time and space in his TARDIS, often with
companions, and has battled many creatures throughout time, including
Daleks and
Cybermen.
As well as television programmes there are also a range of original novels and full cast audio adventures, as well as short stories appearing in Doctor Who annuals. Not all adventures have survived since the first episode, but those that have are being released on DVD.
