Doctor Who In Detail is a guide to the long running BBC Television programme Doctor Who. The first episode was broadcast in 1963, and the programme celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023, making Doctor Who the longest running science fiction television programme.
Fourteen actors have portrayed the role of the Doctor in the television series (excluding stand-ins) with David Tennant returning to the role as the Fourteenth Doctor in 2023. Ncuti Gatwa, the Fifteenth Doctor, recently completed his second series with a mysterious regeneration.
There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there is injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do.
