Storyline

The Doctor, a Time Lord/Lady from the race whose home planet is Gallifrey, travels through time and space in their ship the T.A.R.D.I.S. (an acronym for Time and Relative Dimension In Space) with numerous companions. From time to time The Doctor regenerates into a new form (which is how the series has been running since the departure of the original actor, William Hartnell, in 1966). Written by Chris Wright

Trivia

Several British politicians praised the Doctor's sex change in 2017, including Prime Minister Theresa May, who said she was "pleased" by the decision, and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who said "Lovely day with my niece on her 11th birthday. This was one of her pressies - girls can be anything, even Dr Who!". Labour's Harriet Harman had said earlier in the year: "Of course there should be a female Doctor Who but what we need is a man as her assistant. She has got to just tell him what to do, he will need that leadership." Even former Labour leader Ed Miliband tweeted to criticize Peter Davison, who had questioned the casting of a woman in the role. See more »
