    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Julie Gardner has said that when David Tennant was approached to play the Tenth Doctor, he was immediately enthusiastic. His first response was to ask, "Can I have a long swishy coat?"
    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      The Eleventh Doctor: Bow ties are cool.

    • Crazy credits
      During the first series, Christopher Eccleston is credited as "Doctor Who", as set in the Classic Series. Beginning with the second series - reportedly at the behest of the show's new star, David Tennant - the credit has been changed to read "The Doctor".
    • Alternate versions
      In series 5, Amy has a prologue that only exists in syndicated versions and isn't present in the original UK airings. It doesn't appear on home media (DVD) either.

    Season 11 isn't Doctor Who
    Season 11 isn't Doctor Who and my rating reflects that. The writing for this latest season is weak. The stories are weak. It's so disappointing. My skepticism about a female Doctor was laid to rest at the feet of a poor effort. Perhaps a great female Doctor can be had (Missy was tremendous), but not with the current stories. What chance Whittaker had to make the first female Doctor stand out is buried.

    Such a shame.

    FAQ13

    • If it was a reboot and disregarded the classic series and the 1996 TV movie what would it have been?
    • Who is the Doctor?
    • What is the TARDIS? And why does it look like a 1960s police box?
