One of the greatest TV shows ever made - FACT!
It started in 1963, and was just as awesome back then, if not more.
The show has three (dead) spinoffs: Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Class.
Was cancelled in 1989, brought back in 2005 after the failed attempt in 1996. It also had a 30th anniversary special called 'Dimensions in Time
The show in short[edit]
A crazy old alien rides through time and space in a police box with young, mostly British ladies and changes his appearance to cheat death.
Who has played the Doctor?[edit]
In order of first to last:
- William Hartnell (1963–1966)
Hartnell's Doctor was not a mountain goat, he preferred walking to anyday and he hated climbing. If you don't follow his advice you may become a burnt cinder floating around in Spain.
- Patrick Troughton (1966–1969)
Troughton's Doctor was the priest that got pinned to the ground in the Omen. He also advised people against polishing floors and putting rugs on them, because that would be like setting a mantrap, you know. He also tried to destory The Goodies.
- Jon Pertwee (1970–1974)
Pertwee's Doctor sometimes went by the name "Worzel Gummidge". He was a very Spotty man and tried to destroy The Goodies, too.
- Tom Baker (1974–1981)
Tom Baker's Doctor had a second career as the narrator of a ton of commercials and Little Britain.
- Peter Davison (1982–1984)
Peter Davison is of no relation to the Formula One driver of a completely different name.
- Colin Baker (1984–1986)
Colin Baker never actually played the Doctor, just look at a recent picture of him, there's no way it's the same guy!
- Sylvester McCoy (1987–1989, 1996)
Sylvester McCoy's Doctor decided to give up time travelling and instead locked himself away in a small flat in Glasgow, where he stayed for 40-odd years before he had to move to another flat. Might still actually be there.
- Paul McGann (1996, 2013)
No-one knows how McGann's Doctor regenerated, McGann's regeneration was unfortunately, not the result of a bizarre accident involving a television set and a packet of Cream Crackers.
- John Hurt (2013)
Retroactively inserted into the lineup. Much like Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, he is an official incarnation of The Doctor, but isn't numbered because that would fuck everything up. He's covered wars and the other Doctors aren't proud of him. Probably didn't regenerate from an alien bursting out of his chest.
- Christopher Eccleston (2005)
Eccleston's Doctor was based on Wallace from the Wallace and Gromit films. He was fantastic and is now an (invisible) Heroes.
- David Tennant (2005–2010)
A transvestite barman. Also the first Doctor actor to be named after an alcoholic drink. Married his daughter IRL.
- Matt Smith (2010-2013)
Responsible for making bow ties cool and believes the TARDIS to be sexy. Known as the Tumblr Generation's Doctor.
- Peter Capaldi (2013-2017)
After being saved by David Tennant from the volcanic eruption in Pompeii, Caecillius became The Doctor himself.
- Jodie Whittaker (2018 - present)
The first woman to play this role.
