The programme depicts the adventures of a mysterious, humanoid alien known as the
Doctor who
travels through time and space in his spacecraft, the
TARDIS (an acronym for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), which normally appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s British
police box. With his
companions, he explores time and space, faces
a variety of foes and rights wrongs.
The programme is listed in
Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world,
[1] and as the "most successful" science fiction series of all time, in terms of its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, iTunes traffic and "illegal downloads."
[2] It has been recognised for its imaginative stories, creative low-budget
special effects during its original run, and pioneering use of
electronic music (originally produced by the
BBC Radiophonic Workshop).

History

^ Copyright Ian P Nelmes at doctorwhotoys.net Doctor Who is copyright BBC .
The
Head of Drama,
Sydney Newman, was mainly responsible for developing the programme, with the first format document for the series being written by Newman along with the Head of the Script Department (later Head of Serials)
Donald Wilson and staff writer
C. E. Webber. Writer
Anthony Coburn,
story editor David Whitaker and initial
producer Verity Lambert also heavily contributed to the development of the series.
[14] The series' title theme was composed by
Ron Grainer and realised by
Delia Derbyshire of the
BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
[15] The programme was originally intended to appeal to a family audience.
[16] The BBC drama department's Serials division produced the programme for 26 series, broadcast on
BBC One. Viewing numbers that had fallen (though comparably increased at some points), a decline in the public perception of the show and a less prominent transmission slot saw production suspended in 1989 by
Jonathan Powell, Controller of BBC One.

Public consciousness
The programme rapidly became a national institution in the United Kingdom, with a large following among the general viewing audience.
[22] Many renowned actors asked for or were offered and accepted
guest starring roles in various stories.
With popularity came controversy over the show's suitability for children. Moral campaigner
Mary Whitehouse repeatedly complained to the BBC in the 1970s over what she saw as the show's frightening or gory content;
[23] however, the programme became even more popular—especially with children.
John Nathan-Turner, who produced the series during the 1980s, was heard to say that he looked forward to Whitehouse's comments, as the show's ratings would increase soon after she had made them.
[24] During the 1970s, the
Radio Times, the BBC's
listings magazine, announced that a child's mother said the theme music terrified her son. The
Radio Times was apologetic, but the theme music remained.
.^ Ultra-explosive SN2002bj had about 1,000 times more energy than a typical Nova, though.
During
Jon Pertwee's
second season as the Doctor, in the serial
Terror of the Autons (1971), images of murderous plastic dolls, daffodils killing unsuspecting victims and blank-featured android policemen marked the apex of the show's ability to frighten children. Other notable moments in that decade included the Doctor apparently being drowned by Chancellor Goth in
The Deadly Assassin (1976) and the allegedly negative portrayal of Chinese people in
The Talons of Weng-Chiang (1977).
It has been said that watching
Doctor Who from a position of safety "
behind the sofa" (as the
Doctor Who exhibition at the
Museum of the Moving Image in London was titled) and peering cautiously out to see if the frightening part was over is one of the great shared experiences of British childhood. The phrase has become commonly used in association with the programme and occasionally elsewhere.

[25] The same report found that 3% of the surveyed audience regarded the show as "very unsuitable" for family viewing.
[26] However, responding to the findings of the survey in
The Times newspaper, journalist Philip Howard maintained that: "to compare the violence of
Dr Who, sired by a horse-laugh out of a nightmare, with the more realistic violence of other television series, where actors who look like human beings bleed paint that looks like blood, is like comparing
Monopoly with the property market in London: both are fantasies, but one is meant to be taken seriously."
[25]
The image of the
TARDIS has become firmly linked to the show in the public's consciousness. In 1996, the BBC applied for a
trademark to use the TARDIS' blue
police box design in merchandising associated with
Doctor Who.
[27] In 1998, the Metropolitan Police filed an objection to the trademark claim; in 2002 the
Patent Office ruled in favour of the BBC.
[28]
The programme's broad appeal attracts audiences of children and families as well as science fiction fans.

[31] In 2007,

Doctor Who is "quintessential to being British".
[4] The film director
Steven Spielberg has commented that "the world would be a poorer place without
Doctor Who."

The Key to Time or
Series 18's journey through
E-Space and the theme of entropy.
The programme was intended to be educational and for family viewing on the early Saturday evening schedule.

This was also reflected in the Doctor's original companions, one of whom was a science teacher and another a history teacher.
However, science fiction stories came to dominate the programme and the "historicals", which were not popular with the production team, were dropped after
The Highlanders (1967).

Following
The Gunfighters (1966), however, each serial was given its own title, with the individual parts simply being assigned episode numbers. What to name these earlier stories is often
a subject of fan debate.
Writers during the original run included
Terry Nation,
Henry Lincoln,
Douglas Adams,
Robert Holmes,
Terrance Dicks,
Dennis Spooner,
Eric Saward,
Malcolm Hulke,
Christopher H. Bidmead,
Stephen Gallagher,
Brian Hayles,
Robert Sloman,
Chris Boucher,
Peter Grimwade,
Marc Platt and
Ben Aaronovitch.
The serial format changed for the
2005 revival, with each series consisting of thirteen 45-minute, self-contained episodes (60 minutes with adverts, on overseas commercial channels), and an extended episode broadcast on Christmas Day. Each series includes several standalone and multi-part stories, linked with a loose story arc that resolves in the series finale. As in the early "classic" era, each episode—whether standalone or part of a larger story—has its own title.
.^ Each of the Superman series was so meticulously constructed that the energy of a full-length feature was often expended in production.

^ This “short” is quite a picture– it’s actually 16 minutes long (most cartoons run about seven ), a “two-reeler.” It was produced in Technicolor (so the color still looks good) and was released on November 27th (which is the day before Dr. Hal’s birthday) by Paramount, the Fleischers’ parent studio .
Missing episodes
Between about 1964 and 1974, large amounts of older material stored in the BBC's various video tape and film libraries were either destroyed
[38] or simply
wiped. This included many old episodes of
Doctor Who, mostly stories featuring the first three Doctors—
William Hartnell,
Patrick Troughton, and
Jon Pertwee. Following consolidations and recoveries the archives are complete from the programme's move to colour television (starting from Jon Pertwee's time as the Doctor), although a few Pertwee episodes have required substantial restoration; a handful have been recovered only as black and white films, and several survive in colour only as
NTSC copies recovered from North America (a few of which are domestic, off-air
Betamax tape recordings, not transmission quality). In all,
108 of 253 episodes produced during the first six years (most notably series 3, 4, & 5) of the programme are not held in the BBC's archives. It has been reported that in 1972 almost all episodes then made were known to exist at the BBC,
[39] whilst by 1978 the practice of wiping tapes had ended.
[40]
Some episodes have been returned to the BBC from the archives of other countries who bought copies for broadcast, or by private individuals who got them by various means. Early colour videotape recordings made off-air by fans have also been retrieved, as well as excerpts filmed from the television screen onto 8 mm
cine film and clips that were shown on other programmes. Audio versions of all of the lost episodes exist from home viewers who made tape recordings of the show.
In addition to these, there are off-screen photographs made by photographer
John Cura, who was hired by various production personnel to document many of their programmes during the 1950s and 1960s, including
Doctor Who. These have been used in
fan reconstructions of the serials. These amateur reconstructions have been tolerated by the BBC, provided they are not sold for profit and are distributed as low quality VHS copies.

The only portion of this in existence, barring a few poor quality silent 8 mm clips, is the few seconds of the regeneration scene, as it was shown on the children's magazine show
Blue Peter. With the approval of the BBC, efforts are now under way to restore as many of the episodes as possible from the extant material. Starting in the early 1990s, the BBC began to release audio recordings of missing serials on cassette and compact disc, with linking narration provided by former series actors. "Official" reconstructions have also been released by the BBC on VHS, on
MP3 CD-ROM and as a special feature on a DVD. The BBC, in conjunction with animation studio
Cosgrove Hall has reconstructed the missing Episodes 1 and 4 of
The Invasion (1968) in animated form, using remastered audio tracks and the comprehensive stage notes for the original filming, for the serial's DVD release in November 2006. Although no similar reconstructions have been announced as of 2007, Cosgrove Hall has expressed an interest in animating more lost episodes in the future.

[43]. Because of a malfunction of its

police box.

William Hartnell in 1966, it has continued to be a major element of the series, allowing for the recasting of the lead actor when the need arises.

In 1973's
The Three Doctors, William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton returned alongside Jon Pertwee. For 1983's
The Five Doctors, Troughton and Pertwee returned to star with Peter Davison, and Tom Baker appeared in previously unseen footage from the uncompleted
Shada episode. Patrick Troughton again returned in 1985's
The Two Doctors with Colin Baker. Finally, Peter Davison returned in 2007's
Children in Need short "
Time Crash" alongside David Tennant.
Despite these shifts in personality, the Doctor remains an intensely curious and highly moral adventurer who would rather solve problems with his wits than by using violence.
Throughout the programme's long history there have been controversial revelations about the Doctor. In
The Brain of Morbius (1976), it was hinted that the
First Doctor may not have been the first incarnation (although the other faces depicted may have been incarnations of the Time Lord Morbius). In subsequent stories, the
First Doctor has always been shown as the earliest incarnation of the Doctor.
During the
Seventh Doctor's era it was hinted that the Doctor was more than just an ordinary Time Lord. In the
1996 television movie, he describes himself as being "half human".
[47] The revelation has become controversial amongst series fans, given that there have been no references to the concept during the original or revived television series.
[48]
The 2005 series reveals that the
Ninth Doctor thought he was the last surviving Time Lord, and that his home planet had been destroyed. The very first episode,
An Unearthly Child, shows that the
Doctor has a granddaughter,
Susan Foreman; in "
The Empty Child" (2005), in response to Constantine's statement that "before this war began, I was a father and a grandfather. Now I am neither", the Doctor remarks, "Yeah, I know the feeling"; and in both "
Fear Her" (2006) and "
The Doctor's Daughter" (2008), he states that he had, in the past, been a father. Also in the latter, his cells are used to produce a daughter (played by
Georgia Moffett, the real-life daughter of
Fifth Doctor actor
Peter Davison) who is subsequently named
Jenny by Donna as a result of his describing her as "a generated anomaly".

Dramatically, the
companion characters provide a
surrogate with whom the audience can identify, and serve to further the story by requesting exposition from the Doctor and manufacturing peril for the Doctor to resolve. The Doctor regularly gains new companions and loses old ones; sometimes they return home or find new causes — or loves — on worlds they have visited. Some have even died during the course of the series.
Although the majority of the Doctor's companions have been young, attractive females, the production team for the 1963–1989 series maintained a long-standing taboo against any overt romantic involvement in the TARDIS. The taboo was controversially broken in the 1996 television film when the
Eighth Doctor was shown kissing companion
Grace Holloway.
.^ You have to look fast to see it– but we know some of you are lusting after cute lil’ cartoon characters– don’t deny it!
In "
Doomsday"
The Doctor says goodbye to Rose and is cut off saying "Rose Tyler..." In "
Journey's End" the "new doctor" that grew out of the "biological metacrisis" with
Donna Noble whispers what is implied as "I love you," in Rose's ear and tells her he would like to spend his life with her. The idea of a possible involvement was suggested again in "
Smith and Jones", when the
Tenth Doctor kisses his soon-to-be new companion
Martha Jones, although the Doctor insists that the kiss was simply for the purpose of 'genetic transfer'. In "
The Unicorn and the Wasp", the Doctor is kissed by
Donna Noble to shock him to neutralise a poison in his system, but again, a romantic purpose is unstated.
Previous companions reappeared in the series, usually for anniversary specials. One former companion,
Sarah Jane Smith (played by
Elisabeth Sladen), together with the robotic dog
K-9, appeared in
an episode of the 2006 series nearly 13 years after their last appearances in the 30th Anniversary story
Dimensions in Time (1993).

Adversaries
The
Daleks are perhaps the best-known adversaries faced by the Doctor.
When Sydney Newman commissioned the series, he specifically did not want to perpetuate the cliché of the "bug-eyed monster" of science fiction.
[55] However,
monsters were a staple of
Doctor Who almost from the beginning and were popular with audiences.

Russell T. Davies, executive director until 2009, stated that it had always been his intention to bring back classic
icons of
Doctor Who one step at a time: the Autons and the Daleks in series 1, Cybermen in series 2, the Macra and the Master in series 3, the Sontarans and Davros in series 4. He also stated that he was not finished and would continue reviving villains from the series' past.
[56] Since its 2005 return, the series has also introduced new aliens, including the
Slitheen, the
Ood and the
Judoon.
Daleks

Their chief role in the plot of the series, as they frequently remark in their instantly recognisable metallic voices, is to "Exterminate!" all beings inferior to themselves, even attacking the
Time Lords in the often referred to but never shown
Time War.
Davros, the Daleks' creator, became a recurring villain after he was introduced in
Genesis of the Daleks, in which the Time Lords send the Doctor back to destroy the Daleks, avert their creation, or tamper with their genetic structure to make them less warlike. Davros has been played by
Michael Wisher (first introduced in
Genesis of the Daleks),
David Gooderson (
Destiny of the Daleks), and
Terry Molloy. Davros returned to
Doctor Who portrayed by
Julian Bleach in the 2008 episodes "
The Stolen Earth" and "
Journey's End".

Cybermen
Cybermen were originally a wholly organic species of humanoids originating on Earth's
twin planet Mondas that began to implant more and more artificial parts into their bodies. This led to the race becoming coldly logical and calculating, with emotions usually only shown when naked aggression was called for. The 2006 series introduced a totally new variation of Cybermen created in a parallel universe by transplanting the brains of humans into powerful metal bodies, sending them orders using a
mobile phone network, and inhibiting their emotions with an electronic chip.

Other composers in this early period included
Richard Rodney Bennett,
Carey Blyton and
Geoffrey Burgon.
The most frequent musical contributor during the first fifteen years was
Dudley Simpson, who is also well known for his theme and incidental music for
Blake's 7, and for his haunting theme music and score for the original 1970s version of
The Tomorrow People. Simpson's first
Doctor Who score was
Planet of Giants (1964) and he went on to write music for many adventures of the 1960s and 1970s, including most of the stories of the Jon Pertwee / Tom Baker periods, ending with
The Horns of Nimon (1979). He also made a
cameo appearance in
The Talons of Weng-Chiang (as a
Music hall conductor).
All the incidental music for the 2005 revived series has been composed by Murray Gold and Ben Foster and has been performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales from the 2005 Christmas episode

Almost all of the original sound effects and audio backgrounds during the 1960s were overseen by the Radiophonic Workshop's
Brian Hodgson, who worked on
Doctor Who from its inception until the middle of Jon Pertwee's tenure in the early 1970s, when he was succeeded by
Dick Mills. Hodgson created hundreds of pieces of "special sound" ranging from ray-gun blasts to dinosaurs, but without doubt his best known sound effects are the sound of the TARDIS as it de-materialises and re-appears, and the voices of the
Daleks.
The basic audio source Hodgson used for the TARDIS effect was the sound of his house keys being scraped up and down along the strings of an old gutted piano, and played backwards. The famous Dalek voice effect was obtained by passing the actors' voices through a device called a
ring modulator, and it was further enhanced by exploiting the
distortion inherent in the microphones and amplifiers then in use.

The programme's popularity has waxed and waned over the decades, with three notable periods of high ratings.
[64] The first of these was the "
Dalekmania" period (circa 1964–1965), when the popularity of the Daleks regularly brought
Doctor Who ratings of between 9 and 14 million, even for stories which did not feature them.
[64][65] The second was the late 1970s, when Tom Baker occasionally drew audiences of over 12 million.
[64] During the
ITV network strike of 1979, viewership peaked at 16 million. Figures remained respectable into the 1980s, but fell noticeably after the programme's 23rd series was postponed in 1985 and the show was off the air for 18 months. Its late 1980s performance of three to five million viewers was seen as poor at the time and was, according to the BBC Board of Control, a leading cause of the programme's 1989 suspension. Some fans considered this disingenuous, since the programme was scheduled against the
soap opera Coronation Street, the most popular show at the time. After the series' revival in 2005 (the third noteworthy period of high ratings), it has consistently had high viewership levels for the evening on which the episode is broadcast.

From 1979 to 1981, TVO airings were bookended by science-fiction writer

The Talons of Weng-Chiang resulted in controversy for TVOntario as a result of accusations that the story was
racist. Consequently the story was not rebroadcast. CBC began showing the series again in 2005. The series moved to the Canadian cable channel

2004–05 NHL lockout which left vast gaps in CBC's schedule. For the Canadian broadcast, Christopher Eccleston recorded special video introductions for each episode (including a trivia question as part of a viewer contest) and excerpts from the

Adaptations and other appearances
Dr. Who movies
There are two "Dr. Who" cinema films:
Dr. Who and the Daleks, released in 1965 and
Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D. in 1966. Both are retellings of existing TV stories (specifically, the first two Dalek serials) on the big screen, with a larger budget and alterations to the series concept.
In these
films,
Peter Cushing plays a human scientist named "Dr. Who", who travels with his two granddaughters and other companions in a time machine he has invented. The
Cushing version of the character reappears in both comic strip and literary form, the latter attempting to reconcile the film continuity with that of the series.

Dead Ringers series. Culshaw's "Doctor" has telephoned four of the "real" Doctors—Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy—in character as the Fourth Doctor. In the 2005
Dead Ringers Christmas special, broadcast shortly before "
The Christmas Invasion", Culshaw impersonated both the Fourth and Tenth Doctors, while the Second, Seventh and Ninth Doctors were impersonated by
Mark Perry,
Kevin Connelly and
Phil Cornwell, respectively.
There have also been many references to
Doctor Who in popular culture and other science fiction franchises, including
Star Trek: The Next Generation ("The Neutral Zone", among others).

Awards
Although
Doctor Who was fondly regarded during its original 1963–1989 run, it received little critical recognition at the time. In 1975,
Season 11 of the series won a Writers' Guild of Great Britain award for Best Writing in a Children's Serial. In 1996, BBC television held the "Auntie Awards" as the culmination of their "TV60" series, celebrating sixty years of BBC television broadcasting, where
Doctor Who was voted as the "Best Popular Drama" the corporation had ever produced, ahead of such ratings heavyweights as
EastEnders and
Casualty.

Doctor Who was ranked third in a list of the
100 Greatest British Television Programmes of the twentieth century, produced by the
British Film Institute and voted on by industry professionals.

SFX magazine of "The Greatest UK Science Fiction and Fantasy Television Series Ever". Also, in the

The revived series has received particular recognition from critics and the public, across various different awards ceremonies. These include:
BAFTAs

Newman is often given sole creator credit for the series. Some reference works such as The Complete Encyclopedia of Television Programs 1947–1979 by Vincent Terrace erroneously credit Terry Nation with creating Doctor Who, because of the way his name is credited in the two Peter Cushing films.
Newman and Lambert's role in originating the series was recognised in the 2007 episode "Human Nature", in which the Doctor, in disguise as a human named John Smith, gives his parents' names as Sydney and Verity.
