Doctor Who

Ah... The beloved tv series Doctor Who. For those who don't know what Doctor Who is, you're missing out. It's been on for fifty years and they started it up again in 2005. It's about a man called Doctor, who is an alien, a Time Lord, from the planet Gallifrey. He travels through time and space in a blue box called the Tardis. It stands for Time And Relevant Dimensions In Space. He has different companions through his life. And if you're wondering, no he's immortal. Sort of. He regenerates. You see, if the Doctor gets injured badly or is about to die, he regenerates, becoming a new man with new personalities and looks. Doctor Who is a british tv series, so you might hear a few words you haven't heard before (unless you're british) like torch instead of flashlight, lift instead of elevator and so on. They have the entire series (including the originals, but you don't have to watch them if you don't want to) on Netflix. The Doctor and his companions travel to distant lands and times meeting new (and some famous) faces and species. Each time the Doctor regenerates, we don't call him by his actor name, we call him by how many times he has regenerated. For example, in the original series Tom Baker plays the 4th Doctor because he (the Doctor) has regenerated four times. The Doctor also has catch phrases like "Fantastic!" —Ninth Doctor "Jelly Baby?" —Fourth Doctor and so on. And Doctor Who fans are called Whovians. And you do not— absolutely do not abbreviate Doctor Who to 'Dr Who'. You can buy Doctor Who merchandise online, basically if you type in Doctor Who and click 'shopping' you'll get a bazillion things. I absolutely recommend Doctor Who to EVERYONE I give it a million stars.
