Doctor Who

Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series produced by the BBC. The programme depicts the adventures of a mysterious alien time-traveller known as “the Doctor” who travels in his space and time-ship, the TARDIS, which normally appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s police box. With his companions, he explores time and space, solving problems, facing a variety of foes and righting wrongs.

Doctor Who from 1960s - present

Dr Who started with a very low budget. The cardboard sets made it famous for many years at it was all story line and very little money. But during the 60s and 70s it earned itself a cult following. When it was axed in 1989 it looked like it was gone forever. Then with a few glimpses in 1996 another nine years later it had a massive budget and a full revival and now is one of the BBCs most treasured programmes. Doctor Who has received recognition from critics with the BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series in 2006.
