To My Followers Who Don’t Know What Doctor Who Is…
…I can understand why you’d be confused. What is Doctor Who? What Genre? Is it a medical show? Who is Doctor Who? Is he a Mr. Who that is a Doctor? And why are there 3 (or more) of him? And why do the supporting characters keep changing?
I will try my best to elaborate on my favorite show briefly.
Doctor Who is a British murder mystery, a science fiction, comedy, fantasy, medical show, crime-scene drama, historical fiction, romance, fairy tale, musical, and sitcom.
Sometimes it is about creatures from another world, sometimes it is about the love between the main characters, other times it’s a story about family, and occasionally it is about Shakespeare.
The main character is a ridiculous man called The Doctor (just The Doctor). He has no name. That is the reason for the show’s title.
“Hello, I’m The Doctor.”
“Doctor who?”
He is a time traveler and an alien. When he dies, he gets a new body. He is currently on his 11th life (he typically gets younger with each regeneration).
NINE
TEN
ELEVEN
He gets very lonely, because his planet is destroyed, and he is the last of his kind. He makes friends, often referred to as his companions, and travels with them. The most recent are Rose Tyler (whom he fell in love with but lost), Captain Jack (a bisexual con-man from the future), Martha Jones (a friend who fancied him, but he did not reciprocate), Donna Noble (his absolute best friend in the universe), Amy Pond (who thought The Doctor was her imaginary friend when she was little), Rory Williams (Amy’s boyfriend now husband), and River Song (no one knows who she is). Currently he travels with Amy and Rory, with River showing up occasionally.
[The (tenth) Doctor and Rose ^]
Oh and his spaceship/time machine is a bigger-on-the-inside British Police Public Call Box from the 1960’s called the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space)
That was a VERY brief summary. Season 1 starts with Nine, Season 2 through 4 is Ten, and Season 5 and 6 so far is Eleven. It is a very funny, touching show and I encourage you to give it a shot (with an open mind, because it is VERY strange, I’ll admit it).

Just to let everyone know, this isn’t a Doctor Who confession. It is a Doctor Who declaration.

Somebody call for a doctor?
I accidentally spell Nine, Ten, and Eleven with capital letters.
