DOCTOR WHO



The program Doctor Who ran on the BBC from 1963 to 1989. Doctor Who travels through time and space in a old telephone box solving mysteries and battling aliens. Historical allegory often compels the narrative. The Doctor has been portrayed by ten different actors. The last two doctors are the contemporary versions, which some fans consider to be a bit crap. My favorite doctor is Tom Baker, the eccentric scarf-wearing 4th doctor. From 1974 to 1981, Tom Baker's doctor worked from great scripts and fought monsters made of tin foil and bubble wrap. Some scoff at the cheap sets and homemade villains, but for me, this is the charm of the series, a DIY aesthetic. It makes you feel like you could do this this at home with the proper inclination. And you should.

Episodes on Youtube - May I recommend the Tom Baker adventures- The Ark in Space or The Sontaran Experiment?
