Doctor Who is a cult BBC science-fiction TV series in the UK. Children and adults
love watching it! It’s about the adventures of an alien Time Lord. Her name is the Doctor. She
looks human, but she isn’t. She has a special power: she can travel in time. She travels the
Universe in her spaceship – the TARDIS. The TARDIS has a secret: on the outside it’s a
small, blue telephone box, but inside it’s an enormous spaceship!
The Doctor is brave and intelligent. She loves travelling to distant parts of the
Universe and she likes meeting new civilizations. She often helps them to fight their enemies
and resolve dangerous situations. Sometimes she travels into the past and sometimes she
travels into the future. The Doctor also likes being with young people and she always has
teenage friends with her. They help in her adventures. Her enemies are the Daleks, the
Cybermen and the Zygons. The Doctor hates them, but Doctor Who fans love these monsters
and baddies!
The Doctor Who science-fiction series is over 50 years old, but British people still
love it. Why is it popular? Fans say because it combines different types of TV programmes –
fantasy with science fiction, comedy with action – and it’s always exciting. Every few years a
new actor arrives to play the Doctor and this is an important part of the story – every fan has
their favourite Doctor! Jodie Whittaker is the actress playing the Doctor now, after replacing
actor Peter Capaldi in 2017. She is the first woman to play this character and the thirteenth
Doctor.
