Ah, the wondrous sound of the most fantastical creation ever to come from the minds of Sydney Newman, C. E. Webber, and Donald Wilson. It is a noise recognizable anywhere to fixated fans of any age, gender, or nationality, as well as being the identifying characteristic of the world’s longestrunning sciencefiction television show.
Doctor Who is sweeping people off their feet into the magical world of the Doctor and his time and space traveling machine, the TARDIS.
Ever since the show’s first air date on November 23rd, 1963, the show was destined for success. Featuring a mysterious Time Lord, his TARDIS, three fascinated companions, and their struggle for survival during the Stone Age, this show kept its viewers on edge so much that the show is still running today!
Why are people so in love with this quirky character and his animated tagalongs?
Perhaps it’s the temporary thrill of the escape from real life, the extraordinary passion the Doctor has for keeping Earth safe from evil aliens, or the extreme relatability of the Doctor’s companions. Maybe it is the dangerous yet exciting adventures the characters embark on, the eccentric personality of the Doctor, or the sense of wonder each episode strikes in the hearts of its viewers. Whatever the reason may be,
Doctor Who has put its mark upon many a viewer.

These are only some questions that this epic show leads you to ask yourself. Prospective viewers will ask themselves these same questions as this brilliant TV show, like none other, thrives in the future as it has in
