Doctor Who – Who Played Who?

Doctor Who is a British sci-fi television programme created by the BBC in 1963. The programme depicts the adventures of a Time Lord known as "the Doctor," an alien being that seems to be almost human in appearance. The main character is the Doctor, who can regenerate rapidly to recover from injuries. However, this is not entirely supernatural as the Doctor also possesses some mental link to the universe, so he can always be "retrieved" should his own life be endangered.

Doctor Who is one of the most popular Doctors in the history of British television. He has created several characters that have become beloved by millions across the world. This Doctor was played by David Tennant, who played the classic character of the Doctor Who that was seen in the original TV series. He was a Time Lord, a Time Lady, and an alien. Other than these three, the Doctor can regenerate on other planets and change his appearance at will. Doctor Who continues to be one of the most popular and long-running TV programmes in the world. The latest generations have proven to be some of the most popular, even beating out the recent movie series. Who knows, it may just continue to go up in popularity until the release of another season, which would make this a massive feat for a show to accomplish.
