What is Doctor Who, how it is still coming out after 60 years and why anyone can join
On this date, but in 1963, the BBC premiered the opening episode of its new “educational series”. During its first years, Doctor Who set the foundations that still support the series: We follow the “Doctor”, an alien in human formof a race called “Time Lords“(Lords of Time), who has a machine that travels through time and space and visits different times and planets trying to fix errors caused by a huge gallery of villains.
The mechanics are just an excuse to explore our own world. As an external, the Doctor learns from humanity at the same time that It spreads values where bravery and kindness are the axis. At the same time, their companions of the earth What they teach him forms a communion that highlights everything we can be. The Doctor does not solve things with weapons or violenceintelligence and desire to “discover what keeps evil at bay” They are all you need.
The secret of his longevity came in 1966. The advanced age of the main actor, William Hartnell, led the producers to decide whether to cancel the series or find a solution. From there came one of the most intelligent ideas in fiction: from that moment on, The Doctor’s race possesses the power of “regeneration”for which When you die your body transforms into a new one. but keeping their memories.
Thus a universe of possibilities opened up. Every few years, when an actor decided to retire of the character, the series simply I would write a farewell story and replace it with the next one. Until now, 13 actors and one actress they played the Doctor, plus some alternative versions and comebacks.
The nature of constant change who got the series too It allowed different generations of fans to join at different times of their history, each with “their era” and “their Doctor”. When a Doctor changes (especially in recent decades) the first episode of the new one is usually written as a “relaunch” of the seriesexplaining the basic principles again so that anyone can join from there.
