Doctor Who is a fictional TV series that had been running in the UK since the 1960s. It features the extraterrestrial Doctor, who time travels across the Universe. The Doctor lives and travels in the TARDIS, which appears from the outside as a blue police box, but inside it is much bigger.

The Doctor appears in many physical forms, due to the fictional device of regeneration whereby the Doctor can transform when their current body is too damaged to heal. The Doctor has always been a man, but has recently regenerated into a female form. She is the first female Doctor, and she is great.

When was the first episode of Doctor Who?

The first episode of Doctor Who aired on television on November 23, 1963. The first episode was advertised as a new television series of adventures in time and space. Doctor Who was on television until 1989 and had a television film in 1996. It returned to television in 2005 due to its popularity.

Why does the Doctor always have companions?

The Doctor always has companions because they knew the Doctor’s secret and were non-human beings who traveled in space and time. The Doctor’s companions often saved the Doctor or gave the Doctor a different perspective on a situation. The companions were sometimes the reason that the Doctor sacrificed their current life to regenerate.

Who are Doctor Who’s greatest villains?

The Doctor Who’s greatest villains include The Master, who is Doctor’s Moriarty who are opposite of one another, the Time Lords who are the grandfathers of the universe, and the Silence who can erase themselves from someone’s memory. Other Doctor Who’s villains include Cybermen, Daleks, Davros, and Scaroth.

Daleks
Size comparison drawings of Daleks comparing the heights of other related Doctor Who characters

Daleks are the archenemies of the Doctor in the BBC’s long-running science-fiction television show, Doctor Who. They first appeared on our screens in 1963. The Daleks look robotic but are instead genetically engineered mutants encased in a metal armor. The mutants survive due to the life-support system inside the armor and can control their language, communication and movement from inside. They are equipped with a mechanical roving eye, and a laser arm. The Dalek race are very powerful, but they can be beaten. Their eye is their weakness.

Daleks have a range of heights between 5’-6’6” (1.52-1.98 m).

The Doctor appears but leaves almost immediately; instead of returning five minutes later like he promised, he reappears 12 years later. Amy Pond is often accompanied by her fiancé, Rory Williams. The two later marry and have a child together, Melody Pond. Melody is later revealed to be recurring Doctor Who character (and the Doctor’s love interest) River Song.

River Song

River Song is a character in the BBC science-fiction show, Doctor Who. She first appears on our screens in 2008, but she claims to have met the Doctor many times before. To gain the Doctor’s trust, she whispers his real name in his ear, which he only would have shared with those closest to him. It becomes clear that River Song and the Doctor’s timelines are interconnected, but they meet over the years out of sync with one another. River Song was first played by Alex Kingston, but she has also been portrayed by five other actresses. It is later revealed that River Song is Melody Pond, daughter of future companion Amy Pond. Melody was conceived in the TARDIS and thus is part Time-Lord and is capable of regeneration.

River Song is portrayed by Alex Kingston with a height of 5’7” (1.70 m).

TARDIS
Scaled height comparison illustrations of the TARDIS in relation to other Doctor Who characters

The TARDIS is a time machine used by The Doctor, in the long-running science-fiction television show, Doctor Who. The name is an acronym, short for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It amazes people when they first enter, because it is bigger on the inside. We rarely see other rooms inside the TARDIS except the control centre, but it is rumored to contain thousands of rooms including sports courts, libraries and even a swimming pool. From the outside, the TARDIS looks like an old police box which used to be a common sight in 1920s Britain. Nobody ever notices it though because of a perception filter surrounding it; it blends into its environment.

The TARDIS has a height of 10’ (305 cm) and a width and depth of 5.04’ (153.5 cm). It is much bigger on the inside.
