The adventures of The Doctor, a time-traveling humanoid alien known as a Time Lord. He explores the universe in his TARDIS, a sentient time-traveling spaceship. Its exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. Along with a succession of companions, The Doctor faces a variety of foes while working to save civilizations, help ordinary people, and right many wrongs.

Wobbly sets and rubber monsters that somehow become MORE charming with age.

Acting
Seven distinct Doctors, each a completely different flavor of chaotic cosmic dad.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The BBC literally wiped several 60s episodes to reuse the tape — some remain lost forever, making surviving episodes practically sacred artifacts.
Verity Lambert, the show's first producer, was the youngest and only woman at BBC Drama — she fought to keep the Daleks despite executives calling them 'absolutely ridiculous.'

Reactions from the web
"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do."

God I really wasn't expecting McCoy and Ace in the end!

“There are worlds out there where the sky is burning...” One of the best seasons of Classic Who in my honest opinion. ‘Battlefield’ is underrated. ‘Ghost Light’ is a confusing one but good at the same time. ‘The Curse of Fenric’ is amazing. And ‘Survival’ is a fitting bookend to 26 years of travelling in space and time.
