British TV: Doctor Who

Time for a little bit of travel:
There are some things the British are proud of. One of which is Doctor Who. Doctor Who is the longest, continually running Sci-Fi show. It’s been on air since 1963. The show centers around a nine-hundred year old alien called The Doctor. No-one but River Song (that’s a girl) knows his real name. The Doctor, and all other Time Lords (his race) can regenerate to avoid death, which in the real world means that a new actor takes over the character. There have been 11 different Doctors,the current one is being played by Matt Smith.

The Doctor Takes around companions on his travel. Oh, yeah, forgot to tell you. The Doctor has a TARDIS. TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space. The TARDIS is a time machine, which is in the shape of a British Police Box.

Doctor Who was first aired on November 23, 1963. The show failed out by 1989, and was turned into a radio show. In 2003, Russel T. Davies started the TV series up again. The First episode of the new series, “Rose” aired on BBC, on March 26 2005. The 6Th series of the new series comes out on Easter weekend of this year (!).
How is this travel? Doctor who goes everywhere, from London, England, Modern day, to Pompeii on Volcano day. From watching Doctor Who, you learn history, and about the dangers of the future. It’s an amazing show.
I suggest you watch it. now.
