Review of Doctor Who

Doctor Who (1963–1989)
10/10
Doctor Who, one of the best?
28 September 2006
Doctor Who, the worlds longest running sci-fi television programme. it ran from 1963 - 1989, came back in 1996 for a made for television movie before triumphantly returning last year. For nearly 43 years the good doctor has enthralled millions of viewers, fighting the evils of the universe, not bad for a programme that was only supposed to last for 13 weeks. i've been fortunate enough to have seen every surviving episode and can honestly say that i've enjoyed them all, and i think it's great credit to the writers that every single story is different and they've never repeated in content after all this time. what an idea re-generation was! it has without doubt ensured the longevity of the programme, and kept it unique as no doctor has been the same all 10 t.v. doctors have brought something new to the role and kept the programme fresh. the enemies the doctor has faced have also been a big part of the show's success especially the Daleks. the Daleks were single handedly responsible for keeping at least 3 generations of kids behind their sofa's, and have become a massive pop culture. all in all doctor who will go down in the annuls of time as one of the greatest t.v. programmes of all time, and long may it continue. well done the BBC! doctor who is worth the price of the license fee alone!!
