What are your thoughts on doctor who? Never seen the show but all I know is time travel

well since you haven't seen the show I can't really elaborate on all my thoughts because spoilers but it's a good show it's good sometimes it's GREAT sometimes it's just no don't do that then it's good again and I'm very very excited for the new special and series

i've watched it since nuwho started back when the first episode rose aired in 2005 so there have been many times where it's just been an event the kind you had to be there the feeling of certain moments have always stuck with me so i'm always gonna watch it always looking forward for it just a massive constant in my life and its really enjoyable (definitely not sad or heartbreaking it's definitely not traumatised me at all hahahahahahahaha)

since you haven't seen it and incase you do want to watch it i'll just give you a rundown of it below (although something's aren't necessarily the full truth because spoilers)

so it's a BBC show originally from the 90s then it stopped and they decided to revive it back in 2005 and it's been going strong ever since (there's been 13 seasons and many many specials) this year in november it's the 60th anniversary since the first episode aired!!

so it's about the doctor, who is a timelord from a planet called gallifrey and he steals a tardis to go travel in time and space, he generally travels with a companion who's human and wherever he goes there's always some kind of danger

as a timelord he doesn't die he regenerates into a new version and that was the appeal really and why its gone on for so long because you could change actors and still be doctor who

(but a timelord has only 13 regeneration cycles before he actually does die die)

so when they revived the show in 2005 they made the premise that it's still the same doctor just a new regeneration (it was the 9th one) but what had happened was a great time war in which gallifrey and the timelords were all destroyed so now the doctor is the last of the timelords

so with doctor who you have the seasons and then christmas special which is generally when the regeneration happens (sometimes there's other specials too)

I would say you have to watch in order but you can categorise the show into different eras based on the actor playing the doctor and the showrunner at the time

Christopher Eccleston = S1

David Tennant = christmas special, S2, christmas special, S3, christmas special, S4, christmas, few other specials, then christmas and new years 2 part special

^ this is the rtd era (russell t davies) who was the showrunner and oversaw the story

Matt Smith = S5, christmas special, S6, christmas special, S7, ‼️, christmas special

Peter Capaldi = S8, christmas special, S9, christmas special, S10, christmas special

‼️ is the 50th anniversary special which was a crossover of david tennant and matt smith

Jodie Whittaker = s11, new year's special, s12, new year's special, s13, 2022 specials

^this is the steven moffat era as he was the showrunner

and now rtd is back as showrunner so for 2023 we're gonna have the 60th anniversary special which brings back david tennant and then in 2024 there a new series with ncuti gatwa as the doctor it's very exciting!!

^this is the chris chibnall era as he was the showrunner

OH there have also been spin offs so there's:

the sarah jane adventures 😭 its about sarah jane and her son and she's a companion from the 90s (same actress) they did a crossover during david tennant era but she sadly passed away so the show stopped

there's also torchwood which is based in cardiff and it features a team by captain jack harkness (companion from season 1) it was good then it wasn't but it might be getting a revival

and there was class it was one season I forgot what it was about lol but I remember liking it

making a list of the companions is even longer so I'm gonna stop here but if I've confused you I'm sorry pls come back and I'll answer anything I can or if you want any trivia lol that too :)

#the 60th anniversary is in november so you kinda have until then to watch it all if you wanted #but im not a binger myself tbf #what becomes of curious minds*#nonnie :)
