Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a long-running British science fiction
television programme produced by the BBC about a mysterious
time-travelling adventurer known only as "The Doctor". It is
also the title of a 1996 television movie featuring the same
character. It is common to see the show's title abbreviated as
Dr. Who.
The programme is a significant part of British popular culture,
widely recognised for its creative storytelling and use of
innovative music (originally produced by the BBC Radiophonic
Workshop). It is also known for its innovative use of low-budget
special effects for most of its history. Elements of the
programme are extremely well known and identifiable even to
non-fans.
In Britain and elsewhere, the show has become a cult
television favourite on a par with Star Trek and has influenced
generations of British television writers, many of whom grew up
watching the series. Doctor Who was ranked third in a list of
the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes of the 20th
century, produced by the British Film Institute in 2000 and
voted on by industry professionals. In 2005, the series came
first in a survey by SFX magazine of "The Greatest UK Science
Fiction and Fantasy Television Series Ever".
After a long period off screen, a new series of Doctor Who
started in 2005, continuing the programme from the original
1963?1989 run and the 1996 television movie. Produced in-house
by BBC Wales with some development money contributed by the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), the 2005 series has
concluded in the United Kingdom, and the programme will be
returning for a Christmas special later in the year, followed by
a second and third series (including a second Christmas special
in 2006).
