The Doctor started running on 23 November 1963 and hasn't stopped since. Fifty years of adventure have given us hundreds of stories, at least 11 Doctors and more monsters you can shake a plunger at.
The programme is called Doctor Who while the character is just 'the Doctor.' That hasn't stopped the name of the show popping up. A lot.
- p. 56, and follows is a table of episodes with variations of people asking"Doctor .. who?"
I posted about this some time back! It was included with one of the Doctor Who books I reviewed, and the daughter was stoked, STOKED to get it. Do you know which of us is a through and through Whovian? ;)
I know Whovians out there are dying to get their hands on this one. It's chockful. I'm not in a position to fully appreciate it ... but I will, I will, give me time!

Oh my goodness...I feel completely out of the loop. I have NOT read nor watched Doctor Who. I'm afraid to get addicted to something I don't have the time for.
I have to say that I don't quite get it. Despite being a fan of science fiction, I have never seen an episode of Doctor Who. Come see what I am spotlighting this week at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
Oooh, that book looks awesome! I think I may need to grab myself a copy of this ;) Happy reading =D
