50 Years of Doctor Who

Cybermat47 · 12-30-12, 02:40 PM

On November 23, 1963, the first episode of Doctor Who was shown on the BBC. The show was about a mysterious traveller in time and space known only as the Doctor, who could change everything about him when near death to survive, and his time machine, the TARDIS, which looked like a London police box on the outside, but was a colossal space ship inside. The show was moderately successful at first, but ratings skyrocketed during the second serial, where the Doctor met his most famous and deadliest foes-the Daleks.
The show ran, amazingly, from 1963 to 1989, by which time eight actors had played the Doctor's seven incarnations. The show briefly returned in 1996 as a TV movie, but only returned as a weekly TV show in 2005, when the BBC finally realised what utter jerks they had been to cancel the show. Doctor Who is more popular than ever these days, and shows no signs of being cancelled anytime soon!

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
