[[William Hartnell]] was the first actor to portray [[the Doctor]] on ''[[Doctor Who]]''.  For many, his remains the definitive portrayal of the character, and elements of his portrayal are evident in the performances of all his successors on the television series.
 
Hartnell was born in [[Wikipedia:St Pancras, London|St Pancras]], [[London]], [[England]] in [[1908]], the only child of an unmarried mother, and raised primarily by his aunt Bessie (Wood, 208). Hartnell never discovered the identity of his father (whose particulars are left blank on the birth certificate) and, despite efforts made by Hartnell in later years, was never traced. Often known as Billy, he was educated at home and at Imperial Service College. After training as a jockey, and boxer, he studied acting at the Italia Conti Academy and entered the theatre in [[1924]] working under [[Wikipedia:Frank Benson|Frank Benson]]. The first of more than sixty film appearances was ''Say It With Music'' in [[1932]]. Hartnell usually played comic characters, until [[1944]] when he was cast in the robust role of sergeant Ned Fletcher in ''[[Wikipedia:The Way Ahead|The Way Ahead]]''. From then on his career was defined by playing mainly [[policemen]], [[soldier]]s, and thugs &mdash; although he was noted for his ability to bring complexity to such roles, for example his widely praised performance as Dallow in ''[[Wikipedia:Brighton Rock|Brighton Rock]]''.

Welcome to the Tardis! We've regenerated.
This is the main wiki for the beloved BBC action-adventure and science-fantasy franchise Doctor Who... alongside spin-offs like Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Class, and so many others.

We've now gone independent! See announcement for details.
112,549 articles • 3,696,071 edits
Your cosmic joyride awaits
Following the 60th anniversary specials and The Church on Ruby Road, the TARDIS is now home to Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday, still under the watchful eyes of Russell T Davies's Bad Wolf crew. Click below to find out more!
New to Who?

Intimidated by the long history of Doctor Who? No need. You'll be able to jump right in with the next season, come springtime, and enjoy it as a brand new show! These four concepts are probably all you'll actually need.


If you want to know more, check out our guides on Doctor Who!
Explore the Whoniverse!
Doctor Who isn't the only series set in the Whoniverse to air on TV. Check out some others!

Doctor Who is a "family franchise", which means there's something in it for all ages.
It does not mean that all content is appropriate for all ages.

There's more than just TV

You can certainly choose to enjoy Doctor Who as purely a television series. But did you know that there are far more stories told in the comic and audio form than exist in the whole television catalogue? Luckily, there's no such thing as canon in this fandom. So you can enjoy exactly the kind of Doctor Who you prefer. And we'll be here to cover it all!

Take a trip in the memory TARDIS!
Tales of the TARDIS logo 2.jpg

Tales of the TARDIS is the first new spin-off to join the Whoniverse on BBC iPlayer. Each episode comprises a classic Doctor Who story edited into one omnibus-style episode, bookended by new scenes featuring members of the original cast in "a remembered TARDIS". It's a great place to start dipping your toes into Doctor Who's older stories, or to revisit old favourites!

Running from the Black Guardian?

Try out a random article from the Tardis Wiki! Like the Fourth Doctor's randomiser, this will take you anywhere in time and space... mostly Earth in the 20th or 21st centuries. Who knows what you'll find?

Listen to the Doctor and friends!

The Eighth Doctor Adventures is a range of full-cast audios featuring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor and Sheridan Smith as his companion Lucie Miller. Unlike most Doctor Who audio lines, it began as a radio drama, and ran concurrently with a part of David Tennant's turn on television.

Stripped for Action!

The Incomplete Death's Head was a 12-part comic mini-series which reprinted 18 stories featuring the Marvel Comics character Death's Head. The comic is extremely unique for featuring Doctor Who universe concepts such as the Seventh Doctor and Hob alongside explicit Marvel cameos, with flashbacks including such characters as She-Hulk and the Fantastic Four. This was one of the most explicit examples of the Doctor himself being presented as existing inside the Marvel Universe, aka Earth-616.

Enter the Game Station

Doctor Who and the Mines of Terror was a 1985 platform video game released for the BBC Micro and other gaming computers. The game featured the Sixth Doctor, traveling with a robotic cat companion named Splinx, attempting to stop the Tremas Master from disrupting the universe.
