*The Doctor can change from serious to satirical, young to old, and change back again. He can go from self-doubting anti-hero to caustic sage, all within the same continuity and he can change back again, remaking himself every couple of years.
 
*The series can range in tone, style and genre, as well as encompassing almost any place and time. The travellers can meet storybook characters in a land of fantasy and the next week land in a credible day-after-tomorrow London. 
 
*No other telefantasy series has, as often quoted, stayed on air for so long. Its longevity enabled it to endear itself (and frighten) new generations of children and teenagers for three decades.
 
*The evolution of viewer from fan to maker of the series. This has occured in the 2005 series and even, to a smaller, degree the makers of the original series. The elders of ''Doctor Who'' fandom have grown up into the creators of nowaday's ''Doctor Who''.

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 Silent Scream.jpg

The Fourth Doctor Adventures is a range of full-cast audios with Tom Baker reprising the role of the Fourth Doctor. It revisits various periods of Tom Baker's era, featuring, at different times, Leela, Romana and K9, voiced by Louise Jameson, Mary Tamm / Lalla Ward and John Leeson respectively, all reprising their roles from the television series.

Stripped for Action!
Angels and tank.jpg

The Weeping Angels of Mons was a story from Titan's Tenth Doctor range that finds the Tenth Doctor and his companion Gabby Gonzalez facing off against Weeping Angels during World War I. It was released during the centenary of the "war to end all wars".

Enter the Game Station
DW Computer Game First 1.jpg

The First Adventure was a video game released in late 1983 for the BBC Micro. The title was, fittingly, the first officially licensed Doctor Who video game. Months earlier, an unlicensed game titled Doctor Who Adventure had appeared in Computer & Video Games, a gaming zine. The First Adventure featured the Doctor traveling through several areas to save his companion, with most levels being based on other popular games of the time.
