Template:NcDr Who was a rather eccentric Human scientist, living in a cottage in England with his granddaughters Susan and Barbara. He also had a niece named Louise.
Profile
Dr. Who had invented time travel in the form of Tardis, a machine, the exterior of which looked just like a police box.
While Ian was visiting his house he, Susan and Barbara went to have a look at Tardis. A lever was accidentally pressed and Dr. Who and his friends and family were transported to Skaro.
Trying to return Tardis home, Dr. Who opened the doors to find a Roman legion marching towards the ship. (Film: Dr. Who and the Daleks)
Tardis subsequently materialised on Oldark Moor, where Dr. Who and his companions encountered Count Tarkin. (ST: The House on Oldark Moor)
Subsequently, joined by Louise, they fought Daleks who had invaded Earth in the year 2150. (Film: Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD)
- It is not known what happened after the end of this adventure. A third film, based upon the televised serial The Chase, was planned but never made. Additionally, Stanmark Producitons Limited obtained a license to make a series of 52 half-hour radio dramas based upon the character. Advertisements were published, but no episode was ever known to have been completed.[1][2]
Trivia
- Fans suggest this Doctor comes from a parallel universe to the Time Lord known as the Doctor as there is a small amount of evidence to that effect.
- Like the First Doctor and Eleventh Doctor, his TARDIS had a St. John's Ambulance logo, as well as being the same shade of blue. He also had parts of the Doctor's personalities; the fashion sense that of the Third Doctor, the humbleness of the First Doctor and the curiosity of the Fifth Doctor, as well being part of similar events.
- Reference was made to this Doctor in the novel Salvation, where reference was made to the film Pray for a Miracle released in 1970 based on the events that took place in the novel, where the Doctor's role in events was played by Peter Cushing as 'the bumbling scientific advisor, Dr. Who', critics noting that the little known about the 'true' Doctor suggests that his was a 'shadowy, manipulative presence'.
