Who is Who? A Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey with two hearts and thirteen lives? A folk hero who enthralled us in the warm glow of our TV sets on dark winter evenings? A rebellious iconoclast who toppled corrupt dictatorships and freed the oppressed? Or a bumbling British eccentric who fought rubber monsters in a cheap and cheerful BBC kids' show? | Who is Who?

The story of ''Doctor Who'' is the story of the hopes and fears of generations of children — and grown-ups too — from the counter culture 60s to the 90s.

Cancelled in 1989, the rumour mill is now in overdrive with stories of the Time Lord's possible return. | ||
