help Doctor Who FAQ
Can I start Doctor Who with the 2005 series?
Yes. The 2005 revival begins with Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and reintroduces the TARDIS, regeneration, the Time War, and the Daleks for new viewers.
Why does the actor playing the Doctor keep changing?
The Doctor is a Time Lord who can regenerate into a new body when mortally injured, allowing another actor to inherit the role. The concept was introduced when William Hartnell's First Doctor changed into Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor.
What exactly is the TARDIS?
The TARDIS is the Doctor's time-and-space ship, and its interior is vastly larger than its exterior. Its broken chameleon circuit leaves it looking like a blue British police box.
Are the classic and modern Doctor Who series part of the same story?
Yes. The program that began on the BBC in 1963 and the revival launched in 2005 share the same Doctor, history, species, and recurring enemies, rather than forming separate reboots.
