- The Doctor from the series “Doctor Who”
(cited from amk.ca link here)

Doctor Who has the record for the longest running science fiction television show. It is a British Sci-Fi that started back in 1963 and ran to 1989. A movie was made in 1996 but unlike the show, it was very unpopular. The show re-aired in 2005 and is still running today. Now that’s one long series. The show itself has affected the British Culture. In fact, it is so popular that Doctor Who is one of Britain’s ‘Mascots’. It is also popular with Sci-Fi fans world wide.

The Show stares a man referred to only as The Doctor (PHD Doctor, not Medical doctor). He is a human looking being that is really an alien. He is a Time Lord, beings from the planet Gallifrey. Time Lords travel in time machines called Tardis.

First, the Time Lords are beings that have the most advance understanding of time and space than most (or even all) of the races found in the known universe. The travel time and space making sure that time is left intact.

The Tardis is the Time Lord tool and craft to travel time and space. The word Tardis means Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. It appears small, about the size of a phone booth, but it is a powerful force. It is really transcendental, which means it is larger in the inside then in the outside. The Doctor’s Tardis looks like a British blue police box.

Now to the man himself. The Doctor is a renegade Time Lord that is out looking for exploration, adventure, or sometime just a vacation. He separated himself from the other Time Lords to ensure that he could do things his way. Yet he always find other people, usually attractive women, to join him on his adventures. These people usually have the same exploring desire as the doctor but rely on his superior knowledge and the Doctor usually finds the father role of the team. Though innocent enough, the Doctor always finds, purposely or accidentally, his way in the worse cases throughout history. He is often saving a country, a world, the universe, or even time itself. He has been known to be one of the most intelligent and, even more so, cleaver Time Lord.

As a Time Lord, the Doctor can regenerate anytime he is critically injured. That way, new actors can take the role and give the Doctor new attributes and styles. This makes the Doctor a cool character because we get to choose the Doctor we like the best. The actors that played him include William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker (my favorite), Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Chrisopher Eccleston, and David Tennant. That makes ten in all. Since a Time Lord can Regenerate 12 time (13 different person) three more people can yet play the role of the doctor.

This Time Lord doesn’t act like most heroes. He usually doesn’t fight at all, but instead, outsmarts his enemies. The Doctor has a very sly and cocky attitude. In fact, he may be the most sly person on this list. He may be cocky but he is cleaver and smart enough to back it up. Most of the Doctors are very funny. His Sly attitude and the fact that he makes light of most tough situations gives him a funny attitude.

The Doctor is also Heroic because he is stubborn. He will not back down to evil nor will he let down his morals. He stands for what is right and fights for it will all his being.
