TV Spotlight of the Week: Doctor Who

Recently I fell in love with a TV series called Doctor Who. This TV series is actually with the British TV network(s) and is often called the best and most popular British TV series. This TV series originally began in 1963 and ended in 1989, but in 2005, a newer version of the series began, which was more adept towards the social culture of that year.

“Doctor Who” is a story about a mysterious and very strange character who refers to himself as “The Doctor.” He is an alien called a Time Lord and is the last of his kind, which is described as a once beautiful and magnificent race. The Doctor travels in a time machine called a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space). Often known as the best and most creative science fiction series of all time, The Doctor travels to many different worlds and saves many different civilizations from aliens and other evil things.

Some monsters or aliens that the doctor fights are Daleks – mechanized robots internally controlled by aliens, who are the doctor’s strongest enemies; Cybermen – emotionless, human created robots bent on converting all humans into them; Sontarans – bent on converting Earth into their breeding ground; Slevines – family of an Alien race trying to convert Earth into a wasteland to sell to intergalactic sources; and the Master – the only other Time Lord left who is bent on destroying and ruling the human race and destroying the doctor. However, there are many more enemies than this. The Doctor is also hindered in his path many times by the institute and museum of alien technologies called Torchwood.

I especially love this series due to its creative and ingenuitive stories. I like this series because instead of being like a normal fighting or adventurous science fiction story, the story of the Doctor is what puts it apart from everything else. I also like how the Doctor also has several companions along the way, which helps increase the dynamism of the story and prevents it from being simply an action science fiction show. I strongly recommend science fiction lovers watch this show. It may seem a bit corny in the beginning but it will draw you in.

Hi there. My name's Dhruv Rajput. I am currently going to Grade 12 in Sir Winston Chruchill High School. Some of my interests are table tennis, badminton and soccer. Oh maybe I forgot to mention but, I'm addicted to comedy. TV sitcoms, stand-ups, comedy-sketch shows, you name it. I also like to play video games (surprise, surprise). I am of Indian heritage and love everything about it (except the corny movies and tv shows).
