Doctor Who

Plot

The quintessential "mortgage lifter" for many a financially flagging PBS station, the long-running British science fiction series Doctor Who was not always a big favorite in America. The series detailed the wide-ranging adventures of Doctor Who, a 750-year-old denizen of the planet Gallifrey, who came to earth in human form by way of a London police call box. In truth, it wasn't a call box at all, but instead the doctor's TARDIS, a vehicle which enabled him to travel through space and time. Garbed in a floppy hat, tattered overcoat, and colorful muffler, and hopelessly addicted to "jelly babies," Doctor Who embarked upon his various journeys through the cosmos, accompanied by a succession of attractive female earthlings. Debuting in England on November 23, 1963, Doctor Who ended up the longest-running science fiction series of its kind in TV history, remaining in active production until the fall of 1989 (not counting the 1965 feature film Doctor Who & the Daleks and a brace of "revival" episodes in 1993 and 1996).

Since no one actor could be expected to devote his life to the series, it was decided early on for Doctor Who to be periodically "regenerated," obtaining a new body and personality in the process. Thus, the character was portrayed by eight different actors: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, and Paul McGann (Richard Hurndall briefly essayed the role in the series' special 20th anniversary episode in 1983). Though incredibly popular in England and Europe, the series had a hard time getting started in the United States. Time-Life Inc. offered the series for commercial syndication in 1970, 1972, and 1978. Each time, station managers were either resistant to the property or ran the program in "fringe" time slots, often showing the serialized episodes out of their proper order. It helped matters not at all that American TV reviewers poked cruel fun at the series, reserving their nastiest comments for the program's tacky production values (which, to dyed-in-the-wool fans, was actually part of its charm). Only when the series began popping up on local PBS stations in the late '70s did Doctor Who finally build up a loyal and dedicated fan following in America. By the mid-'80s, the series was one of the highest-rated noncommercial programs on the market, literally rescuing more than one educational TV outlet from bankruptcy. The BBC revived Doctor Who in 2005, with a new cast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who: Shada (1980)
The famous "lost" Doctor Who adventure "Shada" was to have aired in six episodes from January 18 to February 23, 1980, but was never completed due to a BBC strike. In 1992, the existing scenes (mostly "location" footage) were edited together into a two-hour continuity for home video, with the Doctor (Tom Baker) providing linking narration. What emerged was a story concerning a book called "The Ancient Law of Gallifrey," which arouses the interest of the mind-draining Skagra (Christopher Neame), and also the infamous Time Lord outlaw Salyavin (Denis Carey). The title refers to the planet where the story comes to an explosive climax. "Shada" was written by Douglas Adams. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who: The Five Doctors (1983)
Doctor Who celebrated its 20th anniversary with the 90-minute special "The Five Doctors." The life of the present Doctor (Peter Davison) is jeopardized when his four previous incarnations -- played by William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, and Tom Baker -- are taken out of time by an illegal Time Scoop. Even worse, the five doctors are confronted by a seemingly endless series of past enemies, included Daleks, Cybermen, and Yetis. The climax takes place in the Forbidden Zone on Gallifrey, where the instigator of the aforementioned time-scooping forces the five doctors to engage in the potentially deadly Game of Rassilon. Can any of the doctors save themselves -- and if not, will robot dog K-9 come galloping to the rescue? The late William Hartnell appeared only in clips from the second-season episode "Invasion of Earth: Flashpoint"; he was replaced in the body of the 20th anniversary special by Richard Hurndall. Written by Terrance Dicks, "The Five Doctors" was first presented in America on November 23, 1983, two days before its British TV debut. Since that time, it has been reedited into a four-part cliffhanger for syndication. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who: A Fix With Sontarans (1985)
Though often listed as an "official" Doctor Who episode, the 15-minute "A Fix With Sontarans" was actually telecast as an episode of the long-running (1973-1989) BBChuman-interest series Jim'll Fix It. On this series, host Jimmy Saville, responding to mailed-in requests, allowed selected viewers to fulfill their fondest dreams; for example, a young boy was allowed to sit in as a drummer with his favorite rock group; a James Bond fan visited the set of The Spy Who Loved Me; and a blind woman heard her music composition performed by Sir Edward Heath. On this particular episode, originally broadcast February 23, 1985, an eight-year-old youngster named Gareth Jenkins assisted Doctor Who (Colin Baker) and his companion, Tegan (Janet Fielding, making a brief return to the Doctor Who fold as a replacement for the otherwise engaged Nicola Bryant), in preventing the Sontarans from planting a bomb on the TARDIS. The fact that the Sontarans were also part of the latest Doctor Who story arc "The Two Doctors" enabled the producers to give this wish-fulfillment episode a professional veneer without going to the trouble of purchasing new costumes or constructing new props. Written by series "regular" Eric Saward, "A Fix With Sontarans" was an interesting footnote to the Doctor Who saga. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time, Episode 1 (1993)
Four years after its "official" demise as a weekly series, Doctor Who briefly resurfaced in the form of a two-part, off-length special. Created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series' birth, "Dimensions in Time" was shown as a component of two other TV programs. Part One aired November 26, 1993, as an eight-minute segment of the BBC's Children in Need Telethon. In this installment, five of the Doctor's seven incarnations -- played by surviving series stars Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy -- were pitted against renegade Time Lady Rani (Kate O'Mara, likewise repeating her Doctor Who role), who hoped to determine the outcome of the universe's evolution. This cliffhanger would be resolved the following evening on the series' Noel's House Party. Featured in the cast were several of the Doctor's former "companions," including Nicola Bryant (Peri), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Sophie Aldred (Ace), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), Elisabeth Sladen (Sara), and Bonnie Langford (Mel). "Dimensions in Time" was written by John Nathan-Turner and David Roden. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time, Episode 2 (1993)
Four years after its "official" demise as a weekly series, Doctor Who briefly resurfaced in the form of a two-part, 14-minute special. Created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series' birth, Part One of "Dimensions in Time" was shown as a segment of the BBC's Children in Need Telethon. The plot proper pitted five of the Doctor's seven incarnations -- played by surviving series stars Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy -- against renegade Time Lady Rani (Kate O'Mara), who hoped to determine the outcome of the universe's evolution. This cliffhanger was resolved on November 27, 1993 with Part Two of "Dimensions in Time," shown as a six-minute component of the series' Noel's House Party. It was truly an "interactive" effort, with the home viewers calling in their suggestions for the outcome. Also appearing were several cast members of the popular British soap opera Eastenders (one of whom was selected by popular vote to "save" the Doctor). Written by John Nathan-Turner and David Roden, "Dimensions in Time" represented the Doctor's last TV appearance until the 1996 two-hour "revival" film. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
