Doctor Who was created by a Canadian by the name of Sydney Newman... He was working for the BBC in the 1960s as Head of Drama when, in 1963, he was put to the task of creating a Saturday night program to fill the slot after football... A show that would appeal to the entire family... He came up with the idea of a mysterious time traveller (known as The Doctor)... The show was intended to initially be educational with a series of adventures that would take place in the past and featuring historical characters (such as Genghis Khan, Shakespeare, Marco Polo, etc) and it was his mandate that there were to be absolutely "no bug-eyed monsters"... But as fate would have it, with the filming of the first story complete and the producers in a mad race to have a script ready to film for the second adventure.. the only script ready was one written by Terry Nation, who wrote a story featuring those mutated metal beasts who would live on to become the Doctor's oldest and deadliest enemy... the Daleks!... And it was with the airing of the first Dalek story that had all of Britain hooked on this new show... Rather ironic that the guy who created the show was so keen on not having bug eyed monsters in it.. yet it was the bug eyed monsters that ensured Doctor Who's success as a worldwide phenomenon for the past 47 years! (Hope that answers your question ;-)
