Meredith Quill August 11, 2014 Share August 11, 2014 This topic is to talk about The Doctor as a character, his history, his backstory. I love this description of him, I was going to transcribe it but then thought, I'll let it speak for itself (first 25 seconds): 2 Link to comment
BizBuzz August 11, 2014 Share August 11, 2014 This is great, thanks for starting the topic @SilverStormm I have always wondered, did DW start out as a comic book and then was adapted to TV? I watched An Adventure in Space and Time and I got a lot of the back story with that, but if they mentioned this, I don't remember. Link to comment

Kalliste August 11, 2014 Share August 11, 2014 I like all of this about him, the start and the end shows things about his personality. It's also one of my favourite episodes. I haven't watched the original series, it makes me wonder how he has changed throughout his life and how his experiences through the years has influenced and changed him 1 Link to comment
Chip August 11, 2014 Share August 11, 2014 It was created just for the BBC as a kid's show. There was no original source material. 2 Link to comment
BizBuzz August 11, 2014 Share August 11, 2014 It was created just for the BBC as a kid's show. There was no original source material. So that is why it is so important to get to know the Doctor from the very first story arc. To get a feel for him and what made him into what we see of him today. I haven't watched ALL of Classic Who, but I did make myself watch a bit of every doctor to get my own feel of how he has grown. I personally think it's all kinds of awesome that this is 50 years old and it's still going strong. With the basic premise. Kudos to the creators! 3 Link to comment
