Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the first season was being made, television pirates were desperate to acquire the preview tapes. One of the people in the office had the idea of labelling the tapes with the anagram "Torchwood", rather than "Doctor Who", as a security measure to disguise the tapes when they were delivered from Cardiff to London. Writer Russell T. Davies liked this idea so much that it later inspired him to use it as a title for the Torchwood institution and then when creating the spin-off series Torchwood (2006).
- GoofsThe principles of the TARDIS' universal translator are depicted inconsistently throughout the series. It is supposed to translate everything into the traveler's own language, which should give everyone perfect British accents. Yet some characters in foreign countries speak with their own accents, such as Chinese or Italian, and "colourful" phrases like "apres vouz," "adios amigos," or "sayonara" are heard in their own languages. To say nothing of the Tenth Doctor's French catchphrase "Allons-y!"
- Quotes
[series 1 trailer]
The Ninth Doctor: Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do then I should warn you, you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past; Aliens from the future; the day the Earth died in a ball of flame; It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: the trip of a lifetime.
- Crazy creditsDuring the first series, Christopher Eccleston is credited as "Doctor Who", as set in the Classic Series. Beginning with the second series - reportedly at the behest of the show's new star, David Tennant - the credit has been changed to read "The Doctor".
- Alternate versionsIn series 5, Amy has a prologue that only exists in syndicated versions and isn't present in the original UK airings. It doesn't appear on home media (DVD) either.
- ConnectionsEdited into Ashens: Cybermen Call Centre (2006)
Featured review
You looking for Sci-Fi? It's got it. Action? It's got it. Drama? That too! This show has got it all. With tastes of Horror, Romance, Mystery, even some Western. It really depends on the episode. While not episode is perfect, every episode can be appreciated. While the main idea of the show doesn't change, the show has experimented in many ways. The show is ever changing, with the main cast being swapped every few years. With such a big history, there's a reason the show still stands strong to this day. The episodes give nods to the past, and hints to the future. With this capability, it truly has an infinite potential.
This show truly has affected my life in ways I'd never believed. I went into the show believing it to be a cliché, boring Sci-Fi (I'd never been a fan of the genre), but after just a few episodes I was absolutely hooked. With each new main character added, you quickly learn to love them, despite your disbelief in the ability to after such a heartbreaking exit, which I'll get into later. The characters are written brilliantly, and by the end there run, you always say that the next person coming along will never be as good. Every time, your proved wrong. While everyone has their favorites, each Companion and Doctor have moments to shine, and are all brilliant in their own way.
This show truly is something special. I'll support this show for decades, and I give it a very easy 10/10.
