The Doctor Who series started in 1963 and is a continuation of the same story line. NOt an offshoot of any other series. The Doctor merely regenerates every so often. You really don't need to watch the old ones, you can just pick up wherever you want
Dr Who is a Time Lord who can travel thru time and space in his TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions In Space ). He encounters old and new enemies and has countless adventures, usually with a companion.
I say just jump in and you'll catch on.
Actually this new doctor will be a good place to start, since lots of explainging will be given to his new companion, and you'll pick lots of info background from there.Last edited by Girlbot; 17 February 2010, 11:40 AM.no means no, and so does pepper spraySig by The Carpentersigpic

for me DW is just good clean fun. the doctor is a 906 year old timelord (end of time)he travels the universe just for fun but something always seems to come up which requires him to save people or deal with the situation.
he is extremely smart but he has grown cocky over the years and at times and does things that us mortals don't agree with (waters on mars) one example.
-------------------------------
The timelords developed a technology that allows them to "Regenerate" this kicks in when a Time Lord is severely injured. If the Time Lords life is about to end this regeneration kicks in, his/her body heals itself to perfect health, but at a cost, his/her form changes completely.
