They didn’t give him a tank or a warship or an X-Wing, they gave him a call box from which you can call for help and they didn’t give him a superpower or a heat-ray, they gave him an extra heart. And that’s extraordinary. There will never come a time when we don’t need a hero like the Doctor."

    On the subject of former Doctors, the oldest surviving actor who played the role is Tom Baker, who was the most famous Doctor and the one who first made the show successful in America. Tom is 90 years old now. I expect that his passing will get some mention in the media even in the US. Tom played the Doctor from 1974 to 1981. Another fun fact is that one of his female companions on the show was Lalla Ward, they were married in real life for 2 years, but she ended up marrying the famous evolutionary biologist, zoologist and author Richard Dawkins, but they too are now divorced.

    Police boxes were around after the phone was invented so that police officers could communicate with their station.

      In the UK there were such boxes pretty much identical to the Tardis - especially in its original 1963 incarnation. Since then it has had some minor cosmetic upgrades but would still be instantly recognisable as such if it landed in England any time between 1930 and 1970 - the basic design was from 1929.

However, there is a wonderful company called Big Finish who had already brought us great audio dramas with the original Doctor Who actors and they continue to this day. Online you may see negativity, but I think there are a lot of Doctor Who fans like myself who like old and new who and watch it all.

    You're right about the limited special/visual effects of Classic Who adding to the charm of the series. I'm Gen-X (55) and it delights me that the show's revival sparked interest in the classic series, and I have seen a lot of younger reactors watch the classic episodes, completely gripped by the stories and characters, which are the true hearts of both Classic and NuWho. I also think it's funny that the oldest NuWho episodes (like this one from 2005), aired almost 20 years ago, so even the revived series now has the same low-budget charm to modern eyes that the original series had for viewers in 2005.

    This was a sucessful revival because it respected the Classic series but also modernised and didn't rely on it for someone new to start watching.
    The Autons were a Classic Doctor Who Villain from the 70's, I wont say anythign more than that incase you ever do watch Classic Who but it doesn't matter if you know that or not. Obviously the effects in the 60's - 80's were not good, not even for the time but I don't think anyone really cared because the stories are good. Even modern Doctor Who doesn't have the best effects (although it does get better) but I can say that I have never met someone who only likes Classic Doctor Who and hates Modern Doctor Who.

A TARDIS is supposed to have a chameleon circuit, something that automatically disguises it as something innocuous, but this one got stuck as a police box in the 60s. The Doctor has since fixed it, but likes it like this.

      And technically, even the word "Spoilers" is a spoiler. 🙂

      @@idrisidmonster7115 Well, not if you don't know it is. So really, saying that "spoilers" is a spoiler is the spoiler.
      ...And yes, this argument could go on for months! =:o}

    Grew up on:
    Third - Jon Pertwee
    Fourth - Tom Baker
    But,
    Eleventh - Matt Smith is my favorite.
    The first three Doctors were the most serious. Tom Baker started the trend of absurd Doctors.

      The first absurd Doctor and a great narrator for a metal album.

      Baker was also my actual first but I found Classic Who to be too cheap and cheesy to really get into it as I was a Star Wars kid. Chris Eccelstone is who I really consider my 1st but Peter Capaldi's 12th is MY Doctor.

      The 2nd Doctor wasn't very serious

    I'm SO GLAD you're watching this! It's a long journey, but you're going to love it all.
    Season 1 is a bit campy, but fun.

    As a lifelong Doctor Who fan, you are in for the epiphany of an emotional rollercoaster. You´ll laugh, you´ll cry, you´ll cheer, you´ll scream... it has everything. The series evolves over time, with better things coming up. It does have some cringy moments, some cheesy moments, but there are some really incredible pieces on this. The speeches from the Doctor in the latter series are truly moving and incredible; and a reflection of us as a society and civilisation. You are going to love this!!! Just be ready for the latter half of this season... when *SPOLIER AERT* they meet a captain... I´ll say no more.
