Doctor Who
TARDIS pilot, regenerates
Doctor Who is a long-running British science fiction television series featuring a time-traveling alien called the Doctor who explores the universe in a spacecraft disguised as a blue police box.
The title is often mistaken for the character's name, but "Doctor Who" refers to the show itself—the character is simply "the Doctor." The question Doctor Who? reflects the mystery surrounding the protagonist's true identity.
The series is known for regeneration, allowing different actors to play the Doctor across generations.
