Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme
produced by the BBC. The programme depicts the adventures of a
mysterious and eccentric Time Lord known as the Doctor who travels
through time and space in his time machine, the TARDIS (an acronym
for Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space), which normally
appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s British police box.
With his companions, he explores time and space, faces a variety of
foes and saves civilizations, helping people and righting wrongs.
The programme is listed in Guinness World Records as the
longest-running science fiction television show in the world.
Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old
alien, a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, who travels in time
and space in his TARDIS, frequently with companions. When the
Doctor is critically injured, he can regenerate his body but in
doing so gains a new physical appearance and with it, a distinct
new personality. Peter Davidson portrayed the Fifth Doctor from
1981-1984. The Fifth Doctor was far more vulnerable, sensitive, and
reserved than his previous incarnations, and often reacted to
situations rather than initiating them. Frequently, he made
decisions by flipping a coin. Unlike his more authoritative
predecessors, he treated his young companions as parts of a team,
and often willingly participated in situations under the leadership
of someone else who had the strong command presence that he
apparently lacked. However, the Fifth Doctor's boyish appearance,
nervous energy, and charm all hid the fact that he was a Time Lord
of great age, compassion, and experience.
The Fifth Doctor greatly abhorred violence and often hesitated
about taking matters into his own hands. For the first time,
indecision weighed seriously on the character, and it had its
consequences - yet he was also one of the most courageous of his
incarnations. On his lapel, the Fifth Doctor wore a celery stalk.
He claimed that the celery would sometimes turn purple in the
presence of certain gases in the "Praxis" range to which he was
allergic, although this allergy was not mentioned by any
incarnations before or since. He was also the last doctor to use
the original sonic screwdriver, which was destroyed during one of
his adventures.
"Oh, marvelous. You're going to kill me. What a finely tuned
response to the situation." - the Fifth Doctor
As always be on the look out for Daleks, Cyberman, Autons, the
Master, Sontarans, Silurians, Slitheen, Ood, Judoon, Weeping Angels
and the occasional Muggle.
