Doctor Who

Since 1963, the BBC has broadcast Doctor Who, a British science-fiction television series. The Doctor, a Time Lord from the Gallifreyan race, travels through time and space with his companions on their ship, the TARDIS (an acronym for Time and Relative Dimension in Space). And in the journey, the Doctor regenerates into a new form from time to time.

The show is an important part of British popular culture, and it has a cult following in other countries. It has impacted generations of television professionals in the United Kingdom, many of whom grew up watching the show. Whovians are a term used to describe fans of the show. Based on overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, and iTunes traffic, the show is featured in Guinness World Records as the world's longest-running science fiction television show, as well as the "most successful" science fiction series of all time.
