As the Doctor himself said on Trenzalore, he’s had loads of bodies. That’s because the Doctor is a Time Lord, and Time Lords have the ability to regenerate their bodies when they’re worn out or dying. This means that his old body transforms into a new one, along with a new appearance and persona – a brand new Doctor! But underneath these surface changes, he’s still the same man, the same hero and adventurer.
The series finale gave us glimpses of many Doctors, including the very first - that was the white-haired figure that Clara spoke to at the beginning of the episode. We saw the ‘impossible girl’ interrupt him as he was about to steal a TARDIS, advising him to take the time machine that he still travels in today. The Second Doctor was the man wearing a big, furry coat and the Third was behind the wheel of his trusty old car, Bessie. It’s clear that every Doctor has a distinctive look – tall and handsome, short and impish, old, young… All different! But what’s more exciting is their unique personalities and eccentricities - you can read more by following the links below. You’ll see that the Doctor has always been a hero, but in different ways in different times.
The guide shows the Doctors - click on any of them and you’ll be taken to a page that gives you the low down on that particular Doctor. What they were like, who they travelled with and what caused them to regenerate. If you want to find out more, simply follow the links to their stories and you’ll discover some brilliant clips from their adventures, galleries, fact files and much more. We’ll be adding much more in the coming months, but for now, here’s a guide to the greatest hero of them all: The Doctor….

HOLY —— DOCTOR WHO IS AMAZING WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO WATCH THIS MARVELOUS THING??????
I’m so proud. I think I’ve turned my mother into a part time Whovian.
So, since there will be no Sherlock until Fall *sobs*, I need something to do. I am embarrassed to admit that I have never seen Doctor Who. I KNOW, I KNOW. So, help a gal out. Where do I start?
Go leave fullcirclefan your suggestions!
I GOT MY BROTHER TO WATCH DOCTOR WHO!!!!! We’re gonna have Who nights soon! Oh the brotherly bonding and laughing and crying and all the adventures we’ll have!
Introducing my 6yr old cousin to Doctor Who and starting with The Eleventh Hour. Fingers crossed she likes it
Are you a Doctor Who virgin who wants to start watching the Time Lord’s adventures, but is daunted by the fact that the British science-fiction show’s half-century history now encompasses literally dozens of seasons, not to mention 11 small screen Doctors, two ’60s-era films, one TV movie, and numerous specials?
Good news! You don’t have to watch every episode of Doctor Who to know what’s going on. In fact, that’s impossible “thanks” to the BBC’s habit during the ’60s and ’70s of wiping the show’s tapes.
So where should non-Whovian readers start viewing?
Clicky for the answers….
All the tumblr gifs convinced me to start watching Doctor Who. Where has this been all my life? Can’t. Stop. Watching.

Crap! I’m a Whovian. I blame tumblr.
