Doctor Who By Alex Roper

Doctor Who is a popular television program in England. The head writer is Steven Moffat. The doctor is a time lord (time traveler) that uses an old police box, called the TARDIS. The word TARDIS is an acronym that stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. He always has an assistant from earth that travels with him. He is an explorer that often saves the world. The doctor is from the planet of Gallifrey that was destroyed a long time ago during the time war by his ultimate enemies, the Daleks. He battles creatures from different planets that are trying to take over the world. The television program started in the1960s with William Hartnell as the First doctor. The current one, and my favorite, is David Tennant. The first special, out of a series of four, was Planet of the Dead. The second special is the Waters of Mars, premiering Saturday, December 19th at 9/8c on BBC America. The third is The End of Time, Part One premieres Saturday December 26th at 9/8c on BBC America. The fourth is The End of Time, Part Two premieres Saturday January 2nd at 9/8c on BBC America. Matt Smith will play the doctor for series five. Series five will begin in 2010. Currently, replays of Doctor Who are being played on SyFy on Fridays at 5:00 am. Also it will be on BBC America on Sunday at 9 pm.
