If you’re looking for a cult TV show to suit all ages, look no further than Doctor Who, the longest-running science-fiction television show in the world. The mysterious Doctor Who is a Time Lord who travels through time in his time ship, the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space), which is handily disguised as a 1950’s British Police Box. As a Time Lord, the Doctor has the ability to regenerate his body when near death. Although he’s not from Earth, the Doctor spends most of his time saving the world from alien forces and his chief nemeses: the Daleks, the Master, and the Cybermen. And of course, behind every good man is a great woman – the Doctor is never without his trusty Assistant.
