Doctor Who : the Hitchhiker guide to the universe ! 19/20




Introduction
What would you do if you were nearly invincible, last of your kind and capable of time and space travel? Here's your answer!

With genius ideas, magical actors, original scenarios, and English humour, Doctor Who the series has been the Graal of the sci-fi series.

The original series
First aired in 1963 the original series has influenced a generation of English, and has became a part of the British popular culture. It’s the
longest-running science fiction series ever.

The Doctor is a,so-to-speak, alien ; but in fact he looks human but he is kind of invincible and has two hearts. He’s open-minded, the best scientist you could ever met, extravagant, smiley, optimistic. In a way he is exactly what I think you would be if you had his power, not a killing machine but a perfect human being : acceptant, optimistic, always ready to help and to live!

I won’t speak about the original because I hadn’t too much time to see episodes, which are difficult to find, the series having stopped in 1989.

The 2005 series
It has run for 3 seasons since now and it’s all for the best! The doctor has been renewed on a better way.

In season 1 the actor playing the doctor is cool but not to be remembered, but the scenarios has always something magic, despite the fact that they have not a big budget for the series, which made it more efficient in a way! Episodes makes you laugh, cry and think, it’s a kind of philosophical trip.

In season 2 appears the most incredible actor ever: David Tenant, playing the Doctor, who’s totally bluffing. He is THE Doctor, he is exactly what the Doctor should be, so extravagant that just hearing it makes you smile! Even if you don’t like the series, you can’t do not like him!

What else?

Not to spoil the series too much I’m just going to speak of the effects of the series on you.

Every episode there’s something special, like a special face of the doctor, which you have never seen in anybody, or a sentence so fantastically found that you can not stop to rehearse it! For example (when you will hear it you would understand ) : judoon platoon in the moon.

So just an advice : stop whatever you’re doing and go watch this series !!!!!

Have Fun,

X.O.X.O.
