Why you should watch Doctor Who I must confess, I’m not a serie-addict. A year ago, I didn’t understand how people could watch a complete season of a series in a week or, even more, in a week-end ! Today, I’m going to present you my favourite, the one for whom I gave my summer free-time -yes, I still don’t be really fast in watching series. This beloved TV-show is Doctor Who and I’m going to tell you why you must watch -and love- it ! • You don’t need to start by the beginning I don’t know if you have ever heard something about Doctor Who but it belongs to one of those series you can start to the season you want. Of course, it is better if you start by the beginning, which is…. The first season, yes, you’re really clever! But this is not a problem if you pick up a season and start watching it. I advice you to start with a new doctor if you really want to rebel and start by the “end” but want to understand it clearly -there is always a sort of sum-up when a new doctor comes. But as you don’t start by the beginning, you won’t understand some references to the previous journeys. • The actors are not always the same “A new Doctor? What the hell is she saying? Isn’t supposed to be a single doctor?”, yes I can hear you. The Doctor is a single character but he changes a lot of time of appearance -that’s what we call the regeneration but I won’t say nothing more… SPOILERS. Therefore, another appearance means a new actor, which is one of the most important reason why I love this series: Even if the new series -I will explain this detail later- is composed of ten season, you don’t end up in a boring routine where the characters always do the same. Simply because the characters are not always the same! As the Doctor changes his appearance, the people who are traveling with him are changing too! • Each episode is a discovery I didn’t explain you what Doctor Who is, I’m sorry, let’s start again. Hello, my name is Mary and today I’m going to talk about Doctor Who, a British science-fiction TV-Show which is the story of an alien. He is called the doctor, he looks like a human-being and travels with them through the Time and Space in a blue-box which is called the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space). As he can travel in the time and the space he wants, every episode is different. Indeed, you can go to the End of the World in an episode, then visiting Pompeii the day of the volcanic eruption. But if you’re tired of all this heat, you can go to another planet, cold and full of aliens or to a Viking village to fight Odin. There are plenty of different worlds and times in Doctor Who, you can discover aliens and their planet, or the future of our civilisation. It’s up to you! • You can see famous people in it And I’m not just speaking of the actors. Indeed, as the Doctor, his companion and the Tardis are traveling through time and space, they can travel into the time too. And, traveling into time means meet iconic historical figures! Thats’s how you will see Shakespeare fighting real witches -and not those in Macbeth-, Winston Churchill calling the Doctor for help, a party in a mansion while Agatha Christie has to resolve a real case of murder instead of writing it or you can try to find the Ninth Legion of the Imperial Roman army in Scotland with the Doctor and his companion. So we can say that watching Doctor Who is, more or less, (re)learn history with a fantastic point of view, and I must confess that my best historical character is Vincent Van Gogh because he is really touching and talented in this episode! • It’s a crazy complete universe Traveling in space is an advantage because the storywriters/ scriptwriters can do everything they want and do something crazy with this universe. On the one hand there is the Doctor who is a mad man with a blue box, a blue police box which travels through time and space with a screwdriver as only “weapon”… well it’s a sonic screwdriver but it doesn’t change the fact that we don’t see that in a lot of shows! On the other hand there are his enemies, called the Daleks, which are absolutely iconic in Doctor Who, these alien robots are the Doctor’s best enemies and you are sure to see them in every season, almost. Of course the Doctor doesn’t have a unique alien to fight, he has a lot and a lot of enemies and some of them are absolutely insane, perhaps more than the Doctor, but they also give a humoristic dimension too and this is really cool to see bad characters who are not only mean but funny too. Moreover, if you really have nothing to watch, Doctor Who will take you a lot of time because, as I said the “new series” is composed of ten seasons but there is also the “old series”, the one of which started during the 60’s! We don’t have the complete 26 seasons but if you want to discover the first eighth doctors, you can do it thanks to the magic of Internet! And, if you are still hungry of Doctor Who and science-fiction’s episodes, you can start watching one of the many spin-off of Doctor Who such as The Sarah Jane Adventures, which is more for kids, or Torchwood with Captain Jack who are in Wales fighting aliens. So I wasn’t wrong when I said that Doctor Who has it own universe which is big and that I didn’t entirely discover yet. • The eleventh season starts on the 7th of October This is why I chose to talk about Doctor Who because the new season will be out next week! So I didn’t see a better time to speak about it. As it’s a new doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker, you can even start watching Doctor Who with this season. And, my last argument is that the Doctor, this time, is played for the first time by a woman, which is a big change in the history of the TV-Show so I can’t wait to see what is going to happen! Well, I could talk about Doctor Who for a long time but I still have episodes to watch before next Sunday so I hope that my article gave you the will to watch Doctor Who and don’t blink, blink and you are dead!
