  TIME LORD Part One
The DOCTOR WHO producer, faced with the problem that his leading actor had to retire from the programme, invented a crucial element of the Doctor's make-up: he can regenerate his body when it wears out, allowing a new actor to take on the role.
The Doctor was on trial for his life, and the first three of the season's four stories were the evidence presented by the prosecution and then by the Doctor in his own defence.
DOCTOR WHO reruns proved to be one of the main attractions on the BSB satellite and cable television service.

 washingtonpost.com: An Entrance To the World Of 'Doctor Who'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The Doctor (he is never called Doctor Who) has gone through several incarnations as the actors who played him either left the show or died, but he remains an Englishman--albeit one from another planet.
Americans are most familiar with the fourth Doctor (1974-80), the towering great eccentric Tom Baker, he of the long scarf, bulging blue eyes and, as one viewer remarked on first seeing him, "too many teeth to be human." Baker's immense advantage in the part was that he seemed actually to be from another planet.
"Doctor Who" was launched at roughly the same time as "Beyond the Fringe," the Pythons and the Beatles movies, and it definitely has its cheerfully ridiculous side.

 Doctor Who - Wikiquote
Doctor Who is a long running British science fiction television program produced by the BBC about a mysterious time-travelling adventurer know only as "The Doctor", who explores time and space with various (mainly human female) companions.
It is currently the longest-running science-fiction series broadcast on television, spanning twenty-six years on it's original run, and the role of the Doctor on television has been played by ten actors.
As the Doctor has appeared as a main character in stories produced within a variety of media (such as books, comic strips and audio plays, for example), there is intense debate around whether these additional stories can be classed as part of the show's 'canon'.

 Tom Baker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is best known for playing the fourth incarnation of the Doctor in the long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who, a role he played from 1974 to 1981, and for being the narrator of the comedy series Little Britain.
Baker himself suggested many aspects of the Fourth Doctor's personality; it was he who suggested that he wear the distinctive scarf, despite the fact that the woman who had knitted it misunderstood her instructions and used all of the wool provided, resulting in a ridiculously overlong scarf.
Although he reappeared as the Doctor for the 1993 charity special Dimensions in Time and the PC game Destiny of the Doctors, he has, to date, declined to follow his successors and reprise the role for any of the audio dramas based upon the series.
