Get acquainted with the eccentric alien known as the Doctor From his beginnings as a crotchety, anti-heroic scientist in 1963 to his current place in British pop culture as the mad and dangerous monster-fighting savior of the universe, the titular character of Doctor Who has metamorphosed in his 50 years on television. And yet the questions about him remain the same: Who is he? Why does he act the way he does? What motivates him to fight evil across space and time? Series experts, and authors of Who's 50 and Who Is The Doctor, Graeme Burk and Robert Smith? answer all the questions in this guide to television's most beloved time traveler. The Doctors Are In is also a guide to the Doctor himself -- who he is in his myriad forms, how he came to be, how he has changed (within the program itself and behind the scenes)... and why he's a hero to millions.
