The TARDIS with the appearance of a cabin of police force (typically British construction resembling a phone box), the system of camouflage having remained blocked. Like all the lords of time, it has thirteen lives, which explains its capacity to change body when it is close to death.

In the beginning, exiled his planet, the Doctor is, in the new version, the last survivor of his race, destroyed by the Great War of time against Daleks, the worst enemies of the Doctor. The Doctor thus travels in time and space accompanied by Compagnon S, human or not.

Comments

Several actors being succeeded to interpret the role of the Doctor, the production had found an easy way to make these changes credible: indeed, the Doctor had faculty to regenerate himself when it was seriously wounded, taking a new intact appearance and a new personality but having his memories.

An episode of the series, City off Death , was turned to Paris in 1979. There are scenes turned on the Eiffel Lathe and in front of Notre Dame.

The episodes of the first series Doctor Who were written by a great number of different scenario writers among whom: Terry Nation, Henry Lincoln, Douglas Adams, Robert Holmes, Terrance Dicks, Refusals Spooner, Eric Saward, Malcolm Hulke, Christopher H. Bidmead, Stephen Gallagher, Brian Hayles, Chris Butcher, Marc Platt and Ben Aaronovitch.
