DOCTOR WHO

I want to talk about my favourite TV series, Doctor Who. Doctor Who is a British TV series which is broadcasted on BBC. Its type is science fiction. One of the most important features it has is that it is the longest-running science fiction television show in the world and the most successful science fiction series of all time as the Guinness World Records listed. It is first introduced on 23 November 1963 and it has been broadcasted since then. There are thirty-two seasons in total. 25 seasons of them are called "Classical Series" and 7 of them are called "Modern Series." I will talk about the plot which is definitely fascinating. The Doctor, main character, is a Time Lord. He is also the last one of the Time Lords. He has a TARDIS which is a machine travels in time and space. It stands for Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space. TARDIS is bigger one the inside, which is a specialty of the Time Lords. It looks like a blue police box from outside as a camouflage tactic. The Doctor is almost immortal. Every Time Lord can regenerate, so can the Doctor. Regenerating means that a Time Lord comes back to life as a new person changing his appearance completely when it is time to die for him. Although they can continue living thanks to the regeneration, this process is very hard and painful because it leads to a change in their characteristics in addition to their appearance. The Doctor doesn't like to travel alone. He always has a Companion, especially a human Companion, because he loves humans and their humanistic features. He always appreciates them. He also loves earth and protects it from the possible threats and invasions. The Companions who travel with the Doctor experience such unbelievable adventures that they never want it to end. However, it ends because either something bad which makes them leave happened to them, or the Doctor just leaves them. The Doctor never travels with a Companion so long because he is so sentimental and he cannot stand seeing their getting old and death.

He had regenerated 11 times.

VİDEO REFLECTION

I chose this video because it shows most of the things I have just mentioned. This is the 11th Doctor. He has just regenerated. And there is a possible threat for earth. That big eye you see in the video comes to earth for looking for a prisoner and it threatens the earth to burn it all down if the prisoner is not given back. However, the earthlings, of course, have no idea about what it mentions. And that is where the Doctor becomes a part of the solution as always. He simply introduces himself as saying "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically... Run." I forgot to mention about his funny side. Oh, he has the most ridiculous sense of homour, which makes me laugh to death all the time. In this video, we also see a little bit of his sarcastic remarks. In the end of the video, we see the TARDIS, the blue box. The Doctor and the TARDIS has an interesting relationship. I do not want to give spoiler, but if you want to learn this relationship, you can watch the fourth episode of the sixth season of the modern series. It is explained in that episode. I definitely recommend you to watch this series. You will have a different vision of life after watching it. Have a nice travel. :)
