One of the most popular shows in British TV history, this long-running, shoestring-budgeted sci-fi saga followed the exploits of "the Doctor," a maverick scientist and adventurer who traversed space and time in the TARDIS, a high-tech craft disguised (well, stuck, actually) as a London police box. William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy starred as the various eccentric incarnations of the Doctor during the series's initial 1963-1989 run.
In the distant future, the survivors of a doomed Earth--divided into the elite Guardians and the lowly Monoids--are adrift in a gigantic interplanetary ark. It falls to the Doctor (William Hartnell) and companions Steve and Dodo to save them and bring the two groups together. 100 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH).
