I've never seen Doctor Who.
And knowing that you're a fan, can you give me a run down of what kind of show it is?
Uh...tough one.
It's basically the story of a renegade TimeLord running through time investigating strange things while battling evil.
To pick little slices of shows:
He's had to save a young lady from a set of Quantum Assassins that can move anytime you're not looking at them at lightning speed...by video tape.
He's took on a reality TV show where the contestants are being used to fuel an alien takeover of Earth.
He's had to stop a mad alien from undoing the explosion that caused life on Earth to occur.
He's had to stop Madame De Pompadour from being captured by Clockwork Robits from the Future.
He's had to stop a small child with a gasmask during Wartime London who was infecting everyone he touched with a zombifying weapon that made them into clones of himself.
He's fought off a set of living shadows in the Universe's greatest library.
And it's been running now for 34
seasons over 756 episodes, 11(13) Doctors and 47 years, on and off.
There's been possibly every genre you can think of involved, and while there has been some naff episodes, they're always great TV.
Trying to sum it up, even briefly, is almost impossible, but I think if you start off with
Blink, you'll get a good feel for it.
