I’m just going to make it clear that I will to talk about a British television-show.
Did you know that when the episodes are playing, there are around 6.1 million people sitting
in total silence every episode, not looking at the phones just focusing on the show, and that’s
just in Britain.
People assume that Doctor Who is just a straight progression from a season to season, but
actually from a non-linear, non-subjective view point it’s more like a big ball of wibbely-
wobbely, timey-wimey... stuff.
Doctor Who has been in the Guinness World Records for two things, for the longest running
si-fi television-show and for the “most successful” si.fi series of all time – based on it’s over
all broadcast ratings, DVD, books sales and iTunes traffic.
November 23 1963 the television show started, so this November there will be the 50th
anniversary of the show.
The show is divided in two parts, the classic series and the new ones. The classic is from
1963 to 1996 and the new ones from 2005 until now. You don’t necessarily have to watch the
classic ones to understand the new ones.
So, Doctor Who is a British Si-Fi television show and which might be quite obvious, the main
character is called “The Doctor” and it’s about him and his companions, both male and female
characters. The Doctor is a Time Lord, which means, his an alien. He looks like a human
and one of the biggest different is that he got two hearts. The whole plot is about him and his
companions protecting the earth and saving the universe. They travel in a time machine called
the TARDIS, which is short for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. The TARDIS looks
like a police box.
So, why should you watch Doctor Who? Well, there are many reasons why, but here’s a few:
there’s not so much violence, so if you want to you can watch it with your family. And there’s
not that much sex either and I really think that that is one fantastic thing, that you don’t need
violence ore sex to make a TV-show brilliant! The show also has strong characters both male
and female. All characters are different to each other and their personality isn’t based on their
gender.
Well and why shouldn’t you want to watch it? Just as all TV-shows it will take a lot of time
to watch it. The new series are seven seasons but just try to take it in your own time and
I’m sure you will enjoy it. Some people might say that it sounds complicated and that’s not
totally wrong. This show is actually a bit complicated but as everything, let it take some time
and soon enough you will understand. And don’t be like “I know what’s gonna happen next”
because you don’t know, this is not a show of logic. Not in to Si-Fi? No problem, I personally
don’t think that is a big problem. There’s a lot of wonderful dialog, they don’t just spit out the
words, they say something meaningful. The relations between the characters and the message
they bring is so wonderful and something you can use in real life. One last problem might be
that some people say it’s a bit boring in the beginning but come on, the first season is from
2005, and the technology and special effects just wasn't so good back then. Let it take some
time and you’ll see that it is getting better and better.
This speech is ending, but the story never ends. We’re all stories in the end; just make it a
good one. You where fantastic class and you know what? So was I!
