Oh, also, I have to explain Doctor Who for Star as well... cos that's just how I roll! ;-)

Right, so there's this man, called the Doctor. He looks human, but he isn't. He has two hearts, switches bodies instead of dying (regenerates) and is called a Time Lord. Right now, he's also the second last Time Lord in existence. He likes to fly around space and time in his little blue box, which is bigger on the inside and called a TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space). He also gets lonely, and picks up friends (they're NOT always female!) who come along and have adventures with him. Some of these friends are useless (see Martha, Rose and Captain Jack) some of them are super (see Sarah-Jane and Donna) and some of them are made of pure win (see Amy Pond, Rory the Roman and River Song). Sometimes they save him from various moral and physical dilemmas... sometimes he saves them, and the entire world from nasty aliens named Daleks (they fly around the universe and shout EXTERMINATE) or Cybermen (they like to eat brains. No, seriously. They're metal men who need living human components inside of them to function, so they either try to eat you up, or electrocute you, which they call DELETING) or Judoon (space rhinos. Now really evil) or Sontaran (very short, very grumpy, very honourable) or MULTIPLE OTHER RACES. So basically, he's a very handy guy to have around. Right now he has a silly chin, floppy hair, a tweed suit, suspenders and a bow tie (bow ties are cool. so are fezzes) as he marches around the universe, but previously he looked very different.

Doctor Who is also interesting because it first aired as a show in 1963. It carried on until 1989, when a whole bunch of things happened and it ended up stopping. Luckily for me, however, a REALLY irritating dude named Russell T Davies decided to restart Doctor Who in 2005. (If you want to watch it online, that's the series you should start from) And then, a few years later, in 2010, this truly AWESOME dude named Steven Moffat took the reins from Davies, and it's his incredible writing that we are all watching now. Yay!

Does that answer your question, Star? xD
