Assignment 25- Megan Woodrum

Doctor Who is legitimately the best television show ever made, it is my life. Doctor who had its fiftieth anniversary in December, it began in 1963 as a television show meant to teach kids about historic events with a time traveling alien called The Doctor. The show adapt over the years into a drama and more and more complex story lines emerged. It hasn't had the same actors over the years, the type of alien that the doctor is, a Time Lord, have twelve regenerations, meaning when it comes time for the Doctor to die he instead changes his atomic structure so he becomes a new person. This aspect of the show allows it to adapt to the times and remain popular, but it's always heartbreaking for the fans when a Doctor has to leave. This upcoming season is the first with a new Doctor, Matt Smith had his last episode in December and Peter Capaldi will take his place.
