Doctor Who

Doctor Who was a fictional science fiction television series that was broadcast in the 20th and 21st centuries.

The main character in the programme is known as the Doctor, a renegade Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, who travels in time and space in his TARDIS. The lengthy duration of the series was due to the fact that the lead actor could be changed by a process known as regeneration.

In the 23rd century, episodes of the series were carried in the memory banks of Federation starships, such as the USS Enterprise. In 2275, several crewmembers watched an episode featuring the Fourth Doctor in the recreation room. (TOS novel: Rihannsu: My Enemy, My Ally).
