plot

Main character "The Doctor"

Jodie Whittaker , current 13th doctorate since December 2017 (2018)

The Doctor is the central protagonist in Doctor Who . Since the term is used less as an academic degree than as a proper name, the spelling Der Doctor is sometimes used in German in this context.

The TARDIS

From the beginning there are many secrets surrounding the doctor. One rarely learns personal things about him. He owns a time-space machine called the TARDIS , which is much larger on the inside and looks like an old-fashioned English police emergency booth. TARDIS stands for " T ime A nd R elative D DIMENSION (s) I n S pace", thereby clear that these machines both in the time can also travel in space - throughout the series the Doctor even traveled to parallel universes. In the German synchronization TARDIS sometimes (for example in TV movie 1996 ) for Backronym for " T rips a ue r elativer D imensionen i m S tern tent". Every TARDIS has a cloaking device, but the doctor's does not work because the “chameleon circuit” of his TARDIS is defective.

The Doctor himself belongs to a species whose time travelers call themselves Timelords and come from the planet Gallifrey. In his eighth incarnation he once claimed that he was only half a Timelord and that he was descended from a human on his mother's side. Nevertheless, he grew up on the home planet of the Timelords, Gallifrey.

The real name of the doctor is his greatest secret to this day. He always introduces himself as “The Doctor”, which is often followed by the question that gives the series its title: “Doctor who?” (English for “Doctor who?”). If he can't avoid appearing with a common name, he usually calls himself John Smith  - a name that is the combination of the (men's) first and last name most common in English.

Regarding the question of whether or in which subject area he even has a doctorate , there are various statements in the course of the series. He initially stated that he was not a doctor of medicine, but later claims to have studied with the well-known surgeons Joseph Lister and Joseph Bell , and finally specifies that he studied in Glasgow for a medical degree in the 19th century . It is also mentioned several times that he is a doctor of many things .

Like all Timelords, he has the ability to "regenerate" if he is mortally wounded. The process itself is usually extremely uncomfortable for the doctor and is often associated with temporary disturbances such as memory loss or confusion. In addition, its appearance and character change significantly. Depending on the regeneration, the doctor may, for example, have a more serious, dark or humorous impact. A change of sex is also possible.

A Timelord can regularly go through this process twelve times and thus have a total of thirteen incarnations. Since the eleventh doctor, contrary to the numbering, was already the thirteenth incarnation, the doctor's existence should actually have ended after him. However, he was granted a new cycle from a rift in the universe, which apparently represents a connection to the Timelords, which allows him another twelve regenerations.

The process of regeneration made it possible to keep the series fresh for over 50 years without any noticeable fundamental changes in the concept. These ever changing doctors were not planned from the start, but were introduced out of necessity, since the first doctor William Hartnell had to struggle with health problems.

Companions of the doctor

In order not to be too lonely, the doctor usually travels with selected companions. The first companion was his 15-year-old granddaughter Susan Foreman. Later there are different people who mostly meet the doctor by chance, go through an adventure with him and then join his travels. Over the years these have mainly been people from Earth, but also the robot dog K-9 or travelers from distant planets.

Current companion

Bradley Walsh , starring in Graham O'Brien (2012)

Graham O'Brien ( Bradley Walsh ) first appears in episode 11.01, where he meets the newly regenerated thirteenth doctor. He was a bus driver in Sheffield (retired from cancer), where he lives with his wife Grace and their grandson Ryan Sinclair. His relationship with Ryan is strained because the latter does not want to accept him as his grandfather, which is quite a burden for Graham. After his wife is killed in the fight against the alien manhunter Tim Shaw, he joins the doctor on their travels with Ryan and his old school friend Yasmin Khan.

Ryan Sinclair ( Tosin Cole ) first appears in episode 11:01. Ryan lives in Sheffield with his grandmother Grace and her husband Graham O'Brien. He suffers from dyspraxia , which means that he still has problems with cycling even at a later age. When Graham tries to teach him this, he discovers an alien pod in the forest, which leads him, his grandparents and his old school friend Yasmin Khan into contact with the newly regenerated thirteenth doctor and an alien manhunter named Tim Shaw. After his grandmother dies fighting Shaw, he, Graham and Yasmin join the doctor's travels.

Mandip Gill , actress of Yasmin Khan (2018)

Yasmin "Yaz" Khan ( Mandip Gill ) had her first appearance in episode 11.01. She works for the Sheffield Police Department and meets her old school friend Ryan Sinclair after a long time on duty when he discovers an alien pod. This belongs to an alien human hunter named Tim Shaw. Through this event she meets the newly regenerated Thirteenth Doctor, whose travels she joins after Ryan's grandmother Grace is killed in the fight against Shaw. On a trip she meets her grandmother as a young woman the day before her wedding.

History of origin

Initial release

The first episode of Doctor Who entitled An Unearthly Child ( " The child of the stars ") was broadcast on Saturday, 23 November 1963. It was part of a four-part story. After the fatal assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy in the USA the day before dominated the media, the episode was repeated on Saturday, November 30th at the instigation of producer Verity Lambert and intervention with her boss "Drama" of the BBC Sydney Newman . The BBC traced the story of the ideas and genesis of these first episodes in 2013 in the documentary An Adventure in Space and Time in television or feature film format as a Dr. Who Special.

In the course of the next few years until 1989 a total of 700 episodes of the series were broadcast in 26 seasons. A particularly formative screenwriter of the series from 1968 to 1974 was Terrance Dicks , who was called Uncle Terrance by fans of the series. Since March 2005, new seasons have been broadcast on the BBC that build on the events of the classic series. So far, the new series has more than 155 episodes in twelve seasons (plus various specials).

Between 1989 and 2005 countless books, radio plays, some special programs and in 1996 a television film were made. With new episodes running since 2005, this series holds the record for being the longest running science fiction series in the world. The theme music for the series was written by Ron Grainer . Murray Gold was in charge of the series from 2005 to 2017 and wrote several adaptations of the classic theme song during this time. The best-known screenwriter of the new episodes is Russell T Davies , he successfully brought the series back in 2005 and was the showrunner until 2010, when Steven Moffat , who won the Hugo-winning The Empty Child / The Doctor in the Davies era , took over Dances , Girl in the Fireplace and Blink wrote some of the best scripts in 2008. After the 2017 Christmas Special, Chris Chibnall ( Broadchurch , Torchwood ) took the helm as the third showrunner in the new series. Segun Akinola is the new composer of the series.

Most of the series episodes are available on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK, but some of the old episodes of the classic series are only available as audio tracks on CD.

Doctor Who in Germany

The ZDF had examined a purchase of Doctor Who in 1968 . However, after viewing "The Ice Warriors" (5.11-5.16), the broadcaster's series commission unanimously decided not to make a recommendation to acquire a license. In addition to decor and costumes, the books in the series were also criticized.

Before the first television broadcast by a German broadcaster, there were various episodes of Doctor Who as a children's book by Franz Schneider Verlag , published from around 1970. From this time on, Doctor Who was broadcast in Germany by the British military broadcaster BFBS and was thus in parts of northern and western Germany and to be received in Berlin at least in English.

Doctor Who was broadcast on German television for the first time on November 22, 1989. RTL plus began broadcasting with the then newest, seventh doctor. When only two weeks later the series after the last episode of Survival on December 6, 1989 in England was (for the time being) discontinued and only material from three seasons was available for broadcasting, this meant the very quick series death for Doctor Who in Germany . At later times, RTL broadcast repeats several times, sometimes only in the Saturday night hours, and then passed the rights on to the broadcaster VOX , which then acquired and synchronized the 6th in addition to the 7th doctor. Additional parts, for example, have been shown in German language The Five Doctors ( The Five Doctors ) . The television film from 1996 is available in German as VHS video and DVD.

On January 26, 2008, the new episodes of the ninth and tenth doctor began to be broadcast on ProSieben . Up until February 9, the first six episodes of the first season (or the 27th season if counting consistently) were broadcast in a shortened version every Saturday in the early afternoon and then withdrawn from the program early due to low audience ratings. From April 13, 2008, the series continued on a new slot on late Sunday afternoon. On August 31, the station broadcast the last episode of the second season. Both seasons were published in parallel on DVD and were available via the ProSiebenSat.1 Media subsidiary Maxdome and Amazon Instant Video via video-on-demand .

From December 21, 2011, new episodes ran, beginning with the fifth season and the eleventh Doctor, on the pay-TV channel FOX . After the fifth and sixth season, FOX began airing the seventh season in the winter of 2012; In addition, the rights to the previously skipped seasons 3 and 4 had been secured and these were broadcast from September 12, 2012.

TimeLash has been held since autumn 2015 , an annual convention for the series that takes place in Kassel .

Doctor Who returned to German screens in 2016 : The public broadcaster Einsfestival took seasons five to nine into its program from the end of February. Then, from April 2017, the first season with the ninth doctor began to be broadcast on the channel, which has now been renamed One , followed by seasons 2 to 4 (tenth doctor).

Other seasons of the new edition will also be shown on ONE on Tuesdays . The 10th season with Peter Capaldi as the 12th doctor was first broadcast on ONE from September 2018. The 11th season with Jodie Whittaker as the 13th doctor has been shown on ONE for the first time in Germany since September 2019. The episodes broadcast on ONE will be repeated on the internet channel of funk , there also in the original English language version.

Since August 2017, further episodes of the classic era of the series have appeared for the first time in a German-dubbed version on DVD.

Technical details

  • From 1963 to 1969 the program was recorded and broadcast in black and white. In the first three years, the programs were even recorded using the 405-line method , which was then common in England; it was not until 1967 that the higher-resolution 625-line method was used. With the appearance of the third doctor in 1970, Doctor Who then became colored. The new 2005 series is the first to be broadcast in 16: 9 format, although the recordings are not in HDTV format. From the 31st season (5th season since the restart), Doctor Who will also be available in HD. With the 37th season (11th season since the restart), the series switched to the 2: 1 format (also called 18: 9 or Univisium ).
  • A very characteristic feature of the classic series up to the mid-1980s was the production method: outdoor recordings were made on 16 mm film, while studio scenes were recorded directly on video tape. As a result, a simple change of scene often means a major leap in quality in terms of image resolution , lighting , image frequency and color space . Since the last season of the sixth doctor (season 23), the outdoor recordings are also made on video.
  • Due to the high cost of video tapes and video editing in the early 1960s, the episodes of the first doctor were produced almost like a live broadcast: entire scenes were recorded as a take and broadcast practically uncut. As a result, you can spot a number of slip-ups and production errors in the early episodes.
  • During the entire duration of the original series (1963-1989), the show suffered from the problem of budget constraints . She never reached the high technical standards that American series such as Star Trek presented - a fate she shared with the German production Raumpatrouille (spaceship Orion). For this reason, the show was often ridiculed by non- fans ; they made fun of wobbling cardboard backdrops and rubber monsters. Followers of the show, on the other hand, praised the high-quality dialogues and creative stories. The new episodes broadcast from 2005 onwards are technically up-to-date, and for the first time the special effects also have a clearly visible high quality in the sense of a photo-realistic reproduction.
  • In contrast to most other science fiction programs such as Star Trek , the vast majority of the classic Doctor Who episodes consist of sequels. These are multi-parts with typically four to six episodes of 25 minutes each, in individual cases even up to 14 episodes. The 725 episodes of the classic series result in a total of 159 complete stories. The new episodes broadcast from 2005, on the other hand, are mostly self-contained stories of 45 minutes each; But there are also two-part films and two three-part films, the finale of season 29 (3rd season since the restart) and in the 36th season (10th season since the restart) episodes 6 to 8.

There are currently over 40 self-contained storylines on DVD. All have appeared with a multitude of extras and digitally revised images and sound. Further episodes appear at regular intervals.

Lost episodes

97 episodes from the first six seasons of Doctor Who can no longer be found today, 79 of them from seasons 3 to 5. Until the 1970s, it was customary to keep tapes only for a few years; then they were reused and dubbed. The first Dalek episode, for example, escaped destruction in 1978 by accident, which was supposed to be carried out as part of a routine BBC action. However, there were recordings of all tapes on 16 mm film, which was used as an international exchange format. These had to be passed on after broadcast, returned to the BBC or destroyed. In the 1970s, many of these films were destroyed and some were archived. A few more episodes or parts of episodes were found after a worldwide search e.g. B. found in Hong Kong; Nevertheless, many films are still missing , including for the most part the episodes from the Patrick Troughton era (some William Hartnell episodes are also considered lost, but not as many as Troughton's).

Furthermore, a number of episodes from the beginning of the Jon Pertwee era have only survived in black and white. For some of these episodes it was possible to reconstruct the color with the help of private recordings. Some of the episodes contain color information in the form of “ chroma dots ” on the black-and-white films , which can be seen as characteristic disturbances in the black-and-white image. A process was developed that allows the color to be recovered from this information. The 3rd episode of Planet of the Daleks (episode 347; 10.17) was restored using a combination of this method and classic coloring . However, there are audio recordings of all the "lost" episodes that have been released by the BBC on CD, DVD and MC. There are also multimedia CDs or DVDs that contain hundreds of still existing still images , so that it was possible to reconstruct all the episodes (unofficially) by means of additional scrolling text , short sections of existing film material and animations.

In 2006, the Doctor Who story line The Invasion (episodes 221-228; 6.11 to 6.18) was released on DVD, in which 2 (episode 221; 6.11, episode 224; 6.14) of the 8 parts are no longer available. These were from the BBC using Flash - animations restored. In December 2011 two more episodes found their way back to the BBC: the third part of the episode Galaxy 4 and the second part of the episode The Underwater Menace . In October 2013, eleven episodes from the fifth season were rediscovered on a television station in the Nigerian city ​​of Jos : the full six-part film The Enemy of the World and five of the six episodes of The Web of Fear . Nine of the eleven episodes were considered lost by then. According to Philip Morris, the finder, all episodes of The Web of Fear have been found. However, shortly before his departure, the third episode disappeared. He thinks it was stolen by private collectors.

In 2019, a remake of the episode Mission to the Unkown was released on the series' official YouTube channel . This was filmed by the University of Central Lancashire . Nicholas Briggs, the voice of the Daleks in the new series, also acted here in this role.

Cast and dubbing

The series had been dubbed in Munich since the early 1980s; only the television film from 1996 was edited in Hamburg. The dubbing for seasons 21 to 26 took place at HW Film, and the episodes were dubbed by Hendrik Wiethase , who had also written the dialogue book . These two activities were carried out by Kai Taschner when synchronizing series 1 and 2 and carried out at Scalamedia. After switching to Fox Germany on pay TV, the decision was made to synchronize the new seasons with the Cologne-based dubbing studio Splendid Synchron . Luise Charlotte Brings has been responsible for the dialogue book and dialogue direction since season 3 , with Christian Schneider also covering these activities in seasons 3 to 7 and Klaus Terhoeven writing the dialogue book for some episodes of the seventh season.
The synchronization of new episodes from the classic era of the series is currently being done by Metz-Neun Synchron Studio- und Verlags GmbH in Offenbach, with Manuel Karakas writing the dialogue book and also being responsible for the dialogue direction.

reception

Importance in pop culture

The series - and especially the Doctor  - has a long tradition in Great Britain and is an important part of popular culture there. A big evening show will be held at prime time to announce the next doctoral actor. As a comparison for the importance that Doctor Who has in the English-speaking world, one can use the popularity of the television crime series Tatort in this country .

miscellaneous

The statements to be found here are better placed elsewhere in the article if they are adequately documented (see also the explanations in the film format , the recommendations for the structure of an article and the reluctance to use lists ).
  • Douglas Adams , author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , wrote some scripts and templates. He reused some motifs as the basis for his novel The Electric Monk , the first volume in his Dirk Gently series. The third volume of his pickup series, Life, the Universe and Everything , based on a rejected by the BBC Doctor Who script names Dr. Who and the Krikkitmen .
  • In The Simpsons , there is a figure showing the doctor as he was played by Tom Baker (episode 7:09 Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming , he appears as "Estimated representative" of television on). Tom Baker was the doctorate for many Americans as his adventures were the first to air after being imported into the United States. In episode 10.10 the doctor hands out autographs at a science fiction fair.
  • In Family Guy in the episode Blue Harvest , which is a parody of the first Star Wars film , an excerpt from the Doctor Who intro from 1974 to 1979 can be seen with the fourth doctor as "hyperspace" as the protagonists enter hyperspace for the first time on their ship Millennium Falcon .
  • In the English humor series Dead Ringers , Jon Culshaw often used the figure of the fourth doctor. Sometimes he calls someone, sometimes he walks around shopping. Among other things, he calls his "predecessors" as the fourth doctor (Tom Baker) and also Tom Baker himself in the person of the doctor. This led to classic quotes like Tom Baker's surprised " NO, I am the Doctor!" Or New Year's Eve McCoy's "Tom, have you been in the pub?"
  • In the backdrops of the Rome series , a major fire in the Cinecittà studios caused considerable damage. As a result, the second foreign filming for a Doctor Who episode that should use the same scenery had to be postponed.
  • Doctor Who is now - like the radio play series The Archers, which has been running since 1950, or the Lindenstrasse role models Coronation Street and EastEnders - so much part of British cultural heritage that references to the series repeatedly appear in contemporary British literature that are often not understandable for German readers.
  • In the 1988 episode Remembrance of the Daleks, the Doctor travels to Earth in 1963 to prevent the Daleks from finding Omega's hand . In one take, Ace (the seventh doctor's companion) leaves a room in a house with a television on. The camera pans back to the television and a spokesman for the BBC announces the first episode of a new science fiction series: Doctor ...
  • In Eragon - The Wisdom of Fire by Christopher Paolini there is a comment about a "Lonely God". At the end of the book, Paolini admits that he meant the doctor and that he was also a fan. In Eragon - The Legacy of Power , the text “Vortices of light revolving in caves deep underground; Men who are getting younger; talking stones and creeping shadows; Rooms that were bigger from the inside than from the outside ”( Christopher Paolini : Eragon - The Legacy of Power ) made an allusion to seasons 2 to 4.
  • In the Star Trek universe, there are some references to Doctor Who .
    • In Star Trek: Enterprise 2.16 (The Future) , a time travel ship was bigger inside than outside.
    • In Star Trek: The Next Generation 1.26 (The Neutral Zone) , a family tree was shown on a display, the members of which bore the names of the first 6 doctoral actors.
  • In 2012, Assimilation² was a crossover between Star Trek and Doctor Who .
  • The NASA has a prototype named a new Mars probe to the robot dog K-9th
  • In the game Fallout 2 you can win a robot dog named K-9 as a companion. In the predecessor Fallout , it is also possible to come across the TARDIS as a rare chance encounter.
  • In Supernatural episode 2.12 (The Mandroid) you see - in a conversation between Sam, Dean and Ron - a cyberman briefly on the cover of a magazine, and Ron has a theory about "mandroids" who want to take over the world, and in episode 7.03 ("The nice girl next door") is Sam's old friend Amy Pond.
  • In South Park ep.10.13 (God is Dead Part 2) Eric Cartman has a robot dog named K-10 in allusion to K-9.
  • Also in South Park , episode 15.02 (Funnybot), a Dalek-like robot appears as a comedy star and also uses the exclamation “Exterminate!”.
  • In Eureka - The Secret City episode 3.04 (The Time Loop) Sheriff Jack Carter's sister, who is trapped in a temporal loop, found her "Doctor Who" in a conversation. The scene repeats itself several times through the time loop. In episode 4.07, when he hacks into the Ministry of Defense's computer, Zane asks Donovan whether the protagonists need anything else, like TARDIS blueprints. In episode 4.12, Zane Donovan asks Jo Lupo if her house, like the TARDIS, is bigger on the inside than it seems on the outside.
  • In The Big Bang Theory , the main character is Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper wakes up every Saturday morning at 6:15 a.m. to make himself a bowl of cereal with a quart of milk, sit in his seat, and then watch Doctor Who . In season 5, episode 14, Sheldon, Amy, Penny and Leonard sit in front of the TV and watch Doctor Who . When Amy says that the Doctor clearly seems to have a penchant for today's London while having a machine that could travel anywhere, Sheldon warns her that such statements could result in someone not attending this year's WhoCon ( Based on ComicCon). When Penny Leonard points out that even Doctor Who is not interesting enough to be able to define television as a "date", Sheldon withdraws her invitation to WhoCon immediately. In addition, the series or elements from it are often mentioned. Howard sings for his Bernadette about the fact that he would be without her like Doctor Who without his TARDIS. He was also the owner of a life-size replica of the TARDIS, which he later had to give to Amy.
  • In Better Off Ted , episode 2.05, the two scientists Lamb and Phil go to a laboratory where old robots are being decommissioned. There is a Dalek right next to the door.
  • In the episode Her Best Friend's Bottom of the BBC series Coupling (season 2, episode 3) Steve gives a talk to his friends about the need for pillows on sofas and explains that sofas also protect against Daleks. The Daleks have been omitted from the German translation. The term “behind the sofa” became a British pop culture phrase that describes the fearful response of hiding behind the sofa to protect yourself from terrifying parts of a television broadcast.
  • In Leverage ep.1.05, Hardison says that it took him half an hour to download the new episode of Doctor Who because of the poor internet connection . In episode 1.08, Nathan and Sophie have ID cards that are issued to Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, and Tom and "Sarah Jane" Baker.

However, it is difficult to recognize due to the face paint and clothing of the priestesses. Peter Capaldi , who was introduced as the 12th doctor in 2013, also appeared in a major supporting role in the same episode, and played the marble dealer Ceacillius. This was explained in the 5th episode of the 9th season of the new series.
