Doctor Who has a unique way of renewing itself that other shows do n’t have , making each Doctor ’s intro feel like a pilot for a new show .

Doctor Whois a unique show in many way , and why it has so many fans , but the most unique part about it is that every time a new Doctor go far , their first instalment is practically the pilot sequence of abrand new show . No other show before or after can do this , and that ’s fascinating . You could almost sayDoctor Whohasn’t been one show but fifteen .

Doctor Who: The Old Days

In the 1960s , whenWilliam Hartnellhad to leaveDoctor Whodue to his wellness issues , many of the same author were still sour on the show , so whenPatrick Troughtontook over as the Second Doctor , the show still felt the same , consistent in timbre , mostly . But since they had a younger Doctor who could do more physical work than Hartnell , the serial step by step began to feel different . Troughton brought a slapstick clowning vibration to the Doctor in between the serious parts . When Jon Pertweetook over in 1970 , the series need on a raw looking and feel with colour picture taking and a more action mechanism - bound James Bond vibe . His stories are set ab initio on Earth , but his last time of year pop to take place on another planet . By the timeTom Bakercame along , the UNIT part of the story was phased out , and his running was space and fourth dimension travel with some mediaeval horror and wackier humour . Peter Davison ’s metre was a team show with the new Doctor at the time who traveled with multiple fellow like bickering college roommates . Colin Bakerfronted the sour and most wild era of the show with the angriest Doctor . Sylvester McCoy ’s series was about a operator of events across Space and Time . Paul McGann ’s TV movie and fail pilot was a glossy and kind of dense mid-90s US Science Fiction show .

A New Show With a New Doctor in the Modern Era

The vibration that a new Doctor ’s first episode is a new show is more consistent in the modernistic era , to the extent that both Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat have aver as much .

Davies returning for the Disney+ era made it a new show again , first withDavid Tennantin a sequel to his outpouring but brighter and flashier , thenNcuti Gatwa ’s era is yet another newfangled series that ’s more excited and bright with a bigger budget . It ’s the same show but different . In that way , Doctor Whois middling much all telecasting .
