Doctor is one of the longest-running shows in the history of British television. It has a total of 850 episodes in over 37 seasons (still can’t come close to Indian TV shows that have been running for more than a decade!). Well, this sci-fi TV series started in 1963 on BBC, and ever since its inception, it has been a sci-fi series with details, creative storylines, and characters- that are hard to find in today’s time. We all have seen many sci-fi series with white-haired eccentric scientists trying to defy time and create a time-traveling machine- but not many have created different planets, have been on adventures in varied timelines, and named their traveling vehicle (like Tardis!). So, let’s travel inside the world of this quirky doc and read some of the most iconic and memorable dialogues from the Doctor Who series.
