New version viewing order
The new version is mainly divided into three periods according to the chief operator (showrunner) or chief screenwriter:
- RTD Era (9th-10th, 1-4 seasons)
Russell T. Davis resurrected Doctor Who' and served as chief writer and executive producer for five years. RTD is known for his delicate and moving plots, and the season finales such as "Wolf" and specials such as "The End of Time" written by him are of very high quality.
- Moffat Era (11th-12th, 5-10 seasons)
Steven Moffat contributed 6 wonderful episodes in the RTD period, and he has won several Hugo and BAFTA awards. In 2010, Moffat took over as chief writer after RTD. During the Moffat Era, the popularity of the new version of Doctor Who peaked. Moffat also served as the producer of another BBC hit series "Sherlock".
- CC Era (13th, seasons 11-13)
Chris Chibnall of Broadchurch took over as head writer in 2018. Word of mouth for Doctor Who dipped in the eleventh season and picked up in the twelfth season.
- "Post-RTD" Era (expected 14th-, 60th anniversary-) On September 24, 2021, Doctor Who officially announced on social media that RTD will return as the general producer of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary special in 2023 and "after episodes". To its credit, RTD was born in 1963, the same year as Doctor Who, and the 60th anniversary special can also be regarded as a gift for himself from the outstanding producer who brought the Doctor back. Remember to say, "Thank you, RTD!".
It is recommended to watch the series in order. For the new version, you can start from Season 1 (Ninth Doctor) or Season 5 (Eleventh Doctor), as there will not be too many problems in understanding the plot.
For the old version, you can just watch Seasons 1 to 26 in the order of the episodes, and then watch the Eighth Doctor's movies.
Cameos/References
-
The Big Bang Theory -
The Big Bang Theory -
The Simpsons -
Criminal Minds -
Criminal Minds
- Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory is a big fan of the Doctor, so there are a lot of Doctor Who easter eggs on the show. In P1, Sheldon wrote his favorite CP, and the one enclosed in the lower right corner is Dr. Dalek X (???), The man in the middle in P2 cosplayed the classic look of the Fourth Doctor.
- The Fourth Doctor also made a cameo in The Simpsons. In fact, the fourth doctor is also the favorite doctor of many old fans.
- In the British drama Vicious, Freddie claimed to have played a character in Doctor Who. Interestingly, both of Vicious's leads have actually starred in Doctor Who: Ian McKellen (Freddy) voiced "Superintelligence" in the 2012 Christmas special "Snowmen", and Derek Jacoby (Stuart) starred as the first Master in an episode, in addition, Philip Voss, who plays the role of Mason Thornhill in the show, has appeared in the first and eighth seasons of the old version.
- The genius Dr. Spencer Reid in Criminal Minds is a fan of Doctor Who, so there are more images of Doctor Who in the show: He has righteously corrected the misunderstanding of the show in front of his colleagues "Tardis is not a phone booth but a police booth" When questioning the witness with his partner, he was told that "he (the witness) was in San Diego for the Doctor Who fan convention last week" and he couldn't help but sigh "that must have been a great party". When he was shot in a coma, his colleagues put figures of the Eleventh Doctor and a Dalek in front of his bed and said, "The good doctor always makes him smile".
- A tribute to the TARDIS appeared in the British drama Inside No. 9. The wardrobe full of people in this episode is called "Time and Relative Dimension in Space" because the inside is larger than the outside, that is, "TARDIS". It is worth noting that the line "Geronimo", the catchphrase of the 11th Doctor, also appeared in the episode, and the episode aired in 2006, when the new version had just been rebooted.
- The Fourth Doctor and TARDIS appeared several times in the American animation Futurama.
Trivia
- Insufficient funding: In 2001, the BBC was able to shoot "Blue Planet", but "Doctor Who", which was launched in 2005, was seriously lacking in funding in the early days.
- Location: As we all know, the famous "Doctor Who" is often filmed in Cardiff, Wales, so the best location for the desolate alien planet is the multiple scenes in Wales, the best background for character dialogue is the south coast, and the National Museum of Wales The exhibition hall of "Dalek", the international gallery in "Planet of the Dead", the exterior of Professor Lazarus' office in "The Lazarus Experiment", and the "Life Addition" The main scene of "Science in the Library"...[6] The episode "Midnight" of Season 4 even used only one soundstage.
- Orange spacesuit: As the saying goes, "wear for three years, mend for three years, and mend for another three years", "Doctor Who" has an orange spacesuit that goes beyond regeneration, appearing in the 10th Doctor episodes "The Impossible Planet", The Satan Pit, The Waters of Mars, 11th Doctor episode Hide, 12th doctor episodes Kill the Moon, The Girl Who Died. Pickup (actor of 12) also complained that there was David Tennant's (actor of 10) hairspray in the helmet.
- Three seasons of regeneration: "Doctor Who" pioneered the use of "regeneration" to give the same character different character traits. In order not to stick to the role, a Doctor's term will not exceed three seasons. After every three seasons, Whovians will start to guess who the actor of the next Doctor will be. For example, the old version of 2nd, 5th, and 7th, and the new version of 10th-13th have only three seasons of episodes. The current longest-serving doctor is the 4th, with a term of up to 7 seasons.
- The troubled city of London: In the early Christmas specials of the new Doctor Who series, it was always the British capital London that was in danger, so "Christmas London" became a very dangerous place.
- Behind the Sofa: First appeared in the British media in the 1970s, used to describe the situation where children who were terrified by Doctor Who hid behind the sofa and not dared to look at the TV until the scary scenes had passed. Even Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who lived in Windsor Castle, used the term to describe his childhood experience of watching Doctor Who. It has become a common phrase in the British media - it is terrifying on the surface, but it implies a prepared, comfortable and safe home environment; coupled with the humble special effects often cited as national jokes in the early doctors, hiding in the "sofa". "Behind the sofa" implies a British-style self-deprecating spirit.
Notice before editing
Although MGP has an article that specifically informs this part of the rules, some people do not have time to read it and start to change it, which makes us very troubled. So here is a reminder to the editors again:
