A Doctor Who Podcast
Doctor Who is both a television show and a global multimedia franchise created and controlled by the BBC. It centres on a time traveller called “the Doctor”, who seemingly comes from a race of beings known as Time Lords. They travel through space and time in a time machine they call the TARDIS. This ship — which looks like a small, London police box on the outside — has nearly infinite dimensions on the inside.
