DR. WHO? That is just the point. Nobody knows precisely who he is, this mysterious exile from another world and a distant future whose adventures begin today. But this much is known: he has a ship in which he can travel through space and time – although, owing to a defect in its instruments he can never be sure where and when his ‘landings’ may take place. And he has a grand-daughter Susan, a strange amalgam of teenage normality and uncanny intelligence.

December 2nd, 2012 - 9:56amSeeing as Doctor Who is 50 next year, it seems like the ideal year for the BBC to create a brand new TV channel completely 100% devoted to NOTHING but DOCTOR WHO !!!!!!!!!!! 😀
No other TV series is the world has a channel devoted to it, so Doctor Who can therefore have the honour of being the first.
It could repeat classic and new stories, talk about fandom, review the latest merchandise, upcoming events etc.
I did ask the BBC about it on their YouTube channel along time ago but they just ignore comments [typical !!].
Not sure what the channel would be called thou if it existed so I’m up for suggestions like maybe –
DWTV – The Official Doctor Who TV Channel
