The cover of the Big Finish fifth Doctor story Tartarus. Released in September 2019

[Susan Foreman]

#22 in the BFI’s 100 BBC Television Gamechangers – a list of landmark television programmes and events that 'changed the face of the nation'

"Doctor Who (1963 to 1989, 2005-)

The adventures of a human-like alien who travels through time and space

How it changed TV

Beginning modestly in 1963 as a family-friendly tea-time adventure series, Doctor Who developed into the longest running TV sci-fi series in the world. The arrival of the Daleks – demonic deformed creatures encased in a mobile metal shell – heralded the future change of the production away from a history-based, semi-educational series, towards being a hard sci-fi creature-of-the-week show that combined fantasy adventure with philosophical ideas filtered through a peculiarly British lens.

The massive success of that first Dalek adventure elevated the show to a new level, and provided a blueprint for the series for 40 years. But arguably the biggest gamechanging element of Doctor Who lies in how it inspired a generation of talents that followed, including Bill Bailey (who cites it as the reason he got interested in TV), Joseph Michael Straczynski (the US show-runner who names Terry Nation – creator of the Daleks – as one of his greatest inspirations), Grant Morrison (whose first writing job was for Doctor Who magazine) and writers Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat, who both became show runners on the show’s rebooted, 21st-century incarnation."
