This great TV series turns 60 and we celebrate it. If you have never seen it, it is the opportunity to become a fan, of this wonderful English creation produced by the BBC.
If you've ever seen Star Wars, Star Treek, Galactica, or some American movie or series, with its impressive heroes and spectacular intergalactic ships, you must see Doctor Who, because it is a series that has nothing to do with what you have previously witnessed.
Doctor Who, it is not only full of creative ingenuity in its scripts, with a solid and very ingenious argument, where there is no lack of robots, monsters, extraterrestrial species, in addition to being a visual spectacle, with a unique aesthetic, original, particular, own, far away and outside the horny hollywodense paraphernalia and therefore unique.

I confess not to be an expert in Dr Who, there are those who know even the smallest detail of the saga, and even large discussions are formed around it, as I have witnessed in some other event related to Dr Who.
From the first time I saw it, I was fascinated, because it is a science fiction series, very different from all the ones I had seen so far, it has adventures, time travel, suspense, action and something that caught my attention; humor, and I think that's precisely why, because the character of the doctor, is a kind of anti-hero, who wins thousands of followers.
Doctor Who's Tardis.
The Doctor Who, he's a space-time traveler. It's basically a Time Lord who travels with various companions, usually humans in their Tardis, which is a telephone booth that inside is immense.
The Time Lords were rulers of the planet Gallifrey. The Gallifreyan were one of the oldest and most powerful civilizations in the universe, which was exterminated in the Last Great Time War. The Doctor is a pacifist even though some civilizations of the universe translate the word doctor as warrior.
The sonic screwdriver.
This screwdriver is a very versatile tool, which the doctor has modified over time, capable of opening locks, performing complicated scans, hacking computers, geolocation, has medical applications and is also used to combat certain types of weapons.
The enemies of Doctor Who.
If so far it has seemed good to you, what would be of a series without its enemies, some very bad bad and above all, very creative.
In this series we can find a wide variety of enemies. Alien species, robots, and endless variants, spectacular. So let's talk about some of them, that a series or a comic without very bad bad bad guys, does not make sense, that the enemies must be the best, to succeed.
The Cybermen.
The Cybermen will remove the fear. Cybermen will remove gender, class, color, and creed. They'll become identical. They'll become like us.
Cyber Leader
They are one of the oldest villains in the series, and great enemies of the Doctor. The Cybermen They are a race of robotically enhanced humanoids, who have no individuality, no name, no emotions, as they see them as terrible devilry.
They try to change, modify humans and other humanoids, mentally and physically, in order to create more. Cybermen.
The Daleks.
They are a race of genetically altered mutants, and super enemies of Doctor Who. Their robotic appearance is simply a breastplate, as these are mutant living beings described as grotesque creatures. Because of this mutant's body weakness, (Kaled) needs his armor to survive and move. Inside the Dalek lives, has a life support and a battle computer.
Inside this armor, there is an artificial brain vault, within which the Dalek, extinguishes even the smallest endowment of kindness and compassion.
Davros, the archenemy.
He is one of the most important enemies, and is the creator of the Daleks. Davros He is a genius who dominates multiple areas of science and intends to become the supreme ruler of the universe.
It belongs to the planet Skaro, whose people the Kaleds, who were involved in a war that lasted a thousand years, against the Thals, They mutated into the Daleks.
The Silence.
They are the priests of silence, it was a branch of the ecclesiastical forces, a militarized order that tries to kill Doctor Who, to prevent a certain prophecy from being fulfilled.
In the fields of Trenzalore , In the fall of the eleventh , when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked, a question that should never ever be answered.
The question was: Doctor who?
We could continue with a huge list of enemies of the doctor. but there is more, there is a great variety of beings, alien and humanoid species that make this series a visual delight. It is that in each episode everything changes and it is a huge surprise with what you can find. So below, we will look at some of those species so particular, and so within the aesthetics of this masterful series.
The Sontarans.
It is a humanoid race of robust constitution and dome-shaped head, which only have three fingers on each hand, although some members of its species have five fingers.
Your body, your musculature, is designed to withstand enormous loads, due to the high gravity of your planet. The culture of the Sontarans He is extremely militaristic, and puts great value on discipline and honor, those are his main virtues. Every aspect of their society is war-oriented and every experience is measured in terms of military experience.
Raxacoricofallapatorians
The Slitheen (This is their last name) are a family of calcium-based aliens who lay eggs of Raxacoricofallapatorius. They are hunters who train from a young age to be ruthless criminals, whose main motivation is profit. In their home world, they were condemned, so they do not want to return there so as not to be sentenced to death.
They measure 2.4 meters and very large forearms and powerful claws, baby face and a force on human.
Judoon.
With a humanoid body and rhino head, they have four fingers on each hand, a large lung capacity and their blood is yellow. They are intergalactic police who apply the law precisely and brutally, they also have complicated military tactics even though they are not differentiated by their intelligence and are considered as simple interplanetary thugs. The Judoon, they are forced to obey laws in the place they are located, but since they have no jurisdiction in the land, they do not have the authority to deal with crime in it.
Thijarians.
Ancient species of the planet Thijar, They evolved into the perfect killers. They communicate telepathically what is painful to any slecie, including the Time Lords. They have metalyzed heads with ctorce eyes, seven on each side and also fangs. They have the power to teleport anywhere.
After your planet was destroyed, your goal is to bear witness through time and space to those who perished.
The gallery of characters is huge, which of them are more strange and creative, from very small species, some that even look like toys, robots, androids and humanoids. If you want to see more species, I recommend you visit The Doctor Who Site where they exhibit a large gallery of these characters and by year of appearance. You can see it by clicking HERE.
As if all this were not enough, this Time Lord, has the biological ability to regenerate . This allows the Doctor to transform into a new physical form with a somewhat different personality. This has allowed different actors over time, have had the opportunity to play the role of the Doctor.
The regenerations of Doctor Who.

All incarnations except the First Doctor, the War Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor were killed.
Finally, I leave a couple of my cartoons: Peter Capaldi y Christopher Eccleston as Doctor Who. As I wrote at the beginning, I am not an expert in the saga. But over time I have become a big fan of this series, without spectacular battles, with a very ingenious and creative script, entertains and hooks, and wow, that one ends up becoming a follower of: Doctor who?
