Editing Doctor Who (section)

==Premise==
''Doctor Who'' follows the adventures of the title character, a rogue [[Time Lord]] with somewhat unknown origins who goes by the name "[[the Doctor]]". The Doctor fled [[Gallifrey]], the planet of the Time Lords, in a stolen [[TARDIS]] ("Time and Relative Dimension(s) in Space"), a [[time machine]] that travels by materialising into, and dematerialising out of, the time vortex. The TARDIS has a vast interior but appears smaller on the outside, and is equipped with a "[[chameleon circuit]]" intended to make the machine take on the appearance of local objects as a disguise. Because of a malfunction, the Doctor's TARDIS remains fixed as a blue British [[police box]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Doctor Who: Why The Tardis Looks Like A Police Box |url=https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-tardis-police-box-reason/ |access-date=16 April 2023 |work=Screen Rant}}</ref>

Across time and space, the Doctor's many incarnations often find events that pique their curiosity, and try to prevent evil forces from harming innocent people or changing history, using only ingenuity and minimal resources, such as the versatile [[sonic screwdriver]]. The Doctor rarely travels alone and is often joined by one or more [[Companion (Doctor Who)|companions]] on these adventures; these companions are usually humans, owing to the Doctor's fascination with planet [[Earth]], which also leads to frequent collaborations with the international military task force [[UNIT]] when Earth is threatened.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bacon |first=Thomas |date=25 November 2023 |title=Doctor Who's UNIT: Origins & History With The Doctor Explained |url=https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-unit-scientific-advisers-history-explained/ |access-date=5 January 2024 |website=ScreenRant}}</ref> The Doctor is centuries old and, as a Time Lord, has the ability to [[Regeneration (Doctor Who)|regenerate]] when there is mortal damage to their body.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Elvy |first=Craig |date=28 August 2019 |title=Why Each Doctor Regenerated In Doctor Who |url=https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-every-regeneration-reason/ |access-date=5 January 2024 |website=ScreenRant}}</ref> The Doctor's various incarnations have gained numerous recurring enemies during their travels, including the [[Dalek]]s, their creator [[Davros]], the [[Cybermen]], and the renegade Time Lord [[The Master (Doctor Who)|the Master]].<ref name="DeadliestVillains">{{Cite web |last1=Ashford |first1=Sage |last2=Lowthian |first2=Declan |date=23 September 2018 |title=The 25 Deadliest Doctor Who Villains in the Franchise, Ranked |url=https://www.cbr.com/doctor-who-villains-ranked/ |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=CBR}}</ref>
