2. Doctor Who is a British science-fiction
television programme produced by the BBC from 1963 to
the present day. The programme depicts the adventures
of the Doctor, a Time Lord (a time-
travelling humanoid alien). He explores the universe in
his TARDIS, a sentient time-travelling space ship. Along
with a succession of companions, the Doctor faces a
variety of foes while working to save civilisations, help
ordinary people, and right wrongs.

4. Regeneration is a biological ability exhibited by Time
Lords. This process allows a Time Lord who is old or
mortally wounded to undergo a transformation into a new
physical form and a somewhat different personality. The
process has been used eleven times throughout the
history of the franchise as a device for introducing a new
actor for the role of its main character, the Doctor.

5. A TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) is a product of the
advanced technology of the Time Lords. A properly maintained and piloted
TARDIS can transport its occupants to any point in time and any place in the
universe. The interior of a TARDIS is much larger than its exterior, which can
blend in with its surroundings using the ship's "chameleon circuit". TARDISes
also possess a degree of sentience (which has been expressed in a variety of
ways ranging from implied machine personality and free will through to the
use of a conversant avatar) and provide their users with additional tools and
abilities including a telepathically based universal translation system

7. Sometimes called the sonic, is a highly versatile tool used
by the Doctor. He modified and ostensibly upgraded it over the
years, giving it an increasing number of applications. Early
versions were used mainly for the picking of locks and for
projecting sound so as to, for example, detonate bombs. Later,
it was also used as a sophisticated scanning device, with
medical applications. Subsequent incarnations gave it even
wider functionality, such as the ability to hack into computers,
provide geolocation and actively defend against some types of
assault weapons.
