Doctor Who?

[greatbriton]

Ok. So how does this Doctor Who thing work?

Every new season there's a new Doctor? Or when/how do they determine a new Doctor?

I have never watched the show but I'm curious and that has always been a question of mine.

The premise of regeneration (one Doctor turning into the next, when they switch actors) is that the Doctor's race, the Time Lords, regenerate into a new form instead of dying. It's pretty handy. :p

And yes, totally check out some of the old stuff. My favorites are in the Third & Fourth Doctors' eras, Jon Pertwee & Tom Baker. It's so campy and wonderful. :D
