Half a century on the screen: interesting facts about the legendary series "Doctor Who"
The cult TV series "Doctor Who" has become a whole era not only for the British, but also for the entire world television.

On November 23, 1963, the first episode of the legendary Doctor Who series, a BBC telenovela about a mysterious time traveler, was shown in Britain.
"Doctor Who" became a record holder among the soap "centenarians": it survived 33 television seasons and one full length tape.

The main character of the series (an alien, but a human looking fighter for justice) has been saving the Earth from all misfortunes, including relatives, for five decades.
The shooting of the film is still in full swing.
АиФ.ги I collected interesting facts about the series, on which two generations of Britons have already grown up.
1. "Doctor Who" was twice included in the Guinness Book of Records: as the longest and as the most successful science fiction project (ratings of TV shows, the number of downloads from iTunes, world sales of the book and the film on DVD were taken into account).
As of May 18 of this year, 798 episodes were filmed.
2. The most high profile case of intrusion into the television broadcast is connected with" Doctor Who".
On November 22, 1987, during the broadcast of Doctor Who in Chicago, a strange man in the mask of Max Headrum (the hero of another popular TV series) appeared on the screen.
For a minute and a half, the stranger was talking some nonsense, and then he pulled down his trousers and an unknown woman whipped him with a fly swatter.
The extraneous TV signal was silenced, after which the interrupted show was resumed.
It is assumed that "Doctor Who" was chosen for the TV attack — precisely because of the high rating of the series.
3. The name of the main character is kept in the strictest secrecy.
He calls himself just a Doctor.
People who get acquainted with him ask in surprise: "Doctor Who?" – that's why the series got such a name.
Nevertheless, viewers throughout all seasons are hinted that the name of the hero should still be revealed.
4. According to the plot, Doctor Who belongs to the race of Time Lords and has 13 lives.
When a character has an accident or gets injured, the Doctor does not die, but regenerates.
Moreover, in each of his "reincarnation" he gets a new appearance and even new character traits.
Such an original legend allows the creators of the series to easily and painlessly change the actors for the main role: in December, the Twelfth Doctor will appear on the screens (he will be played by Peter Capaldi).

The series was threatened with closure several times (each time due to falling ratings), but still returned to the screen.
At the same time, the authors of "Doctor Who" initially treated the project with skepticism: they believed that it was too expensive to produce and would not be popular for a long time.
6. According to the original plan of the BBC, the film was supposed to be educational and intended for family viewing – even the Doctor's companions were then school teachers of history and natural science.
But the audience did not like the stories about science, space and history as much as the adventures of the Doctor and meetings with aliens.
Therefore, the plans were overplayed: the series became science fiction.
Although the main character is a model of high morality and nobility, constantly saving everyone, there are also "sins" behind him: he is wanted in all worlds for 14,000 cases of traffic violations, non payment of 250 library fines, the destruction of 18 planets and a number of other offenses.
In total, the Doctor faces two billion years in prison.
8. The TARDIS, the interplanetary ship on which the hero travels, looks like an old blue telephone booth for communicating with the police (such were often placed on the streets of British cities) – the authors of the film bought it from the London police.
For the 50th anniversary of the series, a two dollar coin with the image of the Doctor's ship was released in New Zealand, a rare booth was installed at London Heathrow Airport, and the inventor of aircraft from San Diego (USA) built his own version of the TARDIS.
She can even fly, although only through the air, and not through space and time.

9.
Some of the early episodes of Doctor Who were lost in the 1960s and 1970s.
The fact is that it was too expensive to store the old series: they could still be broadcast on TV only a limited number of times (this rule was introduced by the British actors ' union), so the films that had served their limit were thrown out.
Or they were erased – the film itself was very expensive.
Now 106 episodes are considered lost.
Some of them left separate frames, some of them sound tracks, but many are known exclusively from descriptions and cannot be restored.
Actor David Tennant, who played the role of the Tenth Doctor (more precisely, his "tenth regeneration"), has been a fan of the TV series since childhood and dreamed of playing there someday.
The actor auditioned for the role of the Ninth Doctor, but he was not approved, but with the next "reincarnation" Tennant was really lucky.
Not only that, after the star role, the actor became really famous, on the set he also met his future wife – Georgia Moffett (her heroine in the script was the daughter of a Doctor).
Moreover, his father – in law was Peter Davison the performer of the role of the Fifth Doctor, whose fan was Tennant once.
In the episode "Split in Time", the writers played this moment and "pushed" the father – in law with the son in law: Davison's character in the plot decided that Dr. Tennant was his fan.
