The Doctor is, without a doubt, one of the most complex characters on television. He is both comic and tragic, a king and a fool. It’s worth us, then, having a quick think about the many faces of this most unique of men.

The Traveller

“I’m not a human being. I walk in eternity” – The Fourth Doctor (Pyramids Of Mars)

The Doctor is like a gap year student who never quite stopped travelling. Even the third Doctor, who was exiled to Earth, jumped at the occasional chance to escape the confines of this one little planet in only one part of time. In The Five Doctors, the Fifth Doctor was given the opportunity to become the president of the Time Lords. Even this was not enough to stop the Doctor travelling.
