1. Dr Who

A staple of Doctor Who is the huge number of different Doctors that weve seen throughout the programmes fifty year history. Sometimes theyre clones, sometimes theyre alternate versions of him, and very rarely theyre Victorian maths teachers who think theyre the Doctor. And with the introduction of John Hurt as the newest Doctor, as part five of my monthly countdown to Doctor Whos fiftieth anniversary, we take a look back at the alternate Doctors...Peter CushingThe non-canon films Dr Who And The Daleks and Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 AD in the 1960s This is definitely the Doctor that is most removed from the character as we know him. Rather than being a Time Lord from Gallifrey who chooses to be called the Doctor, hes a human scientist named Dr Who who invented a time machine called Tardis. Despite these massive changes to the characters backstory, Dr Who still bears some similarities to William Hartnells Doctor and a terrific performance by Hammer Horror star Peter Cushing still makes watching this Doctor great fun so long as you dont take it too seriously and can accept the liberties that have taken with the character.
