Doctor Who is surely one of the most original television programmes ever to be made.
From the concept of the TARDIS being bigger on the inside than out, with the ability to go anywhere in time and space, to the concept that the main hero, the Doctor, is not the average science fiction pin-up, using his wits instead of a gun or other weapon. Some of these ideas were born out of real world considerations, such as the exterior of the TARDIS being stuck in the form of 1960s Metropolitan Police Box, which was brought about so the production team could use one prop instead of having to find a new one each adventure to blend in with its surroundings.
One such idea was the idea that the Doctor could ‘renew’ his body when it became old and frail or was otherwise mortally injured, was thought up when the first actor to play the Doctor, William Hartnell, became too ill to carry on and was also becoming quite hard to work with at times, something that is played out in detail in the 2013 special, An Adventure in Space and Time.
So at the conclusion of the second adventure in Doctor Who‘s fourth season, The Tenth Planet, the Doctor announced that he was ‘wearing a bit thin’ and regenerated into character actor, Patrick Troughton.
