Doctor Who is now in its eleventh incarnation with Matt Smith now playing the pragmatic Doctor. Dr Who (produced by the BBC) is the longest-running science fiction television show in the world and also the "most successful" science fiction series of all time.
The Doctor travels through time in an old blue police box called the TARDIS (an acronym for Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space), which normally appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s British police box.
The Doctor, in his eleventh incarnation, is an excited explorer of the universe, with a keen intelligence that means he often notices what everyone else has missed. He travels with Amy Pond, the young Scottish woman from the England. She first met her 'raggedy Doctor' when she was a little girl and had to wait fourteen years before he finally returned and took her off in the TARDIS.
The Tardis had the interior of its control room destroyed when the Doctor regenerated, it reconfigured its appearance and now features a clicking date display, a new central time rotor and typewriters and taps for controls, which suits the Eleventh Doctor's style. It's even given him a port for his Sonic Screwdriver.
The Doctor does not have many friends... In fact there are many, many, many times more people/races/things out to kill him than befriend him. Monsters are popular with audiences and so became a staple of Doctor Who almost from the beginning. Over the series' initial 26-year run, notable adversaries include the Autons, the Sontarans, the Cybermen the Silurians and Sea Devils, the Ice Warriors, the Yeti, the Rani, and Davros, creator of the Daleks.
