I'm trying to get a box set of the Tom Baker years. How can I single them out?

You have to buy each "story" separately. For example, "The Keeper of Traken": Parts 1 - 4.

Question

Since Doctor Who isn't on Netflix or Hulu anymore, what other ways can we watch it than through Amazon Prime?

Community Answer

You could buy the DVDs, or you can look for file sharing sites, but these are often illegal and often put your devices at risk for viruses.

Question

Why is he called "Doctor" Who?

Top Answerer

The Doctor gave himself that title so that he could help others. In reality it was probably a way to make him seem like a mysterious traveler to get people hooked on the show.

Question

How many versions of Doctor Who are there?

StrangelyQuiet

Top Answerer

Doctor Who can be classified into three main eras. Classic Doctor Who ran from 1963 to 1989. This contains adventures from the first Doctor to the seventh Doctor. NuWho ran from 2005 to 2022 and contains adventures from the ninth Doctor to the thirteenth Doctor. (The 8th doctor appears in a movie, and then a revival started with the ninth Doctor.) The most recent era is the Whoniverse, which focuses on the fourteenth doctor and beyond.
