13 Doctor Who quotes to inspire you
Doctor Who is not only one of the longest-running science fiction shows on television, it is also a programme that is filled with drama, comedy, fun and inspiration. The famous adventures in space and time take the Time Lord across the universe with his companions as he tries to right wrongs and battles against alien forces and monsters who seem to always wish him harm.

This is why Doctor Who has one of the biggest and most dedicated fanbases of any television show in the world, one that continues to grow as showrunners and lead actors to come and go, and the show evolves through space and time.
