## What is Doctor Who?

Doctor Who is a British multi-media franchise, originally started as a still-airing (although it has had several hiatuses) TV show in 1963. The main part of the Doctor Who universe, often shortened to Whoniverse, is the TV show, although that doesn't mean that the movies, audios, books and comics are any less valid.

Another important fact about the Whoniverse is that, as it exists across multiple mediums and has been around for almost 60 years, is that the canon (events and facts stated in officially licensed media) is very contradictory. No explanation for anything, unless it has been officially decanonised, is less canon than any other explanation, and we ask editors to not remove any information to stick with what they accept as their personal canon, the latest explanation, or the oldest explanation.

To complicate things further, series' like Doctor Who Unbound are stated to be set in other, alternate universes, and some alternative universes have been visited as part of a series mainly set in the main Whoniverse (DW: Inferno, et al). However, as this isn't part of the main universe, please list these separately.

Finally, Doctor Who has had a lot of parodies throughout its history. Though these don't take place in the Whoniverse, they are still important to document.

### Dubiously licensed

Sometimes, a company may make some Doctor Who stories without obtaining a license for the show, or they'll obtain a license for some characters and concepts, but not the Doctor. Some of these productions will work around this by having a character who is clearly a pre-existing character, with a different name.

* *The Stranger* (1991-1995)
* *The AirZone Solution* (1993)
* *Audio Adventures in Time and Space* (1998-2004)
* *Cyberon* (2000)
* *Doctor Who Audiovisuals* (1985-1991)

These aren't, and never were meant to be, part of the Whoniverse, or an alternative universe. These are often produced just for fun.

* *Doctor Eyes* 1970's parody of the fourth Doctor
* *Dr. Poo* (1979-1981) radio show parody of the show
* *Lenny Henry Show Doctor Who Parody* 1986 parody
* *ABC Doctor Who* 1993 parody made by Australian network ABC.
