Doctor Who

myth:doctor_who

Doctor Who is the renewing wanderer: a time-travelling alien who wins by wit and not by weapons, a trickster-sage in a blue box that is larger within than without, and who, when he dies, is reborn with a new face — a death-and-rebirth built into the story so that it need never end. A tireless tourist of history and letters, forever meeting Shakespeare, Dickens, and Agatha Christie. — contemporary culture
