Doctor Who (1963)
The adventures of The Doctor, a time-traveling humanoid alien known as a Time Lord. He explores the universe in his TARDIS, a sentient time-traveling spaceship. Its exterior appears as a blue British police box, which was a common sight in Britain in 1963 when the series first aired. Along with a succession of companions, The Doctor faces a variety of foes while working to save civilizations, help ordinary people, and right many wrongs.

What critics compared Doctor Who to
That she is both now and apparently has always been the Beholder is a bit of timey-wimey gobbledygook worthy of that franchise featuring the time-traveling Doctor that Pelia once hung out with…
…it’s all terrible in the delightful way that often makes old school Doctor Who so entertaining…
Fans have spent years discussing the many similarities and overlaps between the sci-fi elder statesmen Star Trek and Doctor Who, and both franchises have delighted in slipping in references to the other at various points in their recent canon.
Another Doctor Who reference. That’ll do at this point, Pelia, that’ll do.
Pelia (Carol Kane) says she once witnessed from inside “a phone box,” a claim that opens up all sorts of questions about shared science fiction universes that would seem to demand more follow-up, though no one asks for it. (Doctor Who won’t be the episode’s last sci-fi reference, direct or otherwise.)
Now, some of these folks have intentionally gone back in time, but others, like Claire, have stumbled into this not quite Whovian endeavor.
I can see now the online arguments of whether it’s an Avengers, DBZ, Terminator or Doctor Who style of time travel.
…the detective solving murder mysteries isn’t a cool genius like Sherlock or a goofy alien like Doctor Who…
