Three years into the original run of “Doctor Who,” William Hartnell, the first actor to portray the Doctor, was in declining health leading to difficulties in the show’s production. It’s like a whole other country over there. Not that it makes much of a difference if you’re watching the DVDs, but knowing random trivia about British television makes you cool.
TOLERATE A WORLD OF DEMONS FOR THE SAKE OF AN ANGEL SERIES
So after the first series ended in June of 2005, the show picked up again with “The Christmas Invasion” on Christmas Day 2005, but was not seen again until April of 2006. Also, “Doctor Who” has made a curious habit over the years of running an extra long episode on Christmas Day several months removed from the surrounding series. Ten percent of the episode is an awful lot to get cut, and at times critical scenes are simply dropped (for example, in the finale, a character is about to be killed and is next seen safely elsewhere, the scene of her escape completely excised for time). The “Doctor Who” episodes broadcast in Britain have a runtime of about 45 minutes, whereas American cable generally has a runtime of about 3 to 4 minutes less than that. If you happened to watch the episodes on the SciFi channel, you might still want to catch the DVDs because European television can be as incompatible with America as those weird European electrical outlets.

Now, for the first time, an entire anthology of essays is dedicated to deconstructing this gallery of blackguards. If, as the Seventh Doctor once said, "You can always judge a man by the quality of his enemies,” the Doctor is great indeed, rescuing the universe time and again from some of the most formidable and terrifying villains in science fiction history. What a world of demons Doctor Who has presented us with over the past seven decades: from Daleks and Cybermen to Weeping Angels and the Silence, the greatest villains of the Who-niverse have achieved an iconic status all their own, cementing themselves in the minds of millions of viewers (why else would Parker Brothers have devised a version of Monopoly after them?). “One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel”-Jean-Antoninette (“Reinette”) Poisson, aka Madame de Pompadour, “The Girl in the Fireplace”
