"Within the fictional narrative, the Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels through time and space in a dimensionally transcendental – ""bigger on the inside"" – time machine: the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) which takes the exterior form of a 1963 police telephone call box, and retains the appearance throughout the programme. The Time Lords have dedicated themselves to overseeing all of time and space without interference.

The Doctor is a mysterious character and little is known about him except that he has a granddaughter, Susan Foreman, and that they come from another time and place. He has a ship that travels through time and space, the TARDIS, which is currently disguised as a police box (Susan notes that it used to be able to change to blend in with its surroundings), and is bigger on the inside.

"Dr. Who's ""Tardis"" (not """"the"" TARDIS"", as referred to in the television series) resembles a British police box, although the films, unlike the TV series, offer no explanation as to why the machine has this appearance. Other than using the contrivance of the craft's interior being larger than its exterior, the interior set bears no relation to the clean, high-tech TV version of the time. In the first film it is filled with a chaotic jumble of wiring and electronic equipment, replaced in the second film by a number of simple consoles adorned with buttons, gauges and lights.

"TARDIS retains the shape of a police box because of a fault that occurred in the first ""Doctor Who"" serial, ""An Unearthly Child"" (1963). The ability to alter its appearance was first mentioned in the second episode of the series, where the First Doctor and Susan noted the unit was malfunctioning. (""It's still a police box! Why hasn't it changed?"") It was first given a general term of a ""camouflage unit"" in ""The Time Meddler"" (1965).

"in 1963, no one could have predicted that the programme's popularity would ensure its survival for twenty-eight record-breaking years. In that first story we learnt only that the Doctor and his granddaughter Susan had left their home planet, under something of a cloud, in a remarkable time-travelling craft called the TARDIS that looked — at least on the outside — like a police telephone box. The Doctor and the TARDIS have remained the constant elements in a television saga that has seen many changes over the decades.

The initially irascible and slightly sinister Doctor quickly mellowed into a more compassionate figure and was eventually revealed to be a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, which the Doctor fled by stealing the TARDIS.
