The series depicts the adventures of a Time Lord called the Doctor, an extraterrestrial being who appears to be human.

Nev The Bear
Nev the Bear is a small, blue puppet bear that originally appeared in the CBBC television programme ''Smile''. Since 2007, Nev has starred in his own CBBC show '' Bear Behaving Badly'', alongside Barney Harwood. His name was created from the name of his co-star Dev Griffin on ''Smile''. He was last seen on Hacker Time when Derek puts Nev on Line 1 for Barney Harwood. Nev has patches in places on his body and is missing part of his ear. This is due to Bandit the cat, who is seen in some episodes of ''Bear Behaving Badly'', biting it off. Nev likes ice cream, jam, and ducks (his favourite toy duck being Snuggly Ducky Duck Duck). When scared or intimidated, he growls, just like a real bear would. Originally on ''Smile'', the voice of Nev was prerecorded with his limited vocabulary being played in as appropriate.
