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

Doctor (Doctor Who)
The Doctor is the title character in the long-running BBC science fiction television programme '' Doctor Who''.

Recurring characters often play major roles in more than one episode, sometimes being the main focus.
