Doctor Who is one of television's most enduring and ubiquitously
popular series. This study contends that the success of the show
lies in its ability, over more than half a century, to develop its
core concepts and perspectives: alienation, scientific rationalism
and moral idealism. The most extraordinary aspect of this eccentric
series rests in its capacity to regenerate its central character
and, with him, the generic, dramatic and emotional parameters of
the programme. Out of Time explores the ways in which the series'
immortal alien addresses the nature of human mortality in his
ambiguous relationships with time and death. It asks how the status
of this protagonist - that lonely god, uncanny trickster,
cyber-sceptic and techno-nerd - might call into question the
beguiling fantasies of immortality, apotheosis and utopia which his
nemeses tend to pursue. Finally, it investigates how this paragon
of transgenerational television reflects the ways in which
contemporary culture addresses the traumas of change, loss and
death.
