Who is Doctor or Doctor Who?

Here, Doctor is a Time Lord who fled planet Gallifrey (a fictional planet full of time lords) in a stolen spaceship known as TARDIS (“Time and Relative Dimension in Space”). This spaceship cum time machine can travel by materializing into and dematerializing out of, the time vortex.

Well, this time machine looks like a blue telephone booth but its interior is too vast (like a spaceship) with all the facilities that a time lord may need. On Earth, nobody knows Doctor’s real name and everyone calls him Doctor. But when someone hears that there’s a doctor or something, their first reaction is Doctor Who? So, Doctor Who is nothing but a nickname that the Doctor gets, accidentally.

Now, who are Time Lords? So, Time Lords are one of the species of Alien on Planet Gallifrey who solved the mystery of Time Travel and are hence called Time Lords. They own a special ability that is – they can regenerate their body before they die. When a doctor becomes old, he can start the complicated regeneration process and can become a young adult with a completely different personality. This process is followed for years to run the show.
