You definitely have to give it a few episodes before you give up. Trust me, David Tennant makes up for Christopher Eccleston!
Doctor Who is about a 900 year-old alien (called the Doctor) flying through time and space in his time machine, the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space). Usually his favorite stop is Planet Earth, where he runs into some exceptional human (more often that not, a young woman who falls desperately in love with him and who has a terribly boring life) and asks that human to become his traveling companion.
They then fly throughout the universe, back and forth, 'tween the past and future, landing in all sorts of trouble. The monsters they run into range from corny, to weird, to down-right pee-in-your-pants-scary!
The Doctor, a Time Lord from the destroyed planet of Gallifrey, has two hearts and a kooky sense of humor, which will always brings a huge grin to my face. To keep the series going throughout the years, the creators wrote that the Doctor regenerates his body everytime he comes close to death.
There have been eleven Doctors in all, each one different and strange.
For the record, I'm a loyal Tennant-lover, the last Doctor before Matt Smith. How can you resist his crazy grin and marvelous hair?? But more than that, his version of the Doctor was marvelous.
The companions are generally pretty and young, with a few exceptions in the form of Mickey, Captain Jack Harkness and Rory Williams.
Give it a chance, and I promise you'll love Rory.
Or maybe you'll fall for one of the companions!
Either way, you'll fall for the Doctor.
I know I have. :)
