I am a new fan of Dr. Who and I was wondering if someone could
answer a few questions:
1- Who is the Doctor? I know that he isn't human, and that he is
really old, but that's about it.
2- Who is the Master, and what is his relation to the Doctor?
3- What is the relation between the Time Lords and the Doctor?
KCET Los Angelas is currently showing John Pertwee episodes, so I
imagine it will be a long time before they wrap around and show
the first Dr. Who.
Also, does anyone have a list of the episodes, and possibly a
summary or a rating for each one? (How many episodes are there?)
Thanks in advance.

He stole the TARDIS while it was being fixed (it's stuck looking like a police-box). > > 2- Who is the Master, and what is his relation to the Doctor? > The Master is also a timelord, but basically evil. He would like nothing better than to wipe the universe free of the Doctor, but they both have great respect for each other. > 3- What is the relation between the Time Lords and the Doctor? > The timelords let the Doctor roam about the universe & time because he is basically good. From time to time (no pun intended) they send him on specific missions, though he does not like working for them. The fifth doctor is given the position of President of Gallifrey, but he escapes in the TARDIS (The Five Doctors), as he does not want it. >KCET Los Angelas is currently showing John Pertwee episodes, so I >imagine it will be a long time before they wrap around and show >the first Dr. Who. A lot of the early episodes are gone, (reused the video tape I presume) so you will probably never see all of them. >Also, does anyone have a list of the episodes, and possibly a >summary or a rating for each one?

Here in Cleveland our public station has started from the beginning and is showing all the way through Colin Baker. What they do after that, they will decide then.
