Doctor Who Cheat Sheet Perfect for Who Newbies
February 10th, 2011
Whenever a friend or your significant other wonders why you keep watching 30-year old Doctor Who episodes, with what seems to be terrible special effects, then you can forward him/her this image that was created by Bob Canada. It’s a Doctor Who cheat sheet.
The Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker’s signature scarf was over 18-feet long! Now that is a long scarf! There a lot of other fun facts on this pleasing infographic, all rendered with style. It’s best viewed in its full-size version over here.
My favorite Doctors are Tom Baker and David Tennant. It’s too bad that David Tennant chose to leave the series, but he had lasted five years. The new Doctor, Matt Smith, is actually pretty good though.

“For your girlfriend” – seriously??? Because women are completely unlikely to ever watch Doctor Who? Try living in the 21st Century; it’s fun here.
Okay, probably not the best article title ever.
I’m a chick & I’ve been watching The Doctor since I was 4. I know more chicks that watch Doctor Who than men.
I have a few friends that this would work for but most of them are guys.
fuck you. women watch the show too asshole.
@Alice only because you do not like watch Dr. Who does not mean, no other girls likes to watch. Taste differs…
Actually I know a lot of girls, who like to watch Doctor Who.
??? Did you miss the part where I was COMPLAINING about the implication that women don’t watch Doctor Who? I’ve been watching and loving Doctor Who since I was 10.
Yes I missed it. I was in a hurry, when reading the comments and tired at that time. My fault.
Well that’s a sexist title, and that ‘cheatsheet’ is wrong: the second Doctor played a recorder, not a flute. Although the Brigadier did refer to it as a flute, in anger and incorrectly, in The Three Doctors.
And, yes, I’m a girl. I also play video games. Try not to faint with shock.
Or, you know, for my BOYFRIEND, who is very sweet and fantastic in bed but doesn’t “get” sci-fi.
The only person in my social circle for whom this title works is my lesbian friend.
Due to popular demand, I’ve changed the article title. No offense was intended, but I see how you guys might take it that way.
Good save.
You might want to look up “Mansplaining” to avoid possible future errors, and help understand the strong reaction.
Also, “I see how you guys might take it that way” fails as an apology. It comes across as “I don’t see I did anything wrong but I’m prepared to appease you”.
“I did a dumb thing. Sorry it caused offence. I’ve fixed it now” would have been perfect.
Well said!
It was a stupid headline that wasn’t meant to offend anyone, and I’ve since changed it to be less obnoxious. I hope we can put this behind us and move on.
Hi everyone,
I just had a quick question – on the sheet it says under the box about his age that the eleventh doctor said he can regenerate over 500 hundred times? I don’t recall him saying it in the series – does anyone know where this is from?
He said it in his guest-appearance in “Sarah Jane Adventures.” Word of God indicates he might have been exaggerating just a bit.
no worries, thank you!
Just to elaborate further, naturally any time lord can only regenerate 12 times, however the Master did find a way around this at one point.
Yo guys, I didn’t mean to offend all of the women watching Doctor Who, that’s why in the article itself, I use him/her and significant other. The title was meant to grab your attention, which it did, but not in the way I wanted.
Awesome…I just started watching Doctor Who (with Eccleston) a few weeks ago. Will graduate to Tennant soon.
Also… Two didn’t play a flute, it was a recorder.
Oops! Sorry… I see Unity Chase caught that first.
Whats the fifth doing with a screwdriver, it appeared once, during a scene made to explain why he never used it
