built 446 days ago
By December 1966, William Hartnell's tenure as Doctor Who had finished, and the character had "regenerated" for the first time. Patrick Troughton was now the Doctor, and it was decided to remake the opening titles introducing an image of Troughton's face into the sequence. The new titles debuted with episode 1 of The Macra Terror, transmitted in March 1967. This same month, producer Innes Lloyd ordered a new version of the theme music to go with the new visuals, and Delia Derbyshire set about the task.

Many Doctor Who stories from the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton eras are missing or destroyed. Loose Cannon Productions has attempted to recreate these missing episodes through use of telesnaps and other means. The reconstructions (or recons) of these missing or lost Doctor Who episodes are the hard work of the Loose Cannon Production Team.

Not soon after, The Doctor encounters a young medical student named Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) who finds her hospital one day suddenly transported to the Moon. Offered the opportunity to travel time and space, she soon joins The Doctor on his journies which include helping William Shakespeare stop an alien invasion, destroy The Daleks plans from genetically altering humanity in 1930's Manhattan, rescuing a ship from falling into a star, and protecting The Doctor who makes himself a human school teacher in 1913 to hide out from an aggressive alien family. The return of Captain Jack throws the trio to the end of the universe where they witness the frightening return of The Doctor's nemesis - The Master. The unstable Time Lord has taken on a new form, one which has been manipulating events and members of Jones family for his own sinister purpose - to conquer the Earth and rebuild the Time Lord empire under his rule.

In addition, Peter Cushing played the Doctor (although the character was actually called "Doctor Who") in two film adaptations, Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966). In light of the death of Hartnell, Richard Hurndall played the part of the First Doctor in the 20th anniversary episode "The Five Doctors." Other actors have played the Doctor in stage plays, radio/audio dramas, charity television specials, and animated forms.
