When you sign on as the lead character of the seminal sci-fi series "Doctor Who," there are certain things that must happen. First, you need an instantly recognizable costume. Then, you'll have to pick out the right Sonic Screwdriver. It's recommended that you change the desktop on the Tardis as well, but it's not always necessary. You should also expect to mix it up with a number of classic monsters from across the long-running British show's extensive history like Daleks, Cybermen, and maybe even The Master. And, seeing as you would be a part of the New Who (or NuWho) era, you would have to find an excuse to wear the beloved orange spacesuit. Luckily, just under the wire before she took her final bow as the iconic Time Lord, Jodie Whitaker's Thirteenth Doctor donned the suit for the first and last time in "The Power of the Doctor" before regenerating.

Doctor Who, the quirky British sci-fi television series about a time travelling alien and his friends, premiered in 1963. Since then there have been twelve Doctors (and a War Doctor), each with their own unique looks to match their unique and often eccentric personalities. With the debut of the Twelfth Doctor fast approaching, this post takes a look back at the three Doctors we’ve seen so far (not including the War Doctor) on Doctor Who since it was rebooted in 2005 (or New Who, as some like to call it) and guesses at what we can expect from Doctor number twelve.

This month's Doctor Who Magazine reveals the secrets of casting the Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith. In the second part of a in-depth interview, showrunner Steven Moffat talks about how the new Tardis team were chosen; the controversial new costumes; the challenges in creating the new series of Doctor Who; and, after the auditions, why it was clear that Matt Smith had to play the title role.

More than good acting – they were all good actors – he just had the tone of it straight away, the fun of it, the nuttiness of it… the unselfconscious nuttiness of it. Because, let’s be honest, Matt is unselfconsciously nutty. That’s what he’s like.Also in the magazine, the Watcher returns and proudly presents his definitive guide to the greatest of all the Doctor’s many foes,...
