Dr. Who is a character based on the Doctor, the protagonist featuring in the long-running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.
The character, portrayed by Peter Cushing, appeared in two films produced by AARU Productions, Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966). Plans for a third film were abandoned following the poor box office reception for the second film.
Cushing made no mention of the films in his autobiography, although he kept a collection of newspaper clippings about them in a scrapbook.
