The Doctor
The Doctor is a 1000+ year old Time Lord. Time Lords are aliens who looks human (or as the 11th said, we look Time Lord), and have two hearts. They are from the planet Gallifrey, which is currently either missing or destroyed.* Time Lords are exactly what they call them selves, as they are the Lords of Time. They travel in vehicles called the TARDIS.** The TARDIS can travel anywhere in time and space, including other universes.
Anyways, more about the Doctor.
The Doctor is the Main Character of this series, and is currently on his 12th regeneration (As of Christmas 2013). He always travels with a companion, whether it be Alien, Human, or Machine. I will write more about them later.
The Doctor is believed to be the last of his kind. In many episodes, this had made him regretful, and sad. He is called the Doctor because, in many languages, Doctor means "helper", or "healer", and that is exactly what he wants to do. He wants to help the different planets and galaxies, and make sure they are protected from their enemies, since he failed at doing this for his own planet. Again, I will write more about the baddies later.
*I'm trying not to write any spoilers to those who haven't seen the series, but it's hard!
**TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space.

The Companions
The Doctor's companions are people or things that help the Doctor with the missions he goes on, or just provide moral support. It can turn out bad if the Doctor does not have someone else in his life. Companions can be human, alien, or robot.
