This is the 5th Dr. Who, played by Peter Davison. Dr. Who, as everybody knows, is a Time-Lord, which means among other things that he can regenerate a total of 12 times before he dies. This is very handy if you want to keep your TV show running for decades and decades.
The show went on hiatus in the late 80s, after the reign of the 7th doctor. There was a movie featuring the 8th, and a couple of years ago the BBC finally revived it. Now we're on the 10th doctor, played by David Tennant, who manages to be both attractive and manic.
And the big blue box is, of course, his time machine.
Don't forget that he has two hearts for no particular reason. That's very important.
One of the things that I like about the 5th Doctor is the look he'd get when he failed, such as when Adric died. Normally he'd act like a classic maniacal genius-type Doctor, but he was just little more fallable, more prone to Pyrrhic victories. When he failed, he would look very sad and also very puzzled, sort of a "what did I do wrong?" look. It gave him a sweetness that set him apart from the other Doctors. I loved that.
