The debut of Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor truly begins a brand-new era for the 60-year-old Doctor Who universe. However, for fans just discovering the Time Lord and his TARDIS, catching up on that history is difficult. Every previous Doctor Who story is on some other streaming service. The saga of the modern Doctors will stream on Max until, at least, 2025. For fans who don’t want to spring for another streamer subscription or simply don’t want to invest all that time, here’s a guide to the modern-day Doctors and how their journeys and struggles shaped the Fifteenth Doctor into who he is.The inaugural Doctor in the modern era was Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor, in a series produced by Russell T Davies. He met Rose Tyler, taking her in the TARDIS through time and space. This Doctor was fresh out of the Time War, a battle across time and space between the Time Lords of Gallifrey and the Daleks. This version of the Doctor masked the trauma of the battle with cheeky (but sometimes harsh) critiques of the people he met. Without getting too deeply into the details, audiences learn he made a choice that annihilated all the Daleks and the Time Lords, too. The Ninth Doctor tried to reclaim his identity before the war, the silly traveler righting wrongs across the cosmos. Yet, he couldn’t. In his final story, Rose Tyler stared into the heart of the TARDIS becoming an entity called “Bad Wolf.” This would have killed Rose, so the Doctor “absorbed” this energy, effectively killing him and triggering his regeneration.When Rose and her family were stranded in an alternate universe, he traveled with Martha Jones and, later, Donna Noble. Donna was perhaps his most important companion because, without her, the Tenth Doctor would have died fighting the Empress of the Racnoss in a tunnel under the Thames River. Donna absorbed “the mind of a Time Lord” accidentally, becoming as smart and effective as the Doctor. During his first adventure, he lost a hand, but his regeneration was still going so he grew a second.
