Why use Encyclo?
Encyclo brings you straight to the definition you are looking for and uses many diverse sources in order that you can find the definition you require in context. We do not use popups, slidethrough or any other of those annoying adverts. With encyclo you can search for the meaning of an individual word or look through the sources for more definitions and categories which may contain your word. Encyclo also strives to bring you words in the British English criteria and not the American spellings and definitions. However due to a lack of complete definition lists in some areas we have included some US lists to increase your search capabilities.

23 November 2008

This day in history:
At sixteen minutes past five on 23rd November 1963, a British television institution was born. Doctor Who would go on to become the longest-running science-fiction programme in the world, eventually spawning twenty six seasons of adventures from 1963 to 1989. In total, eight actors have played the part of Gallifrey's most famous Time Lord. From the very first - William Hartnell in 1963 - to the very last - Paul McGann, in the 1996 TV Movie - the Doctor has wandered through time and space in his trusty time machine, an old type-40 TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space). Although appearing to be nothing more than a battered blue police box, it is in fact vastly bigger on the inside than on the outside, and always departs with its familiar wheezing, groaning sound. read more
