Description
The long-running BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who (which celebrated its fiftieth anniversary last year) chronicles the cosmic, time-travelling adventures of an over one thousand-year-old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, but perhaps the program’s greatest achievement is its imaginative contributions to the ever-evolving nature of television narratology. Dr. Lavery will examine not only the role of time travel in Doctor Who but the program’s ingenious use of narrative time as well.
