Doctor Who is the BBC's long-running British science-fiction series, first broadcast in 1963 and revived in 2005, following the time-travelling Doctor through space and time. Its theme music and TARDIS sound are among the most recognisable audio signatures on television, and short clips circulate widely on meme soundboards, where they sit alongside other iconic television stingers used for dramatic reveals and geeky punchlines. With over sixty years across classic and modern eras, the show's sounds feel familiar even to viewers who only know it from memes.
