It has recently been suggested that the Doctor, the central character of the BBC’s Doctor Who, is in fact the most compelling Jewish character ever seen on British television. This talk will consider this statement through a consideration of the show’s history both off-screen and on. It will explore the (real and imagined) displays of Jewish identity seen across 50 years through a discussion of the Doctor’s changing appearance, his rivalry with the Master, and enmity towards the Daleks, the despotic pepperpots with a love of extermination who were modelled on the Nazis. As we will see, the Doctor is not averse to anti-Semitism and the Daleks themselves can be read in ways more controversial than the simplistic parallel provided by the Nazis.
