Doctor Who in Canada and the United States
"Doctor Who" in Canada and the United States refers to the broadcast history of the long-running British science fiction television series "Doctor Who" in those countries. "Doctor Who" had an early Canadian connection. The series was conceived by Canadian expatriate Sydney Newman while he was the BBC's Head of Drama.

The segment featured a character surprisingly similar to the Doctor, a puppet called Mr. X who traveled through time and space in his "Whatsis Box" teaching children about history.
