Actors and actresses who have played the titular character in Doctor Who united in a video celebrating real healthcare workers and caregivers on the frontlines. With no end in sight for the coronavirus pandemic, healthcare workers across the world have proven to be the true heroes that the world desperately needs. The Doctor may be a fictional time-traveling alien from the planet Gallifrey, but the character's two hearts have always been on humanity's side.
In a cool video courtesy of the BBC, Doctor Who actors past and present appear with an important message. Fans of the beloved BBC series will no doubt be delighted by seeing Classic Who favorites like the Fourth Doctor Tom Baker, Fifth Doctor Peter Davison, Sixth Doctor Colin Baker, and Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy. They're joined by fan favorites David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi (the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctor's respectfully) Rounding out the iconic group is the Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker and Jo Martin (who played alternate timeline Doctor Ruth.) The inspiring video celebrated real-life healthcare workers for a charity event. Check out the great video below.
One of the main messages of Doctor Who as Peter Capaldi mentions in the video is to never be cruel, or cowardly, never give up, and never give in. Although the entertainment world has been severely impacted by countless movie and television delays, actors and actresses from well-known franchises have done their part to give back to those in need. Although people across the world are getting restless while quarantining, this important Doctor Who charity video serves as a good reminder that we can't forget our healthcare workers who are still working round the clock to help the sick.
The main message of Doctor Who has always been about protecting the vulnerable and the innocent no matter what. Uniting the Doctors past and present was an inspiring way to motivate people not to forget: the coronavirus crisis is far from over, and healthcare workers still need all the help and appreciation they can get. After all, what the world needs now more than ever are doctors.
