10 Things About Doctor Who That Seem To Confuse Non-Fans

1. The Fans

BBC

This one ties in nicely with the previous point because the main thing that seems to confuse Doctor Who party poopers is the fact that its fans are so devoted to the cause. If there's one thing you can call a Doctor Who fan, it's loyal (although naysayers would probably be able to come up with a few other adjectives, too). They don't just watch the show, they live, dream and breathe it and for the people who really don't get what it's all about, that's a particularly difficult concept to grasp.

At this point, though, you're probably just point blank refusing not to like it because there's really no reason why you shouldn't. Passion is something that should be celebrated and Doctor Who fans certainly excel in that department. They talk about it because they love it, not because they're trying to annoy you - not usually anyway - and 70 million fans can't be wrong.

In a nutshell, it would just save everyone a lot of time if you just admitted defeat and came along for the ride. There's room for everyone in the TARDIS.
