The mythology of Doctor Who has built into it the continuation, evolution, and longevity of the character__ mythical qualities through his regenerative process. I have to agree with Lou Anders, when he states: __octor Who is the truest expression of Joseph Campbell__ Hero with a Thousand Faces ever conceived. The idea of an alien, come down to earth, repeatedly dying and resurrecting for the salvation of others is as close to the perpetual reenactment of the eternal Hero__ Journey as you can hope to find._(6)
