 <!-- Optional; Objective, unbiased, detailed synopsis of film's plot and themes -->
 Loosely inspired by [[Nigel Kneale]]'s ''[[Quatermass (1953 franchise)]]'', ''Doctor Who'' follows the (generally kid-friendly) adventures of a rogue time-and-space-traveling alien and his (typically) human companions as they investigate and try to stop various alien invasions and other plots.  At its most "Lovecraftian", the series veers away from traditional black-and-white, good-vs-evil conflicts, and explores conflicts with very powerful and mysterious aliens with very complicated motives for their actions, often with technology that is virtually indistinguishable from black magic.

-The franchise itself is not particularly "Lovecraftian", being far more optimistic than Lovecraft's fiction or even of the Quatermass franchise.  Still, some of the Doctor Who fiction does explicitly cross over with Lovecraft's creations, and, given a bleaker spin, some of the monsters, plots, and other elements could prove useful in more Lovecraftian fiction.  At its most "Lovecraftian", the series veers away from traditional black-and-white, good-vs-evil conflicts, and explores conflicts with very powerful and mysterious aliens with very complicated motives for their actions, often with technology that is virtually indistinguishable from black magic.
