I've played the Dr. Who boardgame.  It's been a while, but
the basic object of the game is to collect the 7 segments
of the Key to Time.  If you're lucky, you'll pick up a
companion and a K-9 of your very own along the way.
I beleive the publishers included a note on the package
to the effect of "Ages 6 to Adult" or some such;
nonetheless it does make for a pleasant diversion,
provided your companions are true Dr. Who fans and
don't insist that seeing the TARDIS spinning through space
is the result of poor writing.
(Personally, I rather enjoy the inventiveness of
the folks in BBC special effects when they're working
on small budgets and tight schedules.  Where is your
imagination, anyhow, folks?)

The one problem with the board game is that the
U.S. price is a bit high for what it is.
But go ahead, try it.
