The Doctor and the Doctor

The hero character is the product of a compromise in the writers room they went something like this it's let's see should our leading man be a cop or a scientist what if he was both. Chet Walker is some kind of science cop he is a cop but he heads up a forensic laboratory full of microscopes and glass slides and Geiger counters. This is kind of like the the 1950s version of CSI I guess you know where you have the forensic expert who's also just very very and perhaps unrealistically front and center of any investigation.
