Doctor Who

Created in 1963 to teach children about history, Doctor Who grew into a multi-decade phenomenon.

To date, Dr.Who is the longest-running science fiction television series of all-time with over 40 seasons including the classic Dr. Who and the new Dr. Who. The series follows the countless adventures of the Doctor, a near-immortal alien being who travels in a TARDIS, a time-and spacecraft that frequently takes the form of an old-fashioned British police box.  

Despite its originally low budget, the program is a sweeping space opera on an unbridled and imaginatively vast scale. Time and space are truly no impediment to either the Doctor or the show’s writers. Since the 2005 series reboot, the show has developed thoughtful, emotional stories that examine how the unfathomable strangeness of the universe can impact individual and often humble lives.

Three spin-off series have followed: Torchwood (2006), The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007), and Class (2016). In addition, there are Doctor Who stage plays, audio serials, novels, magazines, and video games.
