The programme is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world, and as the "most successful" science fiction series of all time, in terms of its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, iTunes traffic, and "illegal downloads". It has been recognised for its imaginative stories, creative low-budget special effects during its original run, and pioneering use of electronic music (originally produced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop). The show is a significant part of British popular culture[3][4] in the United Kingdom, and elsewhere it has become a cult television favourite. The show has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series. It has received recognition from critics and the public as one of the finest British television programmes, including the BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series in 2006, and five consecutive wins at the National Television Awards from 2005 to 2010, in the Drama category while under Russell T Davies' reign as executive producer. In 2011 Matt Smith became the first actor to be nominated for a BAFTA for portraying the Doctor, but lost to Daniel Rigby.

The programme originally ran from 1963 to 1989. After an unsuccessful attempt to revive regular production with a backdoor pilot in the form of a 1996 television film, the programme was relaunched in 2005, produced in-house by BBC Wales in Cardiff. The first series was produced by the BBC; series two and three had some development money contributed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which was credited as a co-producer. Doctor Who also spawned spin-offs in multiple media, including The Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood, K-9, and a single 1981 pilot episode of K-9 and Company.

The Doctor has been principally played by eleven actors. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the show as regeneration, whereby the character of the Doctor takes on a new body and, to some extent, new personality. Although each portrayal is different, and on occasion the various incarnations have even met one another, they are all meant to be aspects of the same character. The Doctor is currently portrayed by Matt Smith, who took up the role after David Tennant's final appearance in an episode broadcast on 1 January 2010.

A fifth series of the relaunched programme began on 3 April 2010, in which the Eleventh Doctor is accompanied by Amy Pond, portrayed by Karen Gillan, who was joined later in the series by fiancé (later husband) Rory Williams, played by Arthur Darvill. The show's sixth series, began on 23 April 2011, with Darvill now appearing as a regular Doctor Who companion with Gillan. The series ran for seven episodes before a three month hiatus, returning on 27 August for the remaining six.

Doctor Who originally ran for 26 series on BBC One, from 23 November 1963 until 6 December 1989. During the original run, each weekly episode formed part of a story (or "serial") — usually of four to six parts in earlier years and three to four in later years. Notable exceptions were the epic The Daleks' Master Plan, which aired in 12 episodes (plus an earlier one-episode teaser, "Mission to the Unknown", featuring none of the regular cast), almost an entire series of 7-episode serials (series 7), the 10-episode serial The War Games, and The Trial of a Time Lord, which ran for 14 episodes (albeit divided into three production codes and four narrative segments) during Series 23. Occasionally serials were loosely connected by a storyline, such as Series 8 being devoted to the Doctor battling a rogue Time Lord called The Master, Series 16's quest for The Key to Time, Series 18's journey through E-Space and the theme of entropy, and Series 20's Black Guardian Trilogy.

The programme was intended to be educational and for family viewing on the early Saturday evening schedule.[citation needed] Initially, it alternated stories set in the past, which taught younger audience members about history, with stories set either in the future or in outer space to teach them about science.[citation needed] This was also reflected in the Doctor's original companions, one of whom was a science teacher and another a history teacher.

However, science fiction stories came to dominate the programme and the "historicals", which were not popular with the production team,were dropped after The Highlanders (1967). While the show continued to use historical settings, they were generally used as a backdrop for science fiction tales, with one exception: Black Orchid set in 1920s England.

The early stories were serial-like in nature, with the narrative of one story flowing into the next, and each episode having its own title, although produced as distinct stories with their own production codes. Following The Gunfighters (1966), however, each serial was given its own title, with the individual parts simply being assigned episode numbers. What to name these earlier stories is often a subject of fan debate.

Of the programme's many writers, Robert Holmes was the most prolific, while Douglas Adams became probably the most well-known outside Doctor Who itself.

The serial format changed for the 2005 revival, with each series usually consisting of 13 45-minute, self-contained episodes (60 minutes with adverts, on overseas commercial channels), and an extended episode broadcast on Christmas Day. Each series includes several standalone and multi-part stories, linked with a loose story arc that resolves in the series finale. As in the early "classic" era, each episode, whether standalone or part of a larger story, has its own title. Occasionally, regular-season episodes will exceed the 45-minute run time; examples have included the episodes "Journey's End" from 2008 and "The Eleventh Hour" from 2010, both of which exceeded an hour in length.

777 Doctor Who instalments have been televised since 1963, ranging between 25-minute episodes (the most common format), 45-minute episodes (for Resurrection of the Daleks in the 1984 series, a single season in 1985, and the revival), two feature-length productions (1983's "The Five Doctors" and the 1996 television film), five 60-minute Christmas specials, and four specials ranging from 60 to 75 minutes in 2007 and 2009. Two mini-episodes, running about eight minutes each, were also produced for the 2005 and 2007 Children in Need charity appeals, while another mini episode was produced in 2008 for a Doctor Who-themed edition of The Proms. A two-part mini-episode was also produced for the 2011 edition of Comic Relief.

Doctor Who è una serie televisiva britannica di fantascienza prodotta dalla BBC a partire dal 1963.

La serie, con i suoi 27 anni di programmazione (continuativa dal 1963 al 1989 e ripresa nel 2005) e più di 700 episodi (realizzati a colori solo a partire dal 1970) detiene tuttora il record di serie televisiva di fantascienza più longeva.
Doctor Who fece la sua prima comparsa sullo schermo il 23 novembre 1963 alle 17:15[ sulla BBC, dopo un anno di discussioni e progetti. Il direttore degli sceneggiati Sydney Newman era il principale responsabile dello sviluppo della serie, assieme al Capo sceneggiatore Donald Wilson e a C. E. Webber. Lo sceneggiatore Anthony Coburn, il redattore David Whitaker ed il produttore Verity Lambert ebbero anch'essi molta importanza nello sviluppo della serie.

Il tema musicale dei titoli fu composto da Ron Grainer e realizzato da Delia Derbyshire della BBC Radiophonic Workshop; è una delle sigle musicali più ricordate, tanto da finire come estratto nella celeberrima canzone dei Pink Floyd One of These Days.

Il programma originale era stato creato per un pubblico di famiglie e sarebbe stato prodotto per ventisei anni, con una stagione all'anno, tutte trasmesse sulla BBC. Il calo di ascolti, una diminuzione d'interesse da parte del pubblico e una produzione meno incisiva delle storie portarono nel 1989 alla sospensione della serie da parte di Jonathan Powell, controller di BBC One.

Mentre la produzione in Inghilterra era cessata, la BBC confidava di trovare una compagnia di produzione indipendente per rilanciare lo show. Philip Segal venne contattato dalla BBC e le trattative portarono alla realizzazione di un film per la televisione in coproduzione fra la FOX, l'Universal Pictures, la BBC e BBC Worldwide. Nel 1996 venne quindi prodotto quello che doveva essere l'episodio pilota per una miniserie con un nuovo Dottore, l'Ottavo, Paul McGann, per il mercato statunitense. Nonostante il successo nel Regno Unito (con oltre 9 milioni di spettatori), l'accoglienza negli Stati Uniti fu invece più tiepida, e questo impedì la realizzazione di una nuova serie.[senza fonte]

Una volta cessata la serie televisiva, la produzione di romanzi e racconti registrati, inizialmente su cassette e successivamente su CD, portò avanti le storie del Dottore e dei suoi compagni, sebbene la canonicità di queste produzioni sia ardentemente discussa dagli appassionati.
Il programma televisivo rimase abbandonato fino al 2003: nel settembre di quell'anno la BBC annunciò la produzione interna di una nuova serie dopo parecchi anni di tentativi infruttuosi della BBC Worldwide di rendere effettiva l'idea di un film. Padre della nuova versione della serie è il produttore e sceneggiatore Russell T. Davies assieme a Julie Gardner, supervisore della valutazione delle serie TV di BBC Wales.
La prima stagione della nuova serie ha debuttato con l'episodio Rose sulla BBC il 26 marzo 2005 ed è stata seguita da altre cinque stagioni (la sesta va in onda dal 23 aprile 2011) e tredici episodi extra tra speciali natalizi e miniepisodi.
Nel 2010 Steven Moffat ha sostituito Davies come produttore esecutivo e direttore della sceneggiature.
