    Doctor Who is, or was, the longest-running science-fiction series in the history of television. Created by the BBC in 1963 as a children's sci-fi series, Doctor Who eventually expanded its boundaries to just about every possible genre of television except for the musical. Spanning 26 seasons, the original BBC series had seven different actors taking on the lead role. Doctor Who was famous for its infinite flexibility and wide, dedicated, fan following. The show celebrated its 30th anniversary on November the 23rd, 1993.

    The 158th and final BBC produced Doctor Who story, "Survival", aired in December of 1989. No further episodes have been produced by the BBC over the past six years, even though the show was never officially cancelled. In spite of this, Doctor Who lives on today, on the radio and in a popular series of full-length novels.

    In 1996, a television movie, made by Universal and the BBC continued the story line. It was hoped that this would lead to another series of shows, but the fate of Doctor Who is still undecided at this time.
