List Of Doctor Who Episodes (1963–1989)
''Doctor Who'' ceased production in 1989. A one-off TV movie was produced in the US in 1996, before the series resumed in 2005. The original series (1963–1989), generally consists of multi-episode serials; in the early seasons, and occasionally through its run, serials tend to link together, one story leading directly into the next. The 2005 revival trades the earlier serial format for a run of self-contained episodes, interspersed with occasional multi-part stories and structured into loose story arcs. For the first two seasons of ''Doctor Who'' and most of the third (1963–1966), each episode carries its own title; the show displays no titles for overarching serials until '' The Savages'', at which point the episodic titles cease. The titles below, for these early serials, are those in most common circulation, used for commercial releases and in resources such as the ''Doctor Who'' Reference Guide and the BBC's classic episode guide. With the show's revival in 2005, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
