After 26 seasons, the BBC decided to cancel the series in 1989 but it began again in 2005 with a diffusion in many countries among which France and Canada. The series counts 813 episodes and is still in the course of production.
Doctor Who series very quickly became an institution in the United Kingdom. But most people and newspapers complained because of alarming and violent elements in it. However the program continued to become increasingly popular, especially amay children.
The series is so popular, that video games, cards, magazines and figurines have come out fit. The series known such a great success that it was to adapted a novel. [pic 4]
Later, costumes and accessories from the series were marketed in Great Britain but also in France.
I think that this popularity is justified because it is something which is out of the ordinary. What I like in this series are the scenario and the productions, some episode are about well-known figures like Agatha Christie (a British novelist) or Vincent Van Gogh a painter. This series remains, the longest series ever made and when will it stop?
