About List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present) in brief
As of 1 January 2021, 862 episodes of Doctor Who have aired, concluding the twelfth series. This includes one television movie and multiple specials, and encompasses 296 stories over 38 seasons. Four charity specials and two animated serials have also been aired. The programme’s high episode count has resulted in Doctor Who holding the world record for the highest number of episodes of a science-fiction programme. In May 2017, it was announced that BBC Worldwide sold the right of refusal on future series of the programme until and including Series 15 in China. Doctor Who ceased production in 1989, then resumed in 2005.
The original series generally consists of multi-episode serials. 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. The numbering scheme in this list reflects an internal practice of describing \”Planet of the Dead\” as the 200th story. Other sources, like the Region 1 classic Doctor Who DVD releases, use different numbering schemes, which diverge after the 108th story, The Horns of Nimon.
