Doctor Who (2005)
203+ episodes (2005-pres) 60m
The new Doctor Who has managed to bring the show into the modern world without ever losing its sense of historical identity. Now featuring mainly self-contained episodes, star Christopher Eccleston used up an entire regeneration when he quit after only one series, ably replaced by David Tennant. Quality revival well-received by the fans and looking set for a long stay.
