HISTORY OF DOCTOR WHO
Doctor Who: A New Dimension - The Fourth Doctor
This video is from a mid-1980's PBS pledge drive. It tells a little of the show's history through the 6th Doctor.
This is from a BBC series called "Doctor Who Confidential" which goes behind the scenes and gives some of the history of the show.
"Doctor Who reigns as the longest-running science fiction television series of all time. From 1963 through 1989, and a brief resurgence in television movie form in 1996, it survived twenty-six seasons, seven changes of the lead actors, over 40 arrivals and departures of supporting cast and countless changes to its production team. Yet there were always two things that remained constant: the Doctor's ship, the TARDIS, in the guise of a 20th Century English police box; and the Doctor himself, always a champion of good against the forces of evil. From crotchety William Hartnell to giddy Patrick Troughton, suave Jon Pertwee to flamboyant Tom Baker, childlike Peter Davison to rambunctious Colin Baker, slap-dash Sylvester McCoy to brooding Paul McGann, the Doctor was a staple of British television through three decades. Its fans were legion, both across Britain and over six continents. Even after its cancellation in 1989, the series has continued through books, audio plays and radio dramas."

In 2005, Doctor Who returned to tv. This newest incarnation of the classic show already has an enormous following not only in England but around the world. With a new Doctor, new and classic villians, and an updated TARDIS, it looks like Doctor Who may be in for another long run.
