Six years prior to man first stepping on the moon, 'Doctor Who' graced the screens on the BBC. The iconic sci-fi series follows the Doctor's intergalactic adventures, alongside foes such as the tyrannical Daleks and Cybermen. It premiered in November 1963, and celebrates its 60th anniversary this week. A recently released economic report from the BBC estimates the last 13 series contributed to over £256 million (approx. $489.5 million AUD) to the UK economy. The original series ran through from 1963 through to 1989, and now it finds itself in a more modern universe dominated by streaming. On November 25th, it will be globally relaunched, marked by the first of three special episodes, which will appear exclusively on Disney+ outside of the UK. The deal between Walt Disney, and BBC broadens the brand's international reach, and all new episodes will run on Disney+. UK viewers will still be able to access the show via BBC, where a backlog of over 800 episodes is available
