Disney+ may boast an embarrassment of riches when it comes to blockbuster sci-fi TV shows – it’s the home of Marvel and Star Warsafter all – but when it comes to engrossing, epic action across space and time that the whole family can enjoy, British show Doctor Who ranks as one of the best Disney+ shows.
For global fans (outside the UK), the new re-envisioned, renumbered era of Doctor Who is available in its entirety starting from the 60th Anniversary Specials up to season 2. It’s a phase of the show that both delivers everything existing fans are looking for, and acts as a great place to start for those who’ve never seen a sonic screwdriver.
Starting way back in 1963, Doctor Who has been a TV staple in Blighty ever since. The show did take a hiatus from 1989-2005, however, even that period saw a few non-canon charity telethon specials featuring the likes of Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Grant as The Doctor and a canon TV movie starring Paul McGann.
