Doctor Who : 1963 - 1989 + 1996
Classic Doctor Who is the longest-running science fiction television series in the history of broadcasting, a series that began on the BBC1 network in the United Kingdom in November 1963 and ran until 1989. Whilst UK viewers warmed to the subsequent 1996 TV movie ratings were not similiarly strong in America and this co-production sadly spelled eighth incarnation Paul McGann's only appearance to date.

Doctor Who : 2005 - Present day
The franchise was successfully relaunched in late March 2005 with ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston taking viewers and new companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) on a 13 week journey of adventure and excitement. Christmas of 2005 found the Time Lord recovering from his latest transformation into a more personable, less angst ridden tenth persona played by David Tennant. Over four years featuring three full seasons and seven specials David helped further consolidate and strengthen the series success before eventually handing over the coverted role to his successor, relative unknown Matt Smith on New Years Day 2010.

Red Dwarf
Red Dwarf is the longest running BBC2 sit-com in the UK. The first episode was originally transmitted on the 15th February 1988. Since then, seven series have been made, totalling 44 episodes to date (1997). The show is set on a large ship (the "Red Dwarf") in space, three million years, give or take a day, from Earth. The whole of the crew has been wiped out, except for David Lister, now the last human alive; Arnold Rimmer, a hologrammatic simulation of a dead crew member; The Cat, a humanoid creature that evolved from Lister's pet cat; and, in the later series, Kryten, a service mechanoid.
