The series has always adapted and embraced change, as the show’s central pillar hinges on the baton’s passing from one Doctor to another. However, Doctor Who has gone through its biggest regeneration, as the partnership between the BBC and Disney has finally begun. Not only that,

We’re at just under a week until Doctor Who has returned to our screens with the first of three-anniversary specials, celebrating 60 years of sci-fi glory.
