Doctoberfest
Doctor Who is the longest-running science fiction television program in the world. The series first premiered on the BBC in 1963 as a British production and quickly built a devoted following. It gained a strong American audience in the 1980s through PBS broadcasts and experienced a hugely successful relaunch in 2005 that introduced the show to new generations of fans worldwide.
Science fiction fans of all kinds will find plenty to love at this year’s Doctoberfest celebration—whether you’re a longtime Whovian or discovering the TARDIS for the first time.
