I know, I know, for a program that’s been running on and off for the past 50 years, keeping up with the entirety of Doctor Who is a tall order. But there is a way for you to get a sense of the order in which everything took place at least, without having to necessarily plow through every single adventure since 1963.
The YouTube channel Babelcolour has put together a video compilation which takes a snippet from every single story, including specially-filmed prequels and trailers and comedy specials, and weaves it into a compelling ten-minute whole. And rather than just cherry pick the best bits, they’ve gone to the trouble of arranging them in date order. You’ll see Daleks roll along Westminster Bridge, Cybermen changing just as radically as the Doctor himself, black and white giving way to color, special effects improve, companions come and go, spin-offs, the whole darn shooting match.
That’s the scale of the thing you’ve signed up for. Impressive, isn’t it? (Found via Buzzfeed.)

That was absolutely cool…been watching since Tom Baker my self & have been totally addicted to the new series too, when I can catch it.
Thanks for the memories!!!!!
Brilliant indeed! Saw my first episode and have been hooked since. I can’t seem to get enough Jammie-Dodgers, vegetables lapels and fish fingers in custard. Blink hooked me.
Saw the U-Tube video. Great. Absolutely great. Loved every minute of it!
The best ever
for sure thought i was coming here to enter a contest to win all dvds that are out so far
I’m fifty years old and new to the Doctor.
I totally enjoyed this.
Sorry for my enthusiasm. I’m new to the BBC and Doctor Who. I live in the US and found the BBC channel by accident when I came across a Doctor Who marathon.
Now I’m hooked.
When does the new season air?
