From Mexico to Iran - Exploring the Global Appeal of Doctor Who

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction TV programme in the world and has over 80 million fans. It began in November 1963 and the 50th anniversary special was watched in 94 countries including Thailand, Angola, USA, Guatemala and Uzbekistan. The launch of the new series recently saw the cast and crew surrounded by excited fans from Seoul to Mexico City. Not bad for a 2,000 year old time travelling alien in a blue police box. To discuss Doctor Who's global appeal David Amanor is joined by Alireza Vasefi, who as well as being the dubbing mixer on the programme for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Persian TV is also the farsi voice of The Doctor, and Social Media Editor and Mexican super fan, David Cuen.
