For the first time ever, the BBC will be the streaming home of as much of Doctor Who history as it possibly can be next month in celebration of the show’s 60th anniversary, as over 800 episodes from across 60 years of adventures in time and space head to its streaming platform, iPlayer.

Announced today, the BBC will launch the streaming archive—which will includes all of the contemporary revived era of the show, stories from its classic era, spinoff series such as Class, Torchwood, and The Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as ancillary programs like Doctor Who Confidential—on November 1 in the UK. Alongside the release, the corporation will also launch a new archive project at the official Doctor Who website that collects rare audio, cast interviews, and high-resolution scans of thousands of samples of written archival documents, behind-the-scenes imagery and more to chart 60 years of television history behind the making of the series.
