All 8 Times Doctor Who Survived Being Canceled

Across almost 60 years, Doctor Who has survived multiple cancelation attempts to emerge stronger than ever and become the longest running science fiction show of all time. The tumultuous period between 1984 and 2005 was so traumatic for Doctor Who fans that they still obsessively check the overnight ratings the morning after each episode. Despite the fact that Doctor Who has now been back for longer than it was ever away, there still seems to be an anxiety that it could be taken away from fans at any moment.
