5 Times Doctor Who Reused Storylines And Made Them Better (& 5 Times It Made Them Worse)

In the era of infinite content, it is getting difficult to find original stories to tell, so sometimes even the biggest franchises turn to recycling some old plots in a new form, and Doctor Who is no different. This sci-fi drama has been on air for nearly 60 years, and that is a long time for a TV show to successfully compel its viewers to keep tuning in. Over the course of its run, Doctor Who has created certain story templates that work well on its target audience, and have since revisited them. However, sometimes the show hasn’t changed its templates enough, resulting in a few episodes that give viewers déjà vu all throughout.
