The marathon includes adventures featuring the first seven Doctors, from 1963's An Unearthly Child to 1989's Survival, from the first 26 series of Doctor Who.

Episodes will run from 5th January until 25th January, with 11 to 12 hours of new episodes every day. The episodes will be repeated every day, meaning nothing but Doctor Who 24 hours a day. Check the full schedule below.
