The show has had a large influence in the media and across society since its inception in 1963. Regular episodes were occasionally broadcast during the Christmas period during its original run from 1963 to 1989, but only made significant mention of the holiday in "<a href="/wiki/The_Feast_of_Steven" class="mw-redirect" title="The Feast of Steven">The Feast of Steven</a>" (1965). Beginning with the programme's revival in 2005, yearly special <a href="/wiki/Christmas" title="Christmas">Christmas</a> episodes were produced in addition to a <a href="/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_episodes_(2005%E2%80%93present)" title="List of Doctor Who episodes (2005–present)">regular series</a> until 2017. From 2019 to 2022 (with the exception of 2020) the show temporarily transitioned to <a href="/wiki/New_Year%27s_Day" title="New Year's Day">New Year's Day</a> specials instead. Beginning in 2023, the programme returned to producing Christmas specials. </p><p><i>Doctor Who</i> revolves around an alien <a href="/wiki/Time_Lord" title="Time Lord">Time Lord</a> called <a href="/wiki/The_Doctor_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Doctor (Doctor Who)">the Doctor</a> who travels with a <a href="/wiki/Companion_(Doctor_Who)" title="Companion (Doctor Who)">companion</a> in a time and space machine called the <a href="/wiki/TARDIS" title="TARDIS">TARDIS</a>. Instead of dying, the Doctor <a href="/wiki/Regeneration_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Regeneration (Doctor Who)">regenerates</a> by changing every cell in their body and taking on a new appearance. Throughout their adventures the Doctor and their companion frequently stop other aliens from committing acts of violence. </p><p>The holiday episodes have proven to be a success with viewers, by bringing in larger viewing figures than regular episodes of the programme. The 2008 special, "<a href="/wiki/Voyage_of_the_Damned_(Doctor_Who)" title="Voyage of the Damned (Doctor Who)">Voyage of the Damned</a>", is the most-viewed <i>Doctor Who</i> episode since 1979.
