The BBC has canceled one of their longest-running series after 23 years on the air. Established in 1922, the British Broadcasting Company is one of the oldest and largest broadcasting companies in history. Over the years, the network has been home to several long-running shows, including the sci-fi series Doctor Who, which originally debuted in 1963 and ran until 1989 before being relaunched in 2005 and is still running to this day.

In addition to Doctor Who, there are several other long-running BBC series. Coronation Street and EastEnders are two long-running BBC soap operas, which began in 1960 and 1985, respectively. Causality is a medical drama that has been a staple of British television since 1986, while Silent Witness is a police procedural drama that has been broadcast since 1996. However, another one of their long-running soap operas, which has aired on BBC Scotland since 2002, has now been canceled.
