How Doctor Who Did The MCU First - And How It Can Again
Before the MCU, Doctor Who built the same kind of shared universe and brought in millions of viewers. Russell T Davies used his 2005 revival of Doctor Who as a launchpad for two major spinoffs featuring popular characters from the series: the darker, Captain Jack Harkness-fronted Torchwood; and the kid-friendly The Sarah Jane Adventures, which focused on classic companion Sarah Jane Smith. Each proved a hit with viewers at the time, and their shared DNA gave the Whoniverse a sense of scale that covered all audience bases. There was even a behind-the-scenes show, Doctor Who Confidential, which was similar in style to the MCU's Marvel Studios Assembled.
