I don't think there's something else in tv that comes close in terms of length? Not even soap operas I think?
Soap operas definitely do. Not so much in terms of years, but in terms of episodes, they very much eclipse the length of DW. GH for example has essentially run five days a week/52 weeks a year since 1963. Their most prolific actor has chalked up over 1700 episodes and he has only been there since 1993.

Not that I'm saying soap operas are the greatest at coming up with ideas or anything, but....

but in terms of episodes
I should probably shut up and go to bed tonight, of course the difference is in terms of eps. SO are usually daily I think. I'm seriously terrible at these things though, I only ever watch things on my laptop... tv has stopped existing in all its forms a long time ago for me. In my defense, it is utter crap where I live.

"GH for example has essentially run five days a week/52 weeks a year since 1963"
Amazing. I always ask myself, how do these actors cope with the fact that they basically have another personality which is almost as meaningful as their own? Every day for years... I can't even tell if it would be a benediction or utter doom. It's not like SO themes are even interesting or stimulating.

Yup. Soaps are daily. I went through a period in high school where I watched quite a few of them. And, honestly, I always wondered how soap opera actors dealt with the grind. I mean a movie takes months to film two hours. A television show takes a week to film an hour. Soaps film an hour a day. With pretty much no breaks. As I said, that one actor has filmed over 1700 episodes. That seems like an awful lot of time to be someone you are not.

I feel like soaps probably end up using a lot of first (maybe second) takes. If you put it into context, the average work day is 8 hours long, so I think it's pretty doable when the director isn't as picky.
