If you're itching for more Doctor Who after the recent New Year's Day special, you're in luck.

Longtime fans will be able to get all nostalgic, with more than 500 classic episodes being streamed on Twitch as part of a marathon – beginning this weekend.

Kicking off on Saturday, January 5 at 5pm GMT, all 26 series between 1963 and 1989 showcasing the first seven Doctors will be broadcast, from 'An Unearthly Child' to 'Survival'.

Twitch did something similar last year, with the marathon lasting several weeks.

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy played the first seven iterations of the Doctor.

In related news, the BBC recently confirmed that we won't be getting any new Doctor Who episodes until 2020.

After a successful series 11 of the revived show, Jodie Whittaker will be returning as the Thirteenth Doctor alongside Mandip Gill, Tosin Cole, and Bradley Walsh, who play Yaz, Ryan, and Graham respectively.

"I really can't wait to step back in and get to work again," Jodie told The Hollywood Reporter.

"It's such an incredible role. It's been an extraordinary journey so far, and I'm not quite ready to hand it over yet."

Doctor Who airs on BBC One.
