Because at the time the decision was made, it had been off the air for 14 years, and STILL had a huge following. Because it was brilliant.

Then Controller of BBC1 Jane tranter suggested Doctor Who to then head of Drama Julie Gardner when they were looking for a new show to fill the Saturday Tea-time slot. Revivals had been on the cards since it was originally axed in 1989.

The REAL question that needs answering is "Why did it take so long to bring it back?"
