Note
  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

In March 2009, it was announced that Doctor Who had again been nominated in the "Drama Series" category for the British Academy Television Awards; however, it lost to the BBC series Wallander at the Awards on Sunday 26 April.[6] The series picked up two BAFTAs at the British Academy Television Craft Awards on Sunday 17 May. Visual Effects company The Mill won the "Visual Effects" award for the episode "The Fires of Pompeii" and Philip Kloss won in the "Editing Fiction/Entertainment" category.[7]

Doctor Who was extremely popular at the BBC.co.uk's online "Best of Drama" poll and swept all the categories (except "Worst Drama") in both 2005[10] and 2006,[11] the last two years it was made.

In 2005 it beat 29 other nominations with more than 50% of votes in every category, except Best Villain, especially winning Best Drama with 55.86% (ahead of the second-ranked series Bleak House with 15.95%). It also reached the second place in three categories it was nominated twice (Best Actor, Favourite Moment and Most Desirable Star, with the four highest ranks for the last one).

Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) was the highest rated in three BBC's "Best Of" lists: Best Actress in 2005 and 2006, and Most Desirable Star in 2005.

In 2005 Christopher Eccleston obtained 59.42% of votes as the Ninth Doctor and David Tennant was ranked second with 9.15% as the Tenth Doctor.

In almost every category of the BBC's list there were 30 nominations. However, only the five best ranked are finally presented (the others figure on a list). The Doctor Who nominees presented here are the ones which was on top 5 (which does not include, for example, John Barrowman's 2005 nomination for Best Actor due to his 14th place).

The Saturn Awards, annually presented Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films since 1972, are the second oldest awards to honor science fiction, fantasy and horror (after the Hugo Awards). However it only began to reward series in 1989, after Doctor Who's original run. The series has been nominated for 20 awards between 2007 and 2019, winning the only Best International Series Award (defeating its spin-off Torchwood) in 2008 and Best Television Presentation for the Christmas special "The Husbands of River Song" in 2016.

Paul McGann's Saturn Award nomination for playing the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 film made him the first actor in history to be nominated for an award for playing the Doctor.

The 1996 Doctor Who television movie won Best Television Presentation, one of the only four awards received by the franchise prior to its revival in 2005. McGann was nominated for Best Actor.
