Earlier this year, Stargate SG-1 entered the Guinness Book of World Records, gaining an entry in the 2007 volume when it claimed the 'Longest running sci-fi TV show (consecutive)' title. Current stars of the show Michael Shanks, Christopher Judge, Amanda Tapping, Ben Browder, Beau Bridges and Claudia Black were featured in print alongside executive producers Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper.
However, fans of the Sci Fi Channel's more recent acquisition Dr Who have queried the inclusion of SG-1 in the record books. They cite their own show's 695 episode run between 1963 and 1989, when the show went on hiatus prior to the making of a later television movie and the current run of new episodes.
Now the BBC, makers of Dr Who, have weighed into the argument and are promising 'an exciting development to this story' soon - for more information on the differing claims of Stargate SG-1 and Dr Who to this particular milestone, go here.
