I just watched Day of the Doctor! My God, what a brilliant episode. Tomorrow, I'm watching Time of the Doctor.
I was wondering if there's a breakdown of how many total hours of Doctor Who there are. Like if I start watching the 2005 Doctor Who, how many total hours will it take to watch every episode? What about the classic Doctor Who?

I added up the episodes and times from the Wikipedia list of Doctor Who episodes. This excludes movies and the 2013 50th anniversary docudrama as well as web episodes, animated features, etc.
Classic Who
694 episodes and 1 special over 26 seasons with a total run time of 295 hours. As noted in the comments, some of the early episodes are no longer available in video form.

According to Binge Clock, 2005 Doctor Who is 5 days, 18 hours, and 45 minutes long (138:45).
Not sure if this is the series in total or just the stuff before 2005, but 1963 Doctor Who is 12 days, one hour, and 10 minutes (288:10).

The length for 1963 Dr. Who is approximately equal to the 695 episodes lasting 294 hours for "classic" Doctor Who (1963-89) given in Blackwood's answer. 12 days, 1 hour and 10 minutes total exactly 17,350 minutes, while Blackwood's 294 hours, if exact, would be exactly 17,640 minutes. A difference of 290 minutes divided by 695 episodes makes a difference of 0.417 minutes in the length of the average episode, which seems within the limits of reasonable uncertainty. So both sources for "Classic" Dr. seem to be fairly correct about the total length.

@M.A.Golding Note also orangedog's comment about season 22 being 45 minute episodes instead of the usual 23-ish for that era... it's possible stormblessed's source overlooked that, and it would about cover the difference...

I added up the episodes and times from the Wikipedia list of Doctor Who episodes. This excludes movies and the 2013 50th anniversary docudrama as well as web episodes, animated features, etc.
Classic Who
694 episodes and 1 special over 26 seasons with a total run time of 295 hours. As noted in the comments, some of the early episodes are no longer available in video form.

Note, however, that some of the early episodes no longer exist and so can’t be watched.

(To save doing the maths: 294+125+419 = 838 hours, or just under 35 days if you wanted to watch non-stop)

Should we also include the Peter Cushing films? I mean, they're not very good, but if you're going to be a completist...

@DarrelHoffman I had to draw the line somewhere. I realise it's arbitrary, but I decided to only include complete episodes that were broadcast on TV as Doctor Who.

@Blackwood I think your answer would be improved by including BruceWayne's calculation in bold at the bottom.

According to Binge Clock, 2005 Doctor Who is 5 days, 18 hours, and 45 minutes long (138:45).
Not sure if this is the series in total or just the stuff before 2005, but 1963 Doctor Who is 12 days, one hour, and 10 minutes (288:10).

The length for 1963 Dr. Who is approximately equal to the 695 episodes lasting 294 hours for "classic" Doctor Who (1963-89) given in Blackwood's answer. 12 days, 1 hour and 10 minutes total exactly 17,350 minutes, while Blackwood's 294 hours, if exact, would be exactly 17,640 minutes. A difference of 290 minutes divided by 695 episodes makes a difference of 0.417 minutes in the length of the average episode, which seems within the limits of reasonable uncertainty. So both sources for "Classic" Dr. seem to be fairly correct about the total length.

@M.A.Golding Note also orangedog's comment about season 22 being 45 minute episodes instead of the usual 23-ish for that era... it's possible stormblessed's source overlooked that, and it would about cover the difference...

30 seconds: overlay them and run at a few thousand frames per second. You may have some data interpretation problems, but the Tardis can handle that.
