Trek probably has a larger worldwide fanbase for the simple reason it gave better attention to its aesthetics and its brilliant use of colour back in the 1960s and then moved into big budget movies in the 1980s. Also the concept of Trek is far more realistic of course than Doctor Who could ever be, but who necessarily wants realism in a sci-fi series? Sure the acting and sets on Doctor Who were generally bad but the stories and races pretty amazing and of course every series has its dire episodes (which Urban is covering) Doctor Who as a series is really an acquired taste.
