Starting November 1, Doctor Who fans can enjoy over 800 hours of content in one place via the BBC iPlayer, including a brand new spin-off series.
The Whoniverse will debut “every Doctor, every companion, and terrifyingly, hundreds of monsters that have appeared in Doctor Who.”
In addition to the existing content, they will launch their first original content, Tales from the TARDIS. This new six-part series will feature beloved Classic Who duos as they reunite in a special TARDIS and enjoy a trip down memory lane – and through time and space.
Reprising their roles as the Doctor and companions to go on a timey-wimey spin down memory lane in these unmissable adventures are Maureen O’Brien as Vicki and Peter Purves as Steven, Frazer Hines as Jamie and Wendy Padbury as Zoe, Katy Manning as Jo and Daniel Anthony as Clyde, Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor and Janet Fielding as Tegan, Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and Nicola Bryant as Peri, and Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace.
“The word Whoniverse was invented by fans, so it’s time to give it official status. And Tales of the TARDIS is one of the greatest delights of my career – to see old Doctors and companions reunited, still fighting the good fight, is a perfect way to celebrate the Doctor’s 60th birthday!”
Russell T Davies – Showrunner
Tales of the TARDIS is a Bad Wolf and BBC Studios production for BBC iPlayer. Executive Produced by Russell T Davies, Jane Tranter, Julie Gardner, Phil Collinson, and Joel Collins. It was produced by Scott Handcock and directed by Joshua M. G. Thomas. The episodes are written by Russell T Davies, Phil Ford, and Pete McTighe.
At this time, there is no announcement as to when Tales of the TARDIS will debut in the United States.
