The whole science fiction world is so creative and so money-making right now, I think your wildest dreams can come true," Davies explained.Didn't have space for this in my interview (also: bit niche) but here's Russell T Davies' vision of an MCU-style future for #DoctorWho, complete with David Tennant/Matt Smith team-up and – the petition[...]
Russell T Davies may be best known as the man who brought back Doctor Who to the BBC, cast Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant as the Doctor, and brought Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman, Jack Barrowman and Catherine Tate into the TARDIS But he is also known as the writer and creator of several major television shows[...]
Blimey, has it really been 14 years since Series 2 of the new Doctor Who? 2006 was the year where everything changed. It was David Tennant's first season as The Doctor and Billie Piper's second and last. It was the season that caught fire in the US and turned the show from a decades-long cult […]
Last week, Russell T. Davies, who was responsible for reviving Doctor Who in 2005, joined Emily Cook on Twitter for her re-watch and tweet-along of his 2006 Christmas Special "The Runaway Bride". It introduced future companion Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) declaring "SANTA'S A ROBOT!", which became the hashtag #santasarobot. It was all good fun. Davies […]

Every now and then, we pick a Doctor Who story that we feel represents that particular Doctor best of all. It's not necessarily the best of that Doctor's run, just the one that sums up that Doctor's era and the show best. This week, we pick the quintessential 10th Doctor story, "The Girl in the […]
"Blink" is considered one of the most perfect and clever episodes of Doctor Who ever written. It clinched Steven Moffat the showrunner job when Russell T. Davies left, and also helped put Carey Mulligan on the map as an actor to watch. She reportedly turned down an offer to be the next companion to go […]
David Tennant released an episode of David Tennant Does a Podcast with… this week where h talked to his former Doctor Who co-star and buddy Billie Piper. The show made the two of them huge stars, though Piper had already spent her teenage years as the biggest pop star in Britain during the 1990s. The […]
We’ve gathered a truly stellar list of writers and illustrators, who have contributed their time and creativity for a wonderful cause.“Doctor Who and BBC Children in Need are a powerful combination, and Adventures in Lockdown is a book that celebrates the best of the Whoniverse – which is to say, the best in all of[...]
Doctor Who is not a religious show. It never was nor did it set out to be. There are, however, quite a lot of religious and spiritual themes built into the show. This is especially true of the show since it was revived in 2005. There were always ideas and themes embedded in the show […]
This is a new series we're launching about the BBC's Doctor Who where we pick a story that sums up the personality and era of one particular Doctor. The story is not necessarily the best or the worst of that Doctor's era, just the one that we feel is the perfect introduction and summation of […]
The 13th Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker and helmed by showrunner Chris Chibnall, is the gamechanger for Doctor Who in many ways. First, she was the first female lead in canon. Then in her second season, Chibnall dropped a bombshell. The Doctor was the original Timeless Child, an immortal being from an unknown place who […]
Doctor Who is one of those British shows where virtually every actor who's anyone will have been guests on it at one point. The other two are Bergerac and Game of Thrones, which looked set to have employed virtually every actor in the UK before it ended. A lot of current stars were on the […]
Finally, the BBC has put together a supercut of the 9th Doctor's best moments. The video runs just around 49 minutes long and is been released on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel. Yes, this pretty much compiles Christopher Eccleston's best moments of his one season as The Doctor. The 9th Doctor is probably the […]
The BBC just released the latest Doctor Who supercut: the 7th Doctor adventure "Battlefield" has been cut down to 30 minutes and uploaded to the official Doctor Who YouTube Channel. The would-be epic story for Season 26, broadcast in 1989, is one of the most ambitious and also most flawed stories in the history of […]
Here's another thing HBO Max somehow forgot (or decided not) to tell us about: they now have Doctor Who, Torchwood, and The Sarah Jane Adventures. That's the entire collection of the revived show, from the 2005 first series starring Christopher Eccleston as the 9th Doctor to the 2018 11th series that introduced Jodie Whittaker as […]
Nothing lasts forever, not even lockdowns. Doctor Who Magazine writer and BBC Radio editor Emily Cook announced today that the next Doctor Who Lockdown rewatch would be the penultimate one. So it's going to be another epic two-episode rewatch, this time of episodes "New Earth" and "Gridlock". Showrunner Russell T. Davies has already confirmed he […]
It feels like a million years since Series 12 of Doctor Who was on the air. That was the season where showrunner Chris Chibnall put his foot down and changed the entire history and lore of the show with a major retcon. Now, the BBC has released all the scripts of the season for free […]
Once again Emily Cook, empress of the Doctor Who global lockdown rewatches, has announced the next rewatch event. "The Fires of Pompeii" rewatch will take place on Sunday, May 17th at 7 pm British Standard Time. That's 2 pm US Eastern Time. Joining the livetweet will be episode writer James Moran, producer Tracy Childs, and […]
As if Doctor Who fans haven't already had their minds blown by the revelations from Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker's 12th series, here comes series franchise heavyweights Russell T. Davies and Steven Moffat to tag-team another pretty reveal. During a dual interview between the two screenwriters for the series' monthly magazine, it was revealed that […]
