Doctor Who 20th Anniv. "Unleashed": Gatwa, Tennant, Whittaker & More

A special Doctor Who: Unleashed celebrates 20 years since the show's return, with Ncuti Gatwa, David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, and others.

As we near the second season finale of Showrunner Russell T. Davies's Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu-starring Doctor Who a celebration is already in order. Steffan Powell is hosting a special edition of Doctor Who: Unleashed for BBC Three, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Wales that will celebrate the past twenty years since the show's returned, and he will be joined by a number of cast and creatives that have played a part in bringing the show back into "The Whoniverse": Davies, Gatwa, Sethu, David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, Billie Piper, Pearl Mackie, Mandip Gill, ex-showrunners Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall, and others. In addition, Powell will be offering behind-the-scenes looks with the folks who helped bring the magic to life (and onto our screens).

"After the season's climactic end, it's great to celebrate the 20 years that led us here. I hope this is a party for faithful viewers, with a galaxy of stars, Doctors, companions, Billie Piper reunited with David Tennant, and the making of our first ever Dalek!" Davies shared. Powell added, "What a joy to be giving the 'Unleashed' treatment to 20 years' worth of 'Doctor Who' history. To see the lasting impact the show has had on those who helped bring the magic to screen has been a privilege, and a reminder of just how much the show means to so many."
