Doctor Who: Time Fracture: Bradley, Barrowman Reveal Early DW Memories

Earlier this week, Doctor Who fans learned that David Bradley and John Barrowman are reprising their respective roles as William Hartnell's First Doctor and Captain Jack Harkness in pre-recorded cameo appearances in the upcoming immersive West End production Doctor Who: Time Fracture. With impressive DW resumes such as those, Bradley and Barrowman have pretty much cemented their names in the show's lore. But the duo's dance with the Doctor goes much further than that- as Bradley and Barrowman explain in the clips you're about to see. When it comes to earliest memories of the show, be prepared to learn how the Autons contributed to Barrowman's fear of mannequins- while for Bradley, it was about seeing just how disturbing the Cybermen and Daleks look on set, face-to-face.

"This is going to be something really special. Anyone who sees the show who is not a Doctor Who fan when they go in, surely will be when they come out! It's going to be an amazing experience," said Bradley. Based on the long-running BBC sci-fi series and stemming from Immersive Everywhere, Doctor Who: Time Fracture will span seventeen worlds with a company of 80-plus, utilizing original costumes and props used in a number of Doctor Who episodes- including Daleks, Cybermen, Time Lords, and more. Doctor Who: Time Fracture is written by Daniel Dingsdale with design by Rebecca Brower, with James Goss on board as a show lore consultant and script editor. Previews are set to begin on May 26, with the show expected to debut in Summer 2021.
