Doctor Who commentary on iPlayer
November 24, 2023
The Doctor Who universe is set to be expanded with on-screen commentary coming to BBC iPlayer for selected upcoming episodes of the sci-fi series.
Special guests will give an exclusive insight into the creation and filming of some of the new adventures. Available directly after selected episodes air on BBC One and iPlayer, viewers can head to the ‘Whoniverse’ to get a deeper insight into the show.
This new offering will begin with the first Doctor Who 60th anniversary special The Star Beast, with the Fourteenth Doctor himself David Tennant, and producers Phil Collinson and Vicki Delow giving the audience their commentary. Tennant and Collinson will return and be joined by Showrunner Russell T Davies as they commentate the third special The Giggle.
Davies commented: “For years, Doctor Who has been providing top-level in-vision commentaries for selected episodes, on DVD. But we’re now bringing this to the iPlayer – as soon as you’ve watched The Star Beast, you can see exactly what David Tennant thinks of it, scene by scene, I think Doctor Who has the greatest behind-the-scenes coverage of any show in the world, and we’re determined to keep expanding it.”
Doctor Who returns on November 25th on BBC One and iPlayer with The Star Beast, the first of three special episodes to coincide with the 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa’s first episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will air on Christmas Day.
