Ahead of the 60th anniversary specials arriving next month, The BBC is opening up its vaults to release the biggest collection of “Doctor Who” to the British streaming platform.
Launching on November 1st, over 800 episodes of “Doctor Who” programming on iPlayer will be available. That includes much of the extensive back catalogue of classic “Doctor Who” joining the 2005 revival of the show.
Every episode on iPlayer from the back catalogue will be available with multiple accessibility options, including subtitles, audio description, and sign language.
In addition, an extensive online archive from the show’s history will be released on the BBC site including interviews with cast, written documents, long unheard audio, and behind-the-scenes photos.
Russell T. Davies, who was behind the 2005 revival and is coming back as showrunner starting with the anniversary specials, says:
“I’d like to thank the BBC for all the hard work, to get this massive back catalogue under one roof, at long last. I’m so excited for new viewers – imagine being 8 years old, spending winter afternoons exploring the 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. And we’re determined this won’t be a dusty museum – we have exciting plans to bring the back catalogue to life, with much more to be revealed!”
David Tennant returns in the form of the Fourteenth Doctor for the three 60th anniversary special that are expected to air in late November.
