Over the years, I meet so many people who were inspired to find careers in TV, because of the behind-the-scenes material the 91Èȱ¬ would show. And now it’s back, in the grand old tradition of Doctor Who Confidential, but in a brand new form, Unleashed! So a whole new generation - and faithful fans of old - can see what the stars and the crew get up to behind the cameras.
Just as you come out from behind the sofa, it is time to step behind the scenes as Doctor Who: Unleashed lands on 91Èȱ¬ Three and iPlayer this November. A brand new access all areas show, Doctor Who: Unleashed will give viewers an unmissable insight into the world of Doctor Who.
