Who is The Doctor?

BBC Radio 2 has got a special treat for Doctor Who fans tomorrow, Thursday, at 10.30pm. Right after An Adventure in Space and Time finishes you can continue your travels in the TARDIS with Who is the Doctor?, one of the most comprehensive radio documentaries on the Time Lord ever!

Who is The Doctor? is presented by Russell Tovey who many remember in the role of Alonso Frame in the Tenth Doctor adventures, Voyage of the Damned and The End of Time. The programme looks at the many eras of Doctor Who and examines why and how it’s lasted half a century. It also considers the impact of the show’s 2005 revival and sheds light on its origins back in the early 1960s.

Featuring new interviews with the cast and crew of the series, we’ll hear from Doctors Matt Smith, David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston and Sylvester McCoy plus companions Jenna Coleman, Billie Piper, Louise Jameson and the late Elisabeth Sladen.

Who is The Doctor? is on BBC Radio 2 tomorrow (Thursday) at 10.30pm and will be available on BBC iPlayer from Friday onwards.
