March marks the 20th anniversary of Doctor Who's return to Saturday teatime telly on BBC One!
Is it really 10 years since Andrew Lewin wrote about the 10th anniversary in my absence?
Russell T Davies rebooted the BBC's beloved Time Lord for generations of fans (myself included) and returned as showrunner for the 60th anniversary and beyond. I wrote about the poignant timing of Rose back in 2005, which was published in the letters pages of Starburst magazine.
Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper are reprising their fan-favourite roles as the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler, respectively, for Big Finish.
Christopher Eccleston said: “I am so happy to be back recording more adventures for the Ninth Doctor with Billie. I don't think my Doctor exists without Rose. He's a 'one man, one companion' kind of alien. We've explored him on his own at Big Finish, as a loner. But there's a resilience and a bravery and a deep empathy to Billie as Rose, that's why I do this. They complete each other.”
Fantastic!
Billie Piper added: “I can’t think of a better time for Rose to reunite with her first Doctor than now. Twenty years after she first ran into the TARDIS and towards adventure, here we are again, me and Chris, ready to have fun facing the universe – and the monsters – together.”
Are you looking forward to the return of the Ninth Doctor and Rose on Big Finish? Let me know in the comments below.
