Tales of the TARDIS is a companion series to the television series Doctor Who which features omnibus re-releases of stories from the show's original run, enclosed by additional material featuring actors reprising their roles. The series is produced by Bad Wolf and BBC Studios, and executive produced by Russell T Davies, Jane Tranter, Phil Collinson, and Joel Collins.[1] The new material takes place within Doctor Who's official canon.[2]
The first six episodes were released on 1 November 2023 on BBC iPlayer, and feature several actors reprising their roles from Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures, including Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy as the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors, respectively.[3][4][5] New material for Tales of the TARDIS, filmed over six days at Bad Wolf Studios from 25 to 30 September 2023,[6][7] was written by Doctor Who writers Davies, Pete McTighe, and Phil Ford, directed by Joshua M.G. Thomas, and produced by Scott Handcock.[1][8]
A seventh episode was released on iPlayer and broadcast on BBC Four on 20 June 2024, two days before the series 14 finale "Empire of Death", featuring Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson as the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday. In conjunction with the return of antagonist Sutekh in the parent series, the episode presents a remastered version of Pyramids of Mars with updated special effects,[9][10] as well as new material written by Davies, directed by Jamie Donoughue, and produced by Vicki Delow.[11][12]
