Doctor Who 60th anniversary

By Phil Bainbridge

January 1, 2023 - In 2023 the BBC TV character known only as the Doctor will have been travelling in space and time, defending the Universe from evil – and scaring successive generations into hiding behind the sofa – for 60 years.

The iconic show was first broadcast in 1963 and will see a new actor, Ncuti Gatwa, take on the role in 2023. Russell T. Davies will once again take over as showrunner, having successfully revived the sci-fi drama after a 16-year hiatus in 2005.

Actor David Tennant, the tenth Doctor will also be reprising the role alongside long-time companion Donna Noble (Catherine Tate), although story details - and how this ties up with Gatwa’s Doctor - are being kept under wraps.
