Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper are amongst those
talking exclusively about the brand new TV series of Doctor Who in this BBC Radio 2
documentary, presented by Anthony Head.
Project: Who? goes exclusively behind the scenes of Doctor
Who to discover how the action-packed new BBC ONE series has been made, with award-winning
writer and executive producer Russell T Davies at the helm.
Featuring new and exclusive interviews with the cast and
creative team, the programme examines why the BBC decided to launch the new television
series now, nearly a decade after the Doctor's last small screen adventure.
It also explores how the format of the show has been
developed for a new audience, how the character of the Doctor was cast, and how his
adventures will be launched and marketed around the globe. This excellent CD release
includes 30 minutes of footage not broadcast on BBC Radio 2, including:
- 'The Last Time Lord' - why the producers decided to make the
Doctor the only survivor of his people
- Discussion of Murray Gold's theme tune arrangement
- An extended interview with Russell T Davies, in which he
discusses how long he thinks he'll stay with the series, why they can't read unsolicited
scripts, and whether the new Doctor will ever reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!
Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper - who play the
Doctor and Rose - talk about their experiences on the new series, along with executive
producers Julie Gardner and Mal Young, writer and executive producer Russell T Davies,
writer Mark Gatiss, director Joe Ahearne, producer Phil Collinson and many others.
Presented by Anthony Head, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame
and written and produced by Malcolm Prince, this is a fascinating journey into the
exciting dimensions of Doctor Who.
