BBC Worldwide Press Releases Doctor Who - Project: Who? Date : 06.05.2005 An extended version of the excellent Radio 2 documentary released on CD this May.

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.

Doctor Who - Project: Who? will be published on CD by BBC Audio on 02.05.05 and will be available from all good retailers, online at www.bbcshop.com or by direct mail on 0800 136 919.
