How Russel T Davies saved Doctor Who
Listen now
Description
Doctor Who tried to come back in the '90s, but it didn't take. Christopher Eccleston's short 13-episode run re-ignited the show into a new cultural powerhouse, which also spawned two concurrent spin-off series.
Vinnk and Sean, along with guest host Miles (from sister podcast Casual Trek) examine what made the 2005 relaunch successful, areas where Davies wasn't so strong, and some of what we can look forward to (or are dreading) when he returns as Doctor Who showrunner in 2023.
Starring:
* Christopher Eccleston - The Doctor
* Billie Piper - Rose Tyler
* John Barrowman - Captain Jack Harkness
* Noel Clarke - Mickey Smith
* Camille Coduri - Jackie Tyler
Available on HBO Max (for now), Amazon, BritBox, and Disney+ (eventually).
