The BFI toast the 2005 revival with ‘Doctor Who: 20 Years On’ – an afternoon of episodes and discussions. 

In partnership with the DWAS, the BFI have announced an event celebrating two decades of “new” Doctor Who.

With Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, the show burst onto screens in 2005 proving its enduring appeal to a family audience on a Saturday night.

Here’s the details for Doctor Who: 20 Years On

20 years on from the relaunch of Doctor Who, we look at what it is about this TV phenomenon that connects with different audiences and the themes and devices that have become essential components over the years. At today’s event, we screen a couple of episodes from the first series and talk about the impact the show has had over the 60 years since the original programme first hit the screens.

Digtial Artist Joe Cook has created a superb poster for the event…

Doctor Who: 20 Years On takes place on Sunday 4th May, 2025 at NFT1, BFI Southbank, London SE1 8XT.
