Posted Filed under

Steffan Powell will host special edition of Doctor Who: Unleashed celebrating the last twenty years since Doctor Who returned.

Powell will be joined by a host of cast and creatives that have played a part in bringing the show back, including past Doctors David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker, former companions Billie Piper, Pearl Mackie, and Mandip Gill, ex-showrunners Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall, the current Doctor Ncuti Gatwa alongside his newest companion Varada Sethu, as well as the current showrunner and the man who brought the show back in 2005, Russell T Davies.

As well as chatting with the stars about what Doctor Who means to them, Powell will reveal secrets from behind the scenes with interviews with those who work behind the cameras to bring Doctor Who to life.

Speaking of the special episode, Russell T Davies said: “After the season’s climactic end, it’s great to celebrate the 20 years that led us here. I hope this is a party for faithful viewers, with a galaxy of stars, Doctors, companions, Billie Piper reunited with David Tennant, and the making of our first ever Dalek!”

Steffan Powell adds “What a joy to be giving the Unleashed treatment to 20 years’ worth of Doctor Who history. To see the lasting impact the show has had on those who helped bring the magic to screen has been a privilege, and a reminder of just how much the show means to so many.”

The special episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed will air on BBC Three, BBC iPlayer and BBC Wales in June 2025. Previous episodes of Doctor Who: Unleashed are available to watch now in the Whoniverse on BBC iPlayer.
