March 26 marked the 20th anniversary of Russell T Davies and the BBC relaunching Doctor Who with Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor and Billie Piper as his companion Rose Tyler. Yet Davies, who is currently Doctor Who's showrunner, only realized recently that a documentary should be done to mark the anniversary. “It’s coming out late, because I was the one saying ‘let’s not do anything!’,” Davies laughed an interview with iO9. “And then quite late in the day I changed my mind! ‘Everyone’s talking about it, let’s do something!’. So we are.” Davies added: “There are some people watching this to who Ncuti is the Doctor—the number one, their Doctor, and so you’ve got to bear that in mind. That’s always been the case, for many years, to look for that new audience. So I actually thought it’d be a bit backward, be a bit heavy handed to (acknowledge)… and now we’re here and I’m kind of slightly kicking myself, because everyone seems to be full of joy about it!” Davies says the documentary will come out on BBC iPlayer in the UK and worldwide on Doctor Who‘s YouTube channel in the coming months as a lengthy episode of Doctor Who Unleashed.
