With “classic” Doctor Who episodes coming to BritBox next week, it begs the question, will it also become the home of new episodes moving forward?
“From 10th June, we will have the Doctor Who classic episodes back on BritBox – s1-26 plus the movie, over 350 hours of content,” a spokesperson tells TV Tonight.
“No newly discovered episodes will be included at this time. We hope to expand this collection to include more Doctor Who episodes in the future and are currently looking into it.”
Meanwhile writer Russell T. Davies has responded to queries the show might be scrapped entirely.
IGN reports he told BBC Radio 2, “You will get an announcement… there’s a press release lumbering through the BBC, which as you know is like the Jurassic period and 57 people have to sign off on every single word. So I promise you, in about a week or two weeks, there will be a press release. And I can hear the gears slowing down even as I say this.”
