Get ready to go behind the scenes with Doctor Who once more! The BBC has announced that a new series called Doctor Who: Unleashed series will air in November 2023. Coming to both BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, the brand new access all areas of the show will give viewers an unmissable insight into the world of Doctor Who. Hosted by Steffan Powell, viewers can switch over after new episodes of Doctor Who to see how the episode was made.
Being described as the “ultimate companion to Doctor Who“, many will immediately think of Doctor Who Confidential. The previous behind-the-scenes series ran from 2005-2011. It was created to complement the revival of Doctor Who back in 2005. Now, Doctor Who: Unleashed takes the place of the new series to go behind the scenes of the legendary drama, right in time for the 60th Anniversary.

Hailing from Amman Valley in South Wales, Steffan Powell became BBC News’ first ever Gaming and Culture Correspondent in 2021. He can often be heard presenting on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds and seen presenting factual entertainment programmes on Welsh language TV station S4C. Powell can be pictured with David Tennant, who returns to Doctor Who as the 14th Doctor. Returning Showrunner and Writer Russell T Davies said the following on the Doctor Who: Unleashed announcement:
“Over the years, I meet so many people who were inspired to find careers in TV, because of the behind-the-scenes material the BBC would show. And now it’s back, in the grand old tradition of Doctor Who Confidential, but in a brand new form, Unleashed! So a whole new generation – and faithful fans of old – can see what the stars and the crew get up to behind the cameras.”
