Earlier this month, Doctor Who’s showrunner, Russell T. Davies, teased Fans. Davies dropped a hint in the latest copy of the Official Doctor Who Magazine. It was revealed something with the acronym of “TOTT” had been in production. Now, it has been officially revealed. Doctor Who: Tales of The Tardis will see Doctors and old friends reunite. Together, they’ll remember their travels in time and space. It features former Doctors and former companions.
Six special episodes have been produced. Tales of the TARDIS is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios Productions for BBC iPlayer.
