The BBC will also release anextensive online archivethat includes cast interviews, written documents, unheard audio, and behind-the-scenes photos.
“I’d like to thank the BBC for all the hard work, to get this massive back catalogue under one roof, at long last,” showrunner Russell T. Davies said in a statement. “I’m so excited for new viewers – imagine being 8 years old, spending winter afternoons exploring the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and beyond. And we’re determined this won’t be a dusty museum - we have exciting plans to bring the back catalogue to life, with much more to be revealed!”
