Doctor Who spin-off Tales of the TARDIS launches today on BBC iPlayer, but as showrunner Russell T Davies tellsSFX magazinein the new issue published today, there are already “bigger plans” in place for the show.
“There are bigger plans behind this that we can’t talk about yet. Eventually TOTT [Tales of the TARDIS] will begin to make more sense as the series next year unfolds, you will see,” Davies said. “But it’s really a lovely thing to do for the 60th.”
Davies also described the process of making the series as a happy one. “I’ve had one of the greatest weeks of my entire career taking the cast members out for dinner every night and talking to them and every single night, we’ve been sitting there saying how we wish that [former Doctor Who producer] John Nathan-Turner was still alive.”
Doctor Who: Tales of the TARDIS is available now on BBC iPlayer.
