SPACE AND TIME Celebrating 60 years of DOCTOR WHO

The BBC has announced new cast for Ncuti Gatwa’s upcoming debut season, including Bhav Joshi (Tetris), Millie Kent (The Split), Eilidh Loan (England’s Forgotten Queen), Pete MacHale (Gangs Of London), Sophie Ablett (A Brixton Tale), Miles Yekinni (Doctors) and Hemi Yeroham (The Amelia Project).

An undisclosed guest star from 2005 is also scheduled to return.

The second part of the Big Finish 60th anniversary audio adventure has been announced as Once And Future: The Artist At The End Of Time. Released in June, it will star Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Georgia Tennant as Jenny and Colin Baker as the Curator.

The world’s longest-running children’s programme, Blue Peter, partnered with Doctor Who for a 60th anniversary competition. Viewers between the ages of five and 15 – sadly just ruling us out – were encouraged to submit fan art for a chance to win an exclusive behind-the-scenes set tour. The top 500 entries also received a rare, exclusive Doctor Who 60th Blue Peter competition winner’s badge.

As part of the Blue Peter competition, it was announced that there would be a special takeover on CBBC and BBC iPlayer later on this year.
