More 60th Events (& Possible Broadcast Dates)


A couple more dates for the diary.
The recent 60th Anniversary concert is available on BBC Sounds (Radio 2) for those who can access it. I listened to it on Sunday and was most impressed. It included material from the classic era as well as the new main theme, Ruby's theme, and the Fifteenth Doctor's theme. I didn't take to Ruby's but Fifteen's is great.
A two-part radio documentary on the same station was due to start last weekend but has been postponed. Presumably this is the remove any soundbites from An Unearthly Child (the saga around which continues, and shows no sign of ever being resolved under the current copyright holder).
When it does get broadcast, part one of the radio documentary will cover the classic era, with part two covering the revival.
Wednesday November 1st sees a new 60 minute TV documentary on the series narrated by David Tennant. It will be broadcast on BBC Four.
Saturday December 9th sees an on-line event from London. It's called "Beyond the Screen" and comes in the form of a Q&A panel of people associated with the show in various capacities. You can view it on Twitch or on the Doctor Who YouTube channel. The audience is invite only, but there is a competition to win an invite on the official DW website.

Latest word (from a supposedly reliable source) is that The Star Beast will premiere on Saturday 25th November, with the other Specials following on 2nd and 9th December.
