Doctor Who Confidential: Difference between revisions

== History ==

The one-shot documentary ''[[Doctor Who: A New Dimension]]'', broadcast on [[BBC One]] before the premiere of ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' on [[26 March (releases)|26 March]] [[2005 (releases)|2005]], is considered a precursor to ''Doctor Who Confidential;'' the programme proper, however, began later that evening with the episode ''[[Bringing Back the Doctor]]'' airing on [[BBC Three]] immediately after ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]''.

== ''Cut Down'' ==

Most episodes of ''Confidential'' were later re-edited into a version called ''Confidential Cut Down'', chiefly for the purposes of inclusion on each series' DVD boxed sets. These versions had most licenced music removed, as well as clips and interviews featuring the first eight [[Doctor]]s. These versions ran approximately 10-15 minutes and were often used for the repeat broadcasts on BBC Three. (The Series 1-6 box sets group the ''Confidential Cut Downs'' together on one disc.)

One special episode of ''Confidential'', "[[Music and Monsters]]", looked at the making of the November 2006 "Doctor Who: A Celebration" charity concert. It was the first and for several years the only ''Confidential'' episode released in its entirety on DVD.

An instalment of ''Confidential'' was produced to coincide with the 2008 [[Christmas special]], ''[[The Next Doctor]]'', followed by a second non-episode-based instalment of ''Confidential'' on [[3 January (releases)|3 January]] [[2009 (releases)|2009]], during which [[Matt Smith]] was announced as the [[Eleventh Doctor]].
