This text is dummy text which will be taken away eventually. It is necessary to sometimes dump text of a certain length onto a page in order to get the system to realise that a new page has been created. Wikia have been advised of this problem, have admitted that it needs to be fixed, but yet have done sweet fanny about it. Consequently, we must sometimes put dummy text onto pages for no good reason. Please do not remove this text, as it won't be here long. Thank you.

* Early 2006 - According to his book, ''[[The Writer's Tale]]'', [[Russell T Davies]], [[David Tennant]] and others involved in ''Doctor Who'', following production of ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'', agreed that after the [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|fourth series]] the program would be rested for a year, except for the occasional special.

2006 was a year in which a number of events important to the production of Doctor Who and its spin-offs occurred.

Unknown Dates

  • Early 2006 - According to his book, The Writer's Tale, Russell T Davies, David Tennant and others involved in Doctor Who, following production of Doomsday, agreed that after the fourth series the program would be rested for a year, except for the occasional special. This idea evolved into the 2009 Specials season and dovetailed with the eventual departures of Davies and Tennant from the series.
  • Early 2006 - The American network Sci-Fi Channel announced it had bought the rights to air the new version of Doctor Who. The first series aired beginning in March 2006, a year after their UK and Canadian broadcasts, and the network had the option of airing Series 2 as well.
