Tales of the TARDIS is a Doctor Who spin-off series created to celebrate Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary and beyond. The series is exclusively available on the Whoniverse, a new home on BBC iPlayer for all DWU content.

The original six-episode series released on 1 November 2023 consists of six classic Doctor Who serials, with each serial edited together to form a single episode. Newly filmed material with the serials' original cast bookends each episode, with the Doctor and their companions telling tales within "a remembered TARDIS". An additional seventh episode was released on 20 June 2024 as a tie-in between Season 1 finale two-parter The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"] / Empire of Death [+]Loading...["Empire of Death (TV story)"] in light of the revelation of the big bad. Unlike previous instalments, this episode featured "as of 2024"-current cast members rather than the original cast.

The spin-off was executive-produced by current Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies along with Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter, and was written by Davies, Pete McTighe and Phil Ford. Sam Watts, the composer for The Sarah Jane Adventures, returned to score the series.
