Tales of the TARDIS is a Doctor Who spin-off series created to celebrate Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary. The series is exclusively available on the Whoniverse, a new home on BBC iPlayer for all DWU content.
The six-episode series consists of six classic Doctor Who serials, with each serial edited together to form a single episode. Newly filmed material with the serial's original cast bookends each episode, with the Doctor and their companions telling tales within "a remembered TARDIS".
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.
