  • 06 - this date marks the 15th anniversary of the broadcast of Survival Episode 3, which ended the 1963-89 series. The anniversary comes as production is well underway on the show's long-awaited return to television.

Unknown date

  • Throughout the year there is considerable media coverage and fan speculation surrounding the announced return of Doctor Who to television, especially as production of the first season begins. It is announced that Christopher Eccleston, a noted actor best known for appearances in films such as Elizabeth, Jude and Gone in 60 Seconds, will play the Ninth Doctor. Eyebrows are raised when it is announced that Billie Piper, a well-known pop star of the late 90s/early 2000s, would play the Doctor's new companion, Rose Tyler. It is announced that no crossover with Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor is planned at this point, nor are any other past companions expected to appear in the new series; word soon leaks out that the Daleks would be returning, however. A surprisingly controversial aspect of the new series is the unveiling of a new series logo, which provokes extremely negative response from some fans, with BBC News even reporting that some behind-the-scenes personal had received threats over it.
