Doctor Who: Unleashed is a documentary television programme that takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Doctor Who. It is available on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Doctor Who: Unleashed was announced on 27 September 2023,[1] and is a tie-in behind-the-scenes series to be released on immediately after each episode of Doctor Who starting with the Fourteenth Doctor's first televised story, The Star Beast. Each episode is thirty-minutes long and it is produced by Bright Branch Media for BBC Studios.
Preceding the main episodes, a 10-minute extra episode was released on 17 November 2023 to give a behind-the-scenes look at the Children in Need special Destination: Skaro.
Unlike previous televised behind-the-scenes tie-ins, Unleashed is presenter-led, a role undertaken by Steffan Powell.
