He was not originally cast in the production, but Tennant happened to be recording a ''Rumpole of the Bailey'' radio play in a neighbouring studio. When he discovered what was being recorded next door, he convinced the director to give him a small role.

It was originally posted in six weekly parts from [[13 November (releases)|13 November]] to [[18 December (releases)|18 December]] 2003 on BBCi's ''Doctor Who'' [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shalka/ website]. Although it was intended to be an "official" continuation of the television series that had ended in 1989, the revival of the programme in 2005 relegated it and the Richard E Grant's Ninth Doctor, to non-[[canon]]ical status. | ||

This story was the first-ever officially licensed fully animated ''Doctor Who'' story. ''Doctor Who'' had suspended production in 1989, Aside from charity specials, it had only resurfaced as an American-funded [[Doctor Who (1996)|television movie]] in 1996 which didn't garner enough ratings to go to a regular series. When ''Shalka'' was announced in July 2003 for broadcast in November, the possibility of ''Doctor Who'' returning to television screens still seemed remote and BBC Worldwide were shopping around for another possible movie deal. As a result, BBCi announced, with BBC approval, that the Doctor appearing in ''Shalka'' would be the "official" Ninth Doctor. However, events rapidly overtook this. | ||

After the web cast, in February 2004, plans for sequels were indefinitely shelved. For a period, it was unclear if the new television Doctor would be the Ninth or Tenth Doctor, but this was settled in April 2004 when in an interview with ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', Davies announced that the new television Doctor (played by [[Christopher Eccleston]]), would be ''the'' [[Ninth Doctor]], relegating the Richard E Grant Doctor to unofficial status. | ||
