Dr Who is set to make a return to the BBC – but not for another two years. The show’s creators say the series is in the early stages of development and details of who will play the Time Lord will not be available for some time.
The new series will be written by Russell T Davies, creator of the Channel 4 drama Queer As Folk and the acclaimed ITV drama Second Coming.
Cool. Like most Americans, my exposure to the Doctor was mostly to Tom Baker’s long-scarfed incarnation, some bodies ago. And Jon Pertwee, too, of course, his predecessor. It was always a slightly-cheesy-but-usually-entertaining pleasure.
