'David Tennant will front a BBC4 documentary delving into classic Doctor Who ahead of the sci-fi's 60th anniversary.

Talking Doctor Who will see Tennant, who played the Tenth Doctor and who is now returning as the Fourteenth Doctor for the upcoming 60th anniversary specials, travel back through the BBC archives to tell the story of the classic era of Doctor Who.

The documentary will also include archive interviews from past Doctors, including the late William Hartnell, who played the First Doctor, through to Sylvester McCoy, who played the Seventh Doctor.

Tennant will also share some insights into what it's like to be the Time Lord and how his experiences compare to his predecessors.

The hour-long programme is set to air on Wednesday 1st November.

It was recently revealed that much of Doctor Who's classic series will be coming to BBC iPlayer for the first time in celebration of the show's 60th anniversary.

More than 800 episodes will be available on iPlayer from 1st November - however, the BBC recently confirmed that the back catalogue won't include the very first story, An Unearthly Child, due to a rights issue.

A spokesperson for the BBC said: "This massive iPlayer back catalogue will be home to over 800 hours of Doctor Who content, making it the biggest ever collection of Doctor Who programming in one place but will not include the first four episodes as we do not have all the rights to those."

Returning showrunner Russell T Davies had previously said: "I'd like to thank the BBC for all the hard work to get this massive back catalogue under one roof, at long last.

"I'm so excited for new viewers – imagine being eight years old, spending winter afternoons exploring the '60s, '70s, '80s and beyond. And we're determined this won't be a dusty museum – we have exciting plans to bring the back catalogue to life, with much more to be revealed!"'

Frankenstein: The Read with Alex Kingston

Alex Kingston breathes life into Mary Shelley’s gothic masterpiece.

A young and gifted student, Victor Frankenstein, develops a secret technique to “infuse a spark of being” into lifeless matter - but his unorthodox scientific experiment backfires. His Creation is not the perfect specimen he imagines that it will be, but rather a hideous creature who is rejected by Victor and the world at large.

Written more than 200 years ago, and published when Mary Shelley was just 20, the story of Frankenstein and his monster still resonates today: a classic horror story and a tragic romance which examines the battle between ambition and morality.

This performance reading by Bafta-nominated Kingston is an abridgement which preserves the hard-hitting and politically charged aspects of Shelley's original writing, as well as her unflinching wit and strong female voice.

A Rural Studios production for BBC Four and BBC iPlayer. It is directed by Rachel Lambert, produced by Julie Colman. The Executive Producer is Grant Black and the commissioner for BBC Arts is Stephen James-Yeoman.

BBC Four on 3 March at 7.55pm to 9pm

A new one-man play starring Toby Stephens, directed by Trevor Nunn and written by Stuart Patterson, which finds Oscar Wilde in Reading Gaol in 1896, condemned to solitary confinement because of his sexual identity.

He begins a conversation with himself, sometime as torturer, sometimes as comforter. Together the pair wrestle with the humiliation of his fall from celebrity to convict, because he loved another man.

Prisoner C33 was commissioned by Emma Cahusac for BBC Arts and BBC Four. It was directed by Trevor Nunn and written by Stuart Paterson. The executive producer is Sally Angel and the producer is Andrew Fettis.

Channel: BBC FOUR

Date: Sunday, 1 May, 2022

BBC iPlayer - A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story

I recommend this play of A Christmas Carol, performed last year at Ally Pally, adapted by and starring Mark Gatiss, with a great turn by Nicholas Farrell as Scrooge and the lovely Joe Shire as Fezziwig and Christmas Present.
