All 10 series of Doctor Who since 2005 revival arrive on BBC iPlayer

Doctor Who fans will be able to take a trip back in time through the BBC sci-fi drama's recent history, as every single episode since its 2005 relaunch has been made available on iPlayer.

Jodie Whittaker will play the 13th incarnation of the Time Lord in the new series later this year. She will be the first woman to take on the role.

In preparation, viewers can watch all 10 series and special episodes that have aired since the programme's return to the BBC.

Controller of programming for the BBC Dan McGolpin said: "We're reinventing the BBC for a new generation and BBC iPlayer is key to that.

"Bringing back these series of Doctor Who is just part of our offer this summer, giving viewers the chance to uncover or rediscover the Doctor's previous adventures."

Christopher Eccleston was the first actor to play the show's revived titular character, with his sidekick Rose being portrayed by Billie Piper.

Following Eccleston's departure after one series, David Tennant, Matt Smith, and Peter Capaldi have all gone on to star as the Doctor.

The revamped show has also attracted high-profile stars to make appearances, including Simon Pegg, Sir Derek Jacobi, Kylie Minogue, Andrew Garfield, Felicity Jones and Bill Nighy.

Doctor Who has been one of the BBC's biggest successes in recent years. Ratings for every series from 2005 to 2014 averaged between seven and eight million viewers.

However, figures were down to 5.5 million for Capaldi's last full series in 2017.

Whittaker made her first appearance as the new Doctor in last year's special transformation episode on Christmas Day.

Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall will preside as the new series' showrunner, taking on the mantle from Steven Moffat who was in the role for eight years.

The new series of Doctor Who will air on the BBC in the autumn.

Doctor Who series 8: Hermione Norris to guest star

Former Spooks star Hermione Norris will guest star in Doctor Who.

The BBC has confirmed that Norris will feature in series eight of Doctor Who in an episode that is set in Lanzarote and written by Wallander's Peter Harness

.

Norris is perhaps best known for portraying MI5 agent Ros Myers in the spy drama Spooks, and has had other memorable parts in Wire in the Blood and Cold Feet.

Norris said of appearing in Doctor Who: "It's exciting to be part of such an iconic show, and one that my kids can watch!"

Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat added: "It's a testament to the quality of Peter Harness's intense and emotional script, that we've been able to attract an actress of the brilliance of Hermione Norris. 

"And for the first time since 1984, the Doctor Who production team is heading to Lanzarote. The Doctor is returning to the scene of an old adventure - but there have been sinister changes since his last visit."

The last Doctor Who story set in Lanzarote was 'Planet of Fire', which saw the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison) take on his arch-nemesis The Master (Anthony Ainley). 

Ellis George, Tony Osoba (Revolver) and Phil Nice (Hebburn) will also appear in this new instalment.

Norris joins Tom Riley and Ben Miller as high-profile guest stars for Peter Capaldi's first series as The Doctor.

Keeley Hawes will also be portraying the villainous Ms Delphox in an upcoming episode.

Jamie Mathieson has confirmed that he will be writing a series eight episode as well.

Doctor Who will return to BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US in the autumn.

Doctor Who: Ben Miller to play villain in Mark Gatiss episode

 

Ben Miller is to play a villain on Doctor Who.

Miller will face off against Peter Capaldi's new Doctor in the BBC sci-fi drama's next series.

"As a committed Whovian I cannot believe my luck in joining the Twelfth Doctor for one of his inaugural adventures," the actor and comic said. "My only worry is that they'll make me leave the set when I'm not filming."

Miller will appear in an episode penned by Mark Gatiss, set to air later in 2014.

"Mark Gatiss has written us a storming villain for his new episode," said lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat.

"With Capaldi in the TARDIS, we knew we needed somebody special to send everybody behind the sofa. And quite frankly, it's about time Ben Miller was in Doctor Who!"

48-year-old Miller previously played the lead in BBC One's Death in Paradise and appeared in ITV sci-fi Primeval.

He is also known for his comedy work opposite Alexander Armstrong, who previously appeared in Doctor Who in 2011 and provided voice work for spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Other guest stars joining Miller in the next series of Doctor Who include Tom Riley (Da Vinci's Demons) and Keeley Hawes (Line of Duty).

‘Da Vinci’s Demons’ star Tom Riley joins ‘Doctor Who’ series 8

32 year-old British actor Tom Riley is set to appear in the upcoming eighth series of Doctor Who in an episode written by veteran Who scribe Mark Gatiss.

Riley has previously appeared in detective dramas Lewis and Monroe, St Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold (alongside former Doctor Who star David Tennant), comedy series Twenty Twelve and STARZ’s Da Vinci’s Demons, in which he plays Leonardo Da Vinci.

On the news, Riley tweeted: “Well, that’s out then. I’ve been a massive fan since I was even smaller than Jenna. Very excited. @MarkGatiss’s script is awesome.”

Just as Riley’s exact role remains a mystery, little is known of his episode as a whole although it has been confirmed that Gatiss is writing two episodes for Capaldi’s Doctor. However, Gatiss has clarified that though he has been commissioned for two episodes, “that doesn’t mean they’ll both necessarily be in this season.”

Facts about the new series are slowly coming together. Besides Mark Gatiss, other confirmed writers include Steven Moffat, Stephen Thompson and Phil Ford, while the other big guest name so far announced to be appearing in the series is Keeley Hawes.

Hawes, known for roles in Ashes to Ashes, Upstairs, Downstairs and more recently Line of Duty, is to appear as the villainous Miss Delphox in Phil Ford’s episode for the series. She will be a tough alien businesswoman, described by the BBC as a “powerful out of this world character with a dark secret.”

Doctor Who: Peter Capaldi's first episode thrilling, says Mark Gatiss

Mark Gatiss has promised an "exciting" and "disturbing" debut for Peter Capaldi on Doctor Who.

Speaking to Digital Spy at the London Lesbian & Gay Switchboard 40th Anniversary Gala last night, Gatiss spoke about writing for Doctor Who series eight.

"Peter has a very different energy to Matt Smith and to David Tennant," he said. "He's older which changes everything - it's amazing what a change does!

"Matt was sublime and I was very sorry to see him go, but it's also great to have a change - as it has always been with the Doctor."

Gatiss added that Capaldi's new Doctor brings with him "a whole new set of rules".

"The Doctor's always the Doctor - but you can have a lot of fun playing with people's expectations," he continued. "Everyone knows how the previous Doctor would react in any given situation - and now you just don't know!"

Steven Moffat has written Capaldi's first full Doctor Who episode, which Gatiss described as "thrilling".

The sci-fi drama will return to BBC One later in 2014, with Sherlock's Steve Thompson also among the confirmed writers for the latest run.

Summer Broadcast for Doctor Who Series 8?

Is Series 8 of Doctor Who going to air slightly earlier than originally thought?

Previous reports have pointed to an Autumn air date but Ben Wheatley, director of the first two episodes of Series 8, might have indicated that the show could be back sooner

In a recent interview with Uproxx Wheatley briefly mentions Doctor Who stating:

“I’ve got two more weeks shooting Doctor Who, which hopefully is going to go in July.”

Of course his wording is a little open to interpretation and scheduling frequently changes, but let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.

Doctor Who star Matt Smith: I don't want Capaldi to have Alex Kingston

Doctor Who star Matt Smith has admitted that he is "really possessive" over Alex Kingston's River Song.

Smith told fans at New Orleans Comic Con that he asked showrunner Steven Moffat not to write scenes between River and Peter Capaldi's new Doctor.

"I said this to Steven, I was like, 'Listen, just don't. Just not Alex. Anyone else, but don't give him River' - but Peter is the Doctor now so hey, what can I do?" DoctorWhoTV quotes Smith as saying.

Smith added that he expects Moffat to "reinvent the folklore" of the series during Capaldi's tenure.

"I think that Steven will be planning things that are going to unfold over years," he said. "I think he'll reinvent the folklore, and it will become Peter's folklore.

"But I am really proud of the fact that Alex was part of number Eleven's life. My wife!"
