Production[edit]
Development[edit]
Tales of the TARDIS was announced on 30 October 2023.[13][14][15] An additional episode was announced on 17 June 2024.[16][17]
The set was originally created for the series 14 episode "Empire of Death". Russell T Davies originally intended on having the set destroyed after it transported the Doctor, Ruby, and Mel to 2046. This idea was scrapped due to the special effects already planned for other parts of the episode. Davies eventually got the idea to re-use the set for Tales of the TARDIS as part of Doctor Who's sixtieth-anniversary celebrations.[18]
Filming[edit]
New material for episodes 1-6 was filmed over six days at Bad Wolf Studios from 25 to 30 September 2023.[6][7]
Release[edit]
Episodes 1-6 were released on BBC iPlayer on 1 November 2023 to coincide with the launch of the Whoniverse.[14] Episode 7 was added on 20 June 2024.[17]
