Featured review
Broadcast after the Doctor Who episode of Rose. This was a behind the scenes look at the making of new Doctor Who.
Unusually similar clips had already been shown on a Doctor Who special shown before Rose was broadcast. That was narrated by David Tennant.
So an element of duplication between both shows. The first series of Confidential was narrated by Simon Pegg who would also guest star in the first series.
It flits through the previous Doctors, going through the concept of regeneration.
More interesting was looking at the new people involved with Doctor Who. Talking to Russell T Davies, the various heads of BBC departments (all female) as well as Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper.
RTD is full of enthusiasm. More important was hearing Eccleston's approach to the role. Few people knew at the time that he had already quit the role and there would be no second season with him.
So it is fascinating to hear his words. There would be bad blood for some years after as to what disagreements he had with the producers of the show.
