Russell T Davies has given Doctor Who fans some reassurance following news that Disney will be involved in the forthcoming series.
Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa will be making his debut as the 14th Doctor from the 2023 festive period, succeeding David Tennant who will return as the Time Lord for three episodes in November.
Showrunner Davies, who was responsible for reviving the BBC sci-fi series in 2005, will also return as head writer for the forthcoming 60th anniversary specials and 14th season.
In a recent interview with Doctor Who magazine, Davies addressed Disney’s involvement in the forthcoming season.
In October, it was announced that season 14 would be a co-production with Disney Plus. The streaming service has acquired the international rights to the show.
Any fans concerned that the American streamer’s involvement will have an impact on the show’s content have nothing to worry about, according to Davies.

Andrew counts down Doctor Who's top 10 Dalek stories, from Invasion Earth to The Power of the Daleks...
A cosmos without the Daleks scarcely bears thinking about.
Without the mutated remnants of the seemingly indestructible planet Skaro, we don't know if Doctor Who would have survived. If Terry Nation had dreamt up the Voord to menace Barbara in the series fifth episode, Den of Geek may well be paying tribute to Doctor Who as an obscure cult concern, cherished by a few but forgotten by many. Instead, we do things like this.
This list is not limited to the television series, because Doctor Who isn't limited to the television series. And hey, why not use our Comments Section to add your own list or express disbelief that I've not included Evil of the Daleks in mine?

I Claudius. Acorn media
Written by Kieran Kinsella
In a list compiled by the British Film Institute of the 100 greatest British TV shows of all time, I Claudius ranked 12th. Earlier this year The Guardian newspaper chose I Claudius as the best British TV costume drama of all time and if that wasn’t enough the Roman era drama also won three BAFTA’s and an Emmy when it was originally broadcast no less than 35 years ago. Needless to say, Acorn Media’s March release of the complete series is likely to cause quite a stir.
Before I get into the mechanics of the story let me begin by talking a little about the cast. Cadfael star Derek Jacobi takes on the title role and performs brilliantly as both the young stuttering Claudius and the aged man reflecting on his life. His deranged predecessor Caligula is played by 1984 star John Hurt...
