Cbbc show Totally Doctor Who has just been added to the Whoniverse on iPlayer and is now available to watch again.
We truly were spoiled with behind the scenes goodies when Russell T Davies relaunched Doctor Who all the way back in 2005. The main attraction was Doctor Who Confidential (which screened on BBC Three after each episode of the show), but younger viewers were treated to Totally Doctor Who as well. Their very own version of the magazine show.
Broadcast alongside series two and three of Doctor Who the Cbbc show was presented by Barney Harwood and Liz Barker in the first series, and the latter was replaced by Kirsten O’Brien in the second series.
It was similar in theme and approach to Blue Peter, on which Barker was also a presenter. It featured regular segments like the Companion Academy, where children competed to win a day on the set of Doctor Who.

Sir Jony Ive, the Apple designer behind products such as the iMac and iPhone, is to be awarded a gold Blue Peter badge in a gadget special of the show this weekend.
Ive, Apple's senior vice president of industrial design, has enjoyed years of design plaudits, earned millions of dollars and was given a Knighthood last year, but he will now get the highest accolade of the long-running BBC show.
London-born Ive, who is apparently a life-long Blue Peter fan, will appear on Blue Peter this Saturday (February 16) accepting his Gold Badge.
Presenter Barney Harwood interviews the softly-spoken Brit about his memories of Blue Peter, including how the show reused old items that people thought were no longer useful.
"I remember very, very vividly a detergent bottle that had been cut and turned upside down, and it made this fantastic paint brush holder that you could put water in," he says in the interview.
