BBC To Mark Doctor Who’s 61st Anniversary with Unseen Material
Previously unseen moments from the 2024 season of Doctor Who will be here on the 23rd of November.
The BBC have teased that Doctor Who’s 61st Anniversary celebration won’t go completely without new Who to mark the day. Or, at least, new-ish content. Previously unseen deleted scenes from the 2024 season will be available for the first time on Saturday the 23rd of November. It’s not exactly three brand new specials starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate. But then, 61 is usually a modest home cooked meal and maybe a glass of wine for most people, rather than the giant cake and number shaped balloons of 60. In any event, it’s a fun surprise. Especially when it had previously looked like we’d get no new footage of Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor until Christmas Day.
The team’s social media post also had fun tying into today’s date: the 9th of November 2024 being the date on which Ruby Sunday’s 40 year journey back to the Doctor begins and ends in 73 Yards. For now, we’ll have to wait and see which episodes the upcoming deleted scenes are from.
