For years, Doctor Who has been providing top-level in-vision commentaries for selected episodes, on DVD. But we’re now bringing this to the iPlayer – as soon as you’ve watched The Star Beast, you can see exactly what David Tennant thinks of it, scene by scene! I think Doctor Who has the greatest behind-the-scenes coverage of any show in the world, and we’re determined to keep expanding it!

— Russell T Davies, Showrunner
