Doctor Who Confidential axed

Doctor Who Confidential has been axed by BBC Three. The behind-the-scenes series will have its last episode this Saturday.

BBC Three has axed behind-the-scenes series Doctor Who Confidential after six years on the air.

The series began in 2005 as a companion to the BBC One series but has now been cancelled by the broadcaster.

The BBC budget cuts are said to the reasoning behind the axing, with BBC Three controller Zai Bennett apparently keen to focus on investing in original commissions.

A BBC spokesperson said in a statement: “Doctor Who Confidential has been a great show for BBC Three over the years, but our priority now is to build on original British commissions, unique to the channel.”

The last show will be this Saturday.
