As part of the 60th Anniversary celebration of Doctor Who, BBC created a miniseries as a way to entice iPlayer viewers in the UK to watch classic episodes. Called Tales of the TARDIS, classic companions and Doctors reunite for new scenes that reflect on the individual serials. Yet, since showrunner Russell T Davies is eager for a universe of stories, Tales of the TARDIS would make a great Doctor Who anthology series. Though the streaming rights for Doctor Who are more of a mess than the TARDIS after a regeneration, Disney still ponied up some cash for the rights to stream the 60th Anniversary specials and Ncuti Gatwa’s first season of Doctor Who.The rest of the modern era, dating back to Russell T Davies’s first tenure on the show, is streaming on Max for the time being. Meanwhile, the surviving classic Doctor Who serials are streaming on Britbox. Thus, Tales of the TARDIS is not available to watch anywhere legally outside of the United Kingdom. Disney will almost certainly acquire the modern back catalog of episodes when the Max deal expires, but may not necessarily acquire the classic serials. However, they can still offer something to fans of classic Doctors: an anthology series very similar to Tales of the TARDIS. Instead of interstitials shot on one set breaking up classic serials, it could be an entirely new anthology series just featuring classic characters. Rumors abound that Paul McGann’s Eighth Doctor is getting a reprisal, so why not the rest of the pre-Russell T Davies Doctors?An anthology series could do something similar, without needing massive special effects or lots of locations. The “Power of the Doctor” special united past Doctor Who companions in the best way. The “Doctor support group” could be a setting for this new show. The last time a Doctor support group was seen, it was in Season 2, Episode 10 of Doctor Who, “Love and Monsters.” It was one of the episodes shot that barely featured the Doctor and, in this case, Rose Tyler. It proved how only a mention of the Doctor is needed to tell a good Doctor Who story.
