I\u2019m not going to unwrite my good friend Chris Chibnall\u2019s work on The Timeless Children. I\u2019m not going to deny what he wrote. I\u2019m going with it. It\u2019s absolutely fine.\u201d<\/p>\n Instead, Davies and the BBC are currently celebrating the history of Doctor Who with the \u201cWhoniverse\u201d being brought to BBC iPlayer \u2013 including more than 800 episodes of Doctor Who and new spin-off series Tales of the TARDIS<\/a>, which brings back classic Doctors and companions.<\/p> Davies said: \u201cThe word Whoniverse was invented by fans, so it\u2019s time to give it official status.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Tales of the TARDIS is one of the greatest delights of my career \u2013 to see old Doctors and companions reunited, still fighting the good fight, is a perfect way to celebrate the Doctor\u2019s 60th birthday!\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Dan McGolpin, director of iPlayer and channels, added: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to welcome Tales of the TARDIS exclusively to BBC iPlayer, the home of Doctor Who, which is consistently one of our most popular programmes every single week of the year.<\/p>\n \u201cTales of the TARDIS will sit within The Whoniverse and features brand new and incredibly moving scenes with well-loved characters; it will be a fantastic starting point for a new generation to discover some of the most classic episodes, and a joyous way for longstanding fans to catch up with old friends.\u201d<\/p>\n The new issue of SFX magazine is on sale now.<\/strong><\/p>\n Doctor Who is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
