With the 60th anniversary fast approaching, Doctor Who<\/a> has confirmed two new radio programmes looking back at the show\u2019s history \u2013 with some very special guests set to feature.<\/p>\n

First up, on Sunday 19th November at 4:30pm, BBC Radio 4 will air Doctor Who: The Wilderness Years, a half-hour programme presented by Matthew Sweet which will look at the period between 1989 and 2005, when the show was off the air.<\/p>\n

The Wilderness Years will dive into the show\u2019s cancellation, the fan campaigns to bring it back, the advent of new novels, animations, computer games and more, and, finally, its revival by Russell T Davies.<\/p>\n

This will be followed on Friday 24th November at 9pm by Doctor Who: 60 Years of Friends and Foes, an hour-long programme presented by Sue Perkins which will feature a host of special guests.<\/p>\n
