The Ninth Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston is to return in a brand new comic series by Titan, due to hit the book shelves next March.

The five-part mini-series will mark the tenth anniversary of Doctor Who coming back to television. This will be the fourth Doctor Titan have published comics for. The writer of the comic series is Cavan Scott who previously co-wrote Who-ology and Wit, Wisdom and Timey Wimey Stuff.

Cavan Scott has confirmed the comic series is to take place after Rose and feature Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and Rose Tyler (Billie Piper). The first issue is to be released in February.

As one of the highest rated shows on television today, and with four (or five!) new Doctors under its belt, it's perhaps hard to imagine a time when Doctor Who was simply one of the thousands of series that had once flourished but ultimately been consigned to the great script book in the sky. But in the mid 2000s this was how the series was regarded by many, and the brave effort by the BBC to bring it back exactly nine years ago was very much a gamble - how would the 'old-school' fans receive it, and what would a 'modern' audience make of a time-traveller in a police box?

Of course, Doctor Who did have an advantage in that it was a show that was still remembered outside of its core fan base, the general public at large were aware of "Dr Who", his iconic TARDIS, and the Daleks. This helped to lend a sense of curiosity at what the new face behind the show, celebrated writer Russell T Davies, would do with the Doctor, who would be played by an established television and film actor in the form of Christopher Eccleston, not to mention the inclusion of the press-attraction of former teenage pop-star turned actress Billie Piper.

A teaser trailer on New Year's Day 2005 formally introduced the return to the general public, but it wasn't until March when the promotional gears were turned up to maximum with a host of trailers ("Do you want to come with me?") and programmes to build up interest in a way not witnessed again until the 50th Anniversary last year.

The three principal names appeared on a variety of news and magazine programmes in the lead-up to the premiere: Christopher Eccleston was a guest on the ever Who-friendly Blue Peter on the 21st March, and then came face-to-face with 'himself' on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross on the 25th; Billie Piper appeared on Parkinson on the 19th; and Russell "TV" Davies appeared on the Breakfast couch on the 11th, on BBC2 Wales's On Show on the 17th, and with Phil and Fern on This Morning on the 23rd. The press preview on the 8th March was covered widely in the media, and led to recorded interviews with the stars popping up on Breakfast and GMTV during that week. Special programmes during the period included: Matthew Sweet looking forward with a little trepidation on how the show's return would fit in culturally on The Culture Show on the 17th; Ian Rankin, Bonnie Greer and Professor John Carey discussing the series' merits on Newsnight Review on the 18th; and BBC Radio 2 presenting Project: Who? on the 22nd. Doctor Who wasn't the only programme on the way - Doctor Who Confidential was also to premiere at the weekend on BBC Three, and executive producer Mark Cossey chatted to Rufus Hound on the channel's Destination Three about what to expect from the behind-the-scenes series.


Then, suddenly, it's the 26th March. As the early evening inexorably approaches, appetites are whetted with a special preview (and countdown) in A New Dimension, an excruciating wait through Graham Norton's Strictly Dance Fever ... and then, at 7:00pm, the BBC One "Tap Dogs" ident commences, with the announcement fans have been waiting over fifteen years for:

45 minutes later and an unprecedented ten million viewers - and 43.2% of the audience - have watched Rose run to the TARDIS and off into adventures with the Doctor; the final figure rose to 10.81m (44.8%) and achieved seventh place in the TV charts, only beaten by the soap juggernauts Coronation Street and EastEnders. A week later, a further series has been commissioned (not to mention a new Doctor on the cards!), and the longevity of a modern Doctor Who is assured ...

General entertainment channel Watch reaches the Ninth and Tenth Doctors' eras this weekend with its UK premiere run of the BBC America celebratory series The Doctors Revisited - and Doctor Who News has been given exclusive clips from both the latest documentaries.

The 11-part series, consisting of 30-minute episodes, features the story behind each Doctor, alongside footage from their era, plus a specially-curated selection of stories, and the next two editions centre on the Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.

See the clips below:


Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited - The Ninth Doctor airs on Saturday 9th November at 2pm, followed by the episodes Bad Wolf at 2.30pm and The Parting of the Ways at 3.30pm.

Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited - The Tenth Doctor airs on Sunday 10th November at 2pm, followed by the episodes Silence In The Library at 2.30pm and Forest of the Dead at 3.30pm.
