Doctor Who Revival 10th Anniversary 2005 - 2015
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! Saturday 26th March, 2005. This date saw the Revival of Doctor Who after it's absence for 16 years when it got cancelled. 10 years on and it's still running. In this time we are on our 4th (well 12th) Doctor. But there has been other faces as well including The War Doctor and the Meta Crisis Doctor. But lets keep it simple with numbers. In 2005 writer Russell T Davis brought back the show featuring the 9th Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston. Russell then went on in the show and wrote stories for the 10th Doctor played by David Tennant. In 2010 Russell and David Tennant left the show. That means a new Head Writer is required and a new Doctor was needed. Not to worry as Steven Moffat took over as being Head Writer and the one and only Matt Smith took up the role as the 11th Doctor. Matt played the Doctor until 2013 when we saw his regeneration's (yes there was 2. Find out later on). That's when Peter Capaldi took over as the 12th Doctor. Capaldi is still our Doctor today! In these 10 years the Doctor has had 18 companions. One of them is still with us to date. Find out about these amazing Doctors and their companions below in the 10th Anniversary Timeline.
