Doctor Who Attracts Millions
Prime television is thrilled to be bringing Dr Who to New Zealand television screens later this year. Doctor Who's long-awaited return was a ratings success for the BBC, attracting up to 10.5 million viewers in the UK on its premiere night, a 43% share of audience.
Written by Russell T Davies and starring Christopher Eccleston (The Second Coming, Cracker, Elizabeth) and Billie Piper (Canterbury Tales), the series sees Doctor Who, the alien loner and his companion Rose forge a friendship across time and space.
It has been over 40 years since Doctor Who hit television screens. The show promises to deliver all the excitement of good drama, with a hero who never carries a gun. Fans should brace themselves for some exhilarating experiences and deadly confrontations.
According the Daily Mail (UK), Dr Who is “Nothing less than a technical and theatrical triumph”
