This was shown just before the transmission of Rose on BBC1. The first episode of a new Doctor Who series in 16 years. They even had a clock counting down in this.
The series was going to be launched with a blaze of publicity. There were even billboards with Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper.
Yet after the transmission of Rose. The first episode of Doctor Who: Confidential would be broadcast as well which would be about bringing the Doctor back to the screen.
So why the two shows sandwiching the main episode of Doctor Who?
This was narrated by David Tennant. It is a brief rundown on the filming of the new show. It went through the previous actors who played the Doctor. There are interviews from past actors.
It is all fluffy stuff, little would be new to fans of the show. You get to see clips from the new episodes.
What it did was allow David Tennant to visit the Cardiff studios and film the regeneration scene in secret. People thought he was there for the narration.
There is no inkling at the time. When Eccleston was being interviewed here, he was leaving the role after one series.
