He’s got a point. Doctor Who hasn’t lacked for anniversary celebrations of late. The 60th in November 2023 came in alarmingly hot pursuit of the 50th in November 2013. (Apparently there was an entire decade between them but where’s the proof? It felt like… five minutes.)
And just before the diamond celebration, there was a whole 100-years-of-the-BBC hoopla complete with a multi-Doctor(ish) story and special episodes of Blue Peter and The Repair Shop.
Really, for anybody who’s keeping track, there must be a Doctor Who anniversary to celebrate on any given day of the year. To mark it all would be madness, and so showrunner Russell T Davies makes perfect sense when he says that 2025 won’t have a special to mark two decades since the show’s 2005 revival.
Writing in March 2024 in Doctor Who Magazine 602, Davies explained:

BBC Making Sarah Everard Documentary
The BBC is making a documentary about the investigation into the tragic murder of Sarah Everard, which led to a major reckoning over misogyny and bad behavior in London’s Metropolitan police force. Sarah Everard: The Search For Justice looks into Everard’s murder, how the devastating crime unfolded and its impact. Everard was killed by a serving police officer, Wayne Couzens, who abducted her as she walked home in March 2021, and this became a watershed moment for the nation. There were mass protests against male violence towards women and the narrative of ‘one bad apple’ in the police force was destroyed. The force was placed in special measures and a major review of the Met Police found a culture of denial, widespread bullying, discrimination, institutional homophobia, misogyny and racism. BBC Studios is behind the single doc, which is being EP-d by Emily Lawson and Kirsty Cunningham.

A guest onThe Repair Shop was moved to tears during last night’s episode (22 March), after a painting that her family had hidden from the Nazis was restored.
In one of the most moving moments in the show’s six-year history, painting conservator Lucia Scalisi was presented with a 19th century artwork of the Madonna and Child, which guest Maria Kirk explained had an extraordinary story behind it.
Kirk told Scalisi that the painting had belonged to her grandfather, a Ukrainian Catholic priest, who had been given the piece by his father when he was ordained.
It had been on display in his church in the village of Skowiatyn, Western Ukraine, until the outbreak of the Second World War, when Kirk’s mother, aunt and grandmother fled.

Florence Pugh has released her first music as a singer-songwriter – the songs “I Hate Myself” and “The Best Part”.
The tracks are included on the soundtrack to her new film A Good Person, a drama written and directed by her ex-partner, Zach Braff.
“I wrote these songs for my character Allison in the movie to perform, but also as a way to process and digest her mindset and her low headspace,” Pugh explained, per Total Entertainment.
“It was unbelievably helpful and hard; I wanted a song to reflect the self-hatred she had for herself in a way that the audience can truly understand.”
“The Best Part” is an ambient release featuring apologies for a “weak heart”
On “I Hate Myself”, against a mournful piano tune, Pugh sings: “And I want days of pain/ Oh, to feel the things I need/ To pay off this shame/ And I know that makes...

Richard Osman has criticised the Baftas for nominating just three shows in the Best Daytime category at this year’s TV awards.
On Wednesday (22 March) morning, the awards were announced for this year’s celebration of the best in British television. You can read the full list of nominees here.
Up for the gong of Best Daytime show are quiz show The Chase, BBC centenary special The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit, and Rav Wilding’s Scam Interceptors.
However, on Twitter, Pointless creator Osman accused the TV industry of “snobbish” behaviour in failure to nominate four shows.
“Daytime TV punches far above its weight in terms of ratings, cost & popularity,” he tweeted.
“To have only 2 daytime shows on this list is a bit of a kick in the teeth for producers. If I made Bridge Of Lies, [Homes Under the Hammer], Come Dine [With Me], Lingo etc I think I’d feel robbed.

Kathy Burke has hit out at Jeremy Clarkson after the former Top Gear presenter came under fire for vitriolic remarks about Meghan Markle.
In a newspaper column this week, Clarkson wrote that he despises the Duchess of Sussex “on a cellular level” and dreams of people throwing “excrement” at her in the street.
He also said he hated Markle, “not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West”, but on a “cellular level”.
Clarkson’s comments, written in The Sun on Friday 16 December in response to the Harry and Meghan documentary on Netflix, were widely condemned as “vile and disgusting”.
Now, comedian and actor Burke has weighed in, tweeting on Sunday 18 December: “Watched the rest of #HarryandMeganNetflix. Still think they’re pretty great and I love their relationship with Meghan’s gorgeous mum, Doria.
“Wishing them continued happiness and people like that colossal c*** Clarkson continued pain with the thought of it.

Jay Blades has said that he’s been “getting a lot of grief” after touching King Charles III during a special episode of The Repair Shop.
During The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit, which also celebrated the BBC’s centenary when it aired in October, the then Prince of Wales’s bracket clock and a piece made for Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee by British ceramics maker Wemyss Ware were fixed.
Some have apparently complained that the presenter broke royal protocol by touching Charles.
In the one-off programme, Blades greeted the 74-year-old with a cup of Earl Grey tea, presenting it in an Hrh mug and putting his hand on Charles’s arm.
Moments later, Charles returned the gesture by placing a hand on Blades’s back.
Blades told The Times in a new interview: “Well, there was plenty of royal security there to say don’t touch the geezer,...

Viewers of The Repair Shop are commending the unexpected double act of King Charles III and Jay Blades.
King Charles recorded an appearance on the BBC series before his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in October, back when he was Prince of Wales.
Billed as “a special episode to mark the BBC’s centenary”, the hour-long outing saw Blades meet with then Prince Charles to restore two historic items.
Viewers were left impressed by his appearance, with many praising future King’s comments on vocational skills and the importance of apprenticeships, as well as his general chemistry with Blades.
“Watch out Ant & Dec,” one viewer wrote on Twitter, adding: “What a great double act these two are.”
Another commented: “How relaxed Jay Blades and Prince Charles seen in each other’s company, obviously a genuine shared love of craftsmanship showing.”

I wondered what might happen when the brilliant artisans of BBC One’s The Repair Shop were confronted with a slightly weary but classic piece of mid-20th-century British craftsmanship, foxed round the edges, slightly stooped, the hands strangely bloated, and the head desperately clinging onto the few strands of the hair still remaining. Yet this unique national treasure, with all of his famous provenance, finds himself in good care. Yes, His Majesty King Charles III, now approaching his 74th year and never seriously refurbished despite some rough treatment, is handled with chummy deference by the programme’s stars, presenter Jay Blades, ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay, horologist Steve Fletcher, and furniture restorer Will Kirk. And equal solicitude is applied, to the obvious delight of the then Prince of Wales, to the bric-a-brac he’s asked them to do up.
So, presumably on the understanding it is all done free of charge,...

King Charles III is shown overseeing the repair of his Victorian clock in preview of a special episode of The Repair Shop.
The episode, The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit, will air at 8pm this evening (26 October) on BBC One and was filmed while the King was still the Prince of Wales.
In the episode, the King needs help fixing a bracket clock and a Wemyss Ware piece which were made for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.
In previews from the episode he tells presenter Jay Blades that the damaged piece fell over after someone opened a window, joking: “They didn’t own up.”
Experts who overlooked the restoration of the clock include ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay, horologist Steve Fletcher, and furniture restorer Will Kirk.
In the preview, before the clock is revealed, the King is seen asking the crew: “Have you sorted this? The suspense is killing me!”

King Charles III will appear in an episode of BBC One’s The Repair Shop programme to celebrate 100 years of the broadcasting service.
The show provides a “heartwarming antidote to throwaway culture” by encouraging members of the public to bring family heirlooms in need of repairs.
In this special episode set in Ayrshire in Scotland, the King meets the show’s host Jay Blades – who was recently given an MBE by the King – for a tour of Dumfries House. The episode was filmed in the autumn of last year, when the King was then the Prince of Wales.
Dumfries is owned by the King’s foundation, which runs a programme teaching traditional skills such as wood carving.

Dame Judi Dench has said having her late husband’s pocketwatch fixed on The Repair Shop was “more than she could possibly hope for”.
The veteran actress had the sentimental item mended as part of a special live session of the BBC One programme held at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday (24 August).
The Repair Shop is a BBC programme in which a team of craftspeople work to restore special items for their owners.
During the session at the annual TV event, a video was played showing Dench presenting The Repair Shop team with the pocketwatch, which she had given to her late husband, actor Michael Williams, in 1972.
Dench told presenter and furniture restorer Jay Blades that she had given Williams the watch one year after they married while they were starring in a play together, adding that he had used it during the production.

High-end wildlife programming – shows like Planet Earth and Blue Planet – used to be the preserve of the BBC and a handful of cable networks such as Discovery and Nat Geo.
Then the streamers moved in with the likes of Netflix and Apple TV+ looking for their own David Attenborough (or Attenborough himself).
Now it’s the turn of the U.S. broadcast networks, which have been dipping their toe into the water.
It comes as networks such as ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC look to diversify their non-scripted slates with the added introduction of softer, factual entertainment formats that might not be quite as noisy as a Voice or a Masked Singer but can often have a stickier long-tail.
Last January, NBC made a headline-grabbing announcement that it had ordered ten-part series – The Americas – from the BBC’s Natural History Unit.

A renewed emphasis on lifestyle content will shape Foxtel’s program line-up for the year ahead, with the company announcing a mix of new and returning locally commissioned series going into production.
Pre-production has already begun fresh formats Selling In The City and The Repair Shop, as well as the next chapter in the Find Me… series, Find My Dream Home, and Selling Houses Australia.
A spin off from Selling Houses, Selling In the City is a younger, more millennial-skewed brand, with a focus on getting into, and moving up, the property ladder.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to throwaway culture, with each episode following a team of passionate and skilled craftspeople who rescue damaged objects from heirlooms to prized antiques to restore them to their former glory.
Both shows are being developed through Warner Bros International Television Production, which has also come on as a production partner in Selling Houses Australia.

BBC content director Charlotte Moore has warned that unless diversity is prioritized in the UK TV industry, the sector will not survive.
Speaking today at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Moore unveiled new programs including an investigation into the impact of race on coronavirus by actor David Harewood and a spin off of World On Fire writer Peter Bowker’s hit series The A Word written by disabled writers. These shows will be among those to spearhead BBC1’s line-up next season.
Moore also highlighted Mangrove, the first film in Steve Macqueen’s series Small Axe, which will air this autumn.
She said globally diversity was now recognized as a key issue for the industry, explaining: “The commitment is there because I think not only creatively is it the best thing to do but business-wise, the whole business will benefit from this because that’s what the audience wants to watch.
