Doctor Who: The Time Meddlers was a Doctor Who television spinoff comedy series. It was produced by WhoStudios for BBC Three and Paramount+. It featured Jo Brand, reprising her role as the The Monk, alongside Ray Fearon, Sally Bretton, Adrian Lukis and Nina Wadia.
Origins
The series was announced in January 2022, as a new Doctor Who spinoff for BBC Three created by Ronald D. Moore. Moore was approached in October 2021, during the production of The Daleks’ Master Plan about creating a Doctor Who series for the newly relaunched BBC Three channel. BBC Three is a channel aimed at 18-34 year olds, in the UK, which focuses on comedy and drama, and is often less mainstream than its sister channels.
While Ronald D. Moore created the show, he turned down the offer to showrun it, past the pilot, with it being announced in March 2022 that, former script editor, and comedy writer, Steven Moffat will instead be taking up the job.
The main star of the show, was announced as Jo Brand, who plays the Monk, a role she stepped into, during The Daleks’ Master Plan. Brand is an actor and comedian, much like her predecessors in the role, and heralds from Clapham.
