Overview
Third Series Renewal
The third season of Doctor Who: Adventures was initially commissioned for a run of twenty episodes, unlike the previous two’s ten episode run, however, Mal Young decided to split the series, broadcast wise into two “official” series, making the original twenty episodes, Series 3 and Series 4. Despite this, both series were produced as one by the production team, with the production codes for Series 4 even continuing from ‘311’ to ‘320’.
Expanding the Show
Creatively, Phil Ford was keen, now the show was established, to experiment with the show. He partnered with executives at BBC Bitesize to use the show as a platform to cover elements of history and science which was on the school curriculum, so that the show could even be used as a teaching resource in the classroom. This saw the first move away Ford’s initial rules for the series, with the decision being made to begin producing a few pure historicals, for the purpose. In addition, Ford also partnered with the National Autistic Society, the leading charity for autism, to produce a very special episode of the series, which would talk about autism, in an effort to help children with the condition feel more seen and to help other children understand the condition more. The executives at CBBC were very keen for the show to use its platform to explore stories such as these, which effort childrens’ lives.
While the first two series had stuck to the same core group of writers, Ford opened the doors for the third and fourth series to a wider pool for writers, many of whom had never written for Doctor Who before.
Most of the team who worked on the first two series remained onboard, with little changes occurring. On screen, the same look and feel remained for the programme.
