The BBC science fiction series is celebrating 20 years since being revived for a new generation.

The pair, who played Amy Pond and Rory Williams opposite Matt Smith, will take in a special episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed.
Joining them will be Ncuti Gatwa, David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker as well as past and present companions Billie Piper, Mandip Gill and Varada Sethu.
Rounding out the line-up are current and former showrunners Steven Moffat, Chris Chibnall and Russell T Davies.
The episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed will land on Saturday June 7 at 6am on BBC iPlayer.
Meanwhile, it will air on BBC One Wales and BBC Three later that day.
Former Sex Education and Barbie star Ncuti, 32, took over as the Doctor in 2023.
Earlier this month, The Sun revealed he will be leaving the BBC show after just two series – with the Time Lord’s regeneration set to take place on May 31.
The star’s Fifteenth Doctor is reportedly set to have a “high-stakes showdown” in his latest season’s finale The Reality War.
It has been suggested that the BBC could put the next series of Doctor Who on pause.
Insiders believe Disney+, which has pumped millions into the production, may not renew its deal.
A source said: “It’s unlikely we will see who Ncuti regenerates into as the Beeb will keep options open.
“And if they do rest the show for years, it makes it virtually impossible to cast someone now.”
Doctor Who airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
