Gimme Five

Davison talks Time Crash to Radio Times.

With the TARDIS opening its doors for a very special short adventure in aid of Children In Need next week, Peter Davison has been speaking to Radio Times about his return to Doctor Who on TV.

"The idea of coming back to play the Doctor was mentioned to me casually a few months ago: would I be interested? And I said, 'Yes!' I didn't really have to think about it, partly because it gives me such credibility with my children. They're huge fans of the new show.

"Before it came back, they were huge fans of the old Doctor Who videos they saw of me – but they very quickly changed their allegiance to the new Doctor!"

Peter Davison joins David Tennant for Time Crash on 16 November 2007. More from Peter, plus behind-the-scenes pics, can be found in the new edition of Radio Times.
