Doctor Who’s 60-year journey was launched by producer Verity Lambert; the series, in turn, served as the springboard for her own remarkable career. Since then, a further 12 producers have accepted the unique challenge of steering one of the most demanding programmes on television. The latest Special Edition of Doctor Who Magazine, the issue 63 titled Showrunners, examines what each of these people brought to the role and gains exclusive new insights from their colleagues.
The new issue has been on sale Thursday 16 March 2023, available from selected branches of WH Smith for £8.99.
