BBC3’s Doctor Who companion show, Doctor Who Confidential, is to be axed, RadioTimes.com can confirm.
The behind-the-scenes programme, which details the making of Doctor Who and features interviews with key cast and crew, has been a staple of the BBC3 schedule since 2005.
It is understood that the current series of Doctor Who Confidential will be its last.
The programme joins a long list of established BBC3 series like Ideal, Hotter Than My Daughter and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, which have all been axed since the appointment of BBC3 controller Zai Bennett in December 2010.
A BBC spokeswoman said: The Doctor Who spin-off series, Doctor Who Confidential, has been a great show for BBC3 over the years, but our priority now is to build on original British commissions, unique to the channel.
I am absolutely furious about this and have complained. The link is here if anyone else wishes to complain http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/
