Publisher summary Edit

In 2005, after sixteen years off-air, Doctor Who returned to BBC television - and soon became more popular than ever before. In this special anthology of clips and interviews, Elisabeth Sladen journeys back to the recent past to delve into the show's dazzling success. With the help of extracts from radio programmes as diverse as Go For It, Jo Whiley, PM, Newsbeat and The Now Show, she explores the run-up to the launch of Series 1 and follows the programme's progress right up to 2009, with the announcement of the impending departure of David Tennant and the casting of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. Featuring the voices of David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Billie Piper, Christopher Eccleston, Kylie Minogue, Freema Agyeman, Russell T Davies and many others, this is an absorbing retrospective look at how Doctor Who returned to our screens to capture the hearts of millions of fans.

Notes Edit

• This release resumed the documentary series after a two-year hiatus.
• Like the previous release (Doctor Who at the BBC: The Tenth Doctor), A Legend Reborn focuses on the revival of the series, up to the casting of the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith.
• Elisabeth Sladen returns to narrate the 2-CD release, which was originally scheduled for issue in November 2009 but later rescheduled to 21 January 2010.
• The above is a listing of the tracks included in the January 2010 release.
• Although the disc was issued on 21st January, BBC Audio was forced to immediately recall it due to clearance issues regarding some material. An edited version of the CD is now tentative scheduled for 11 February 2010. However, according to the Doctor Who News Page an unknown number of unedited copies were purchased on 21 January before the recall.[1]
