StevenHOST
That's a good sign that the BBC is going, okay, we care about this show.
StevenHOST
There's a whole extra step from long list to short list that Silent Witness, which is what I compared it to last week, doesn't have because that's more of a continuing show.
StevenHOST
And this is basically a new show
WarrenHOST
called Doctor Who.
WarrenHOST
I mean, it's Silent Witnesses, and this is not meant in a derogatory fashion, a factory.
WarrenHOST
They've been cranking this thing out for almost 30 years.
WarrenHOST
They know what they're doing.
DylanHOST
They're next to each other facing the opposite direction and the director's obviously gone, this is going to look fucking great.
DylanHOST
I've seen it on Silent Witness.
DylanHOST
it's going to look amazing and then they cut to the other angle and they're not in the same positions because they've obviously gone that doesn't work could you turn into her could you turn into him a little bit more
Martin ParsonsGUEST
yeah so then she's sort of half turned towards him as if she just doesn't really care about what he's saying
Alice O'ConnellGUEST
I am a former TV and theatre actress in the UK.
Alice O'ConnellGUEST
I picked up knitting as a way to pass the time on sets like Doctor Who and Jonathan Creek and Silent Witness and so on.
Alice O'ConnellGUEST
And I very quickly started teaching Friends and then it became Friends of Friends.
Alice O'ConnellGUEST
and it just grew and grew and here we are 20 plus years later.
Neil MitchellGUEST
And, you know, she conducts autopsies and works on murders and things like that.
Neil MitchellGUEST
Is it like CSI? Is it like Quincy ME? Is it like Silent Witness? And basically she said,
speaker_14AUDIENCE
no,
Neil MitchellGUEST
not really.
Neil MitchellGUEST
Victoria's the leading most senior pathologist, and we were talking about how real the world of pathology was, and she conducts autopsies and works on murders and things like that.
Neil MitchellGUEST
Is it like CSI? Is it like Quincy ME? Is it like Silent Witness? And basically she said,
PeterAUDIENCE
no,
Neil MitchellGUEST
not really.
November KellyHOST
in ways that didn't really confront the kind of misogyny inherent to that.
November KellyHOST
And then we got this kind of imported horror and we went, "Oh, actually, we quite like the visceral." And downstream of that we got, you know, sort of like Wire in the Blood and Silent Witness and all of this.
LucyHOST
Turns out being murdered, not especially cozy as an experience.
LucyHOST
It's, uh-
Simon WhistlerHOST
They'd be like, this feels like, what's the word? Blasphemy.
Simon WhistlerHOST
We've all seen TV shows like CSI or Silent Witness or some other procedural detective drama.
Simon WhistlerHOST
A quick DNA test should give us everything we need to know.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Except, of course, we can't do that.
Christian CawleyHOST
The invitation to tender document for Doctor Who has been issued by the BBC.
Christian CawleyHOST
Last week there was an invitation to tender document for Silent Witness, and lots of people were looking around going, where's the one for Doctor Who? Well, the invitation to tender document for Doctor Who is now available, and you can read it on the BBC website.
Christian CawleyHOST
There's a link to it on thedoctorwhocompanion.com, but what I was quite interested in was various things in the ITT, as it's called.
Christian CawleyHOST
It is... about doctor who and indicate seriousness on the bbc's part uh the doctor companion tells us it says here james doctor who is one of the most enduring and distinctive brands in global television for over 60 years it has captivated audiences through imaginative storytelling compelling characters ambitious adventures that span all of time and space the series occupies a unique position in popular culture combining entertainment for a broad audience with sophisticated science fiction concepts, emotional depth, humor, and spectacle.
StevenHOST
Our first Miniscope with the most recent series of Doctor Who.
StevenHOST
uh but no longer the most current as of a couple days ago because we're talking tenders baby no no warren this is a guarantee 100 that doctor who is back sure well it's more back than it was how about that it is it is uh the bbc published the uh invitation to tender to produce doctor who uh so there we go it's officially out there everyone um We will do our best not to basically just read out chunks of this thing on the podcast, but to talk about it and all that and the various timelines going on.
StevenHOST
What was handy to me, I thought, before we get into this, is that just last week it was pointed out to me.
StevenHOST
that the BBC also put a tender out for seasons 28 and 29 of Silent Witness.
StevenHOST
But it's different in that that is a continuation of the existing series, basically, that BBC Studios already makes.
StevenHOST
And indeed on that tender it says, we should point out that BBC Studios has already said they are intending to bid for this.
StevenHOST
Whereas Doctor Who is very much a brand new entity in the eyes of this tender.
StevenHOST
So it's just interesting for comparison's sake.
Raymond KowalczykSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And now I can do it for him, for me, for every tightrope rocker, for the town, for the people, for the millennium, for many reasons.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Standing here in the old cathedral ruins and from the Holy Trinity Church Spire, there's just been some red smoke to signify the start of Raymond's dramatic walk.
speaker_18SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And this is incredible.

Emerging from the Holy Trinity Spire about 294 feet high is this white figure with this long pole walking along slowly, picked out by the spotlight.
