Creating a weekly YouTube show for Doctor Who

Scroll ↓

Doctor Who: The Fan Show (2015-2018) was a weekly YouTube series created by BBC Studios to celebrate fans around the globe and drive online conversation about Doctor Who after episodes air on TV.

In 2015, I was headhunted by the BBC due to my FiveWhoFans YouTube videos. I hosted the show and was also involved with scriptwriting, editing and finding contributors.

The Fan Show became a live aftershow in 2017, with an audience in the hundreds of thousands.

During my time at the BBC, I was also involved in hosting several live events including a Q&A with Steven Moffat for BBC One, a promotional event with Russell T Davies for BBC Books, and a panel at Doctor Who conference Gallifrey One in Los Angeles to an audience of around 3000 people.
