Well, Steven Moffat already promised us more online content and now we have an announcement regarding Doctor Who: Extra. It is going to be a ‘companion’ show that will be ten minutes in length and be available each Saturday after the broadcast of the featured episode. But it isn’t just going to be a making of type show. According to the Gallifrey Gazette:

Casual viewers will enjoy the fun, fast pace and lighter side of Doctor Who Extra but there’s plenty for fans, too, as we take a quick dip into the archive for every edition, reflecting on how Doctor Who’s history is echoed in this current series.

It sounds pretty awesome to me. I can’t wait to see how/if they tie any of the new episodes in with classic series episodes!

On the other hand, the Radio Times has an editorial regarding the length of Doctor Who: Extra.

However good it might be  and sources close to the show assure me the team have spent a great deal of time and effort getting it right – it still won’t be the full-fat Confidential-style show that fans crave (and that was voted the best ever BBC3 show in a 2011 RadioTimes.com poll).
