The British cult SF TV series Doctor Who is on its way back to the U.K. airwaves 14 years after it was canceled, the BBC reported. Writer and avowed Who fan Russell T. Davies (Queer as Folk) is behind the revival, the British network reported.
The new Doctor Who will be produced by BBC Wales, whose head of drama Julie Gardner said that the show is in its early stages and likely wouldn't be on screen for at least two years, the BBC reported.
The first Doctor Who, played by William Hartnell, was first seen on Nov. 23, 1963. He was followed by seven more, before the series was axed in 1989, the news service reported.
Davies told the BBC that the new show "will be fun, exciting, contemporary and scary. ... Although I'm only in the early stages of development, I'm aiming to write a full-blooded drama, which embraces the Doctor Who heritage, at the same time as introducing the character to a modern audience."
