Dene Films is very proud to announce that its biggest Doctor Who documentary to date will be released in 2010. Who Peter, a two-part film that examines and celebrates the close-knit ties between Doctor Who and Blue Peter is causing waves around the Doctor Who community, with a news article in this month’s Doctor Who Magazine. Written, Produced and Directed by Dene’s Chris Chapman and edited by Imagine TX Editor Richard Alderson. The preview reports:

Next year sees a very special feature released by 2|entertain over two Doctor Who DVDs. Commissioning Editor Daniel Hall tells DWM:

"It's rare to announce 'Value Added Material' before a title, but we are very proud of this! I am delighted to confirm that we are nearing the end of production on our biggest documentary to date. It’s a two-parter due for release next year, presented by Gethin Jones, star of Blue Peter and Strictly Come Dancing – as well as playing a Cyberman in Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel! Shot in the Blue Peter studio and the Blue Peter Garden, the programme, Who Peter, was devised by former Blue Peter producer Richard Marson. Doctor Who and Blue Peter have always been close allies, and this documentary mini-series celebrates that."

Who Peter’s producer, Chris Chapman of Dene Films, says:

"Doctor Who’s closest bedfellow at the BBC has always been Blue Peter, and with a video archive and a menagerie of anecdotes stretching back five decades, the sibling relationship between the two is a subject ripe for the picking! With the help of a packed cast of interviewees, including Peter Purves, Janet Ellis, Biddy Baxter and Russell T Davies, we spent two action-packed days filming at the BBC and – hopefully – the result is something that sums up and celebrates the quirky bond between the two shows. Having Gethin on board was an absolute godsend – the man is a presenting masterclass (and, I'm informed, rather easy on the eye) and he dived into our complex world of Dalek Cakes, K9 vs Shep dogfights and Abzorbaloffs with relish."

Part One of Who Peter will hit the shelves in the first half of 2010, with Part Two following later in the year.
