Fans of Doctor Who have been left in a state of disbelief at the ‘disrespect’ of former companion and viewer favourite Clara Oswald.

This came as a special episode of the spin-off documentary series Doctor Who: Unleashed celebrated 20 years of the sci-fi drama’s rebooted iteration.

First airing on BBC One on March 26 2005, Doctor Who returned to screens after an absence of 16 years, introducing Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor, and Billie Piper as companion Rose Tyler.

The rest, as they say, is history – and Doctor Who recently wrapped up its most recent series, with Ncuti Gatwa stepping down as the Fifteenth Doctor during a surprise regeneration.

Looking back over 20 years of filming in Cardiff, last night’s Unleashed paid tribute to Doctors and companions past.
