Steffan Powell, who presents Doctor Who Unleashed.
The taxi driver who drops me off, in the rain, outside a disused power station surrounded by TV trucks and catering vans asks me, not unreasonably, what the hell is going on here. “A mayonnaise commercial,” I tell him. (I panicked. I’m under NDA.) What I can’t say is that this mothballed, former coal plant deep in the Welsh countryside – at Uskmouth, near Newport – is harbouring monsters from outer space, a crashed rocket, a poor, vulnerable Meep, a Noble dynasty, and the last of the Time Lords. And where Time Lords and monsters tread, so now does Doctor Who Unleashed – a new behind-thescenes spin-off series for BBC Three and iPlayer. It’s about to become one of your top two favourite TV shows.
