Doctor Who Confidential is a series going behind the scenes of the new Doctor Who. It is broadcast on BBC Three at 7.45 PM on Saturdays, immediately after the broadcast of the weekly television episode on BBC One.

It includes behind the scenes filming, interviews with cast, creator Russell T Davies and the other writers, as well as the rest of the creative team.

Each episodes of the first series originally included clips from the show rich history. These links with the past were however cut from the Series 1 DVD release because of the high cost and legal difficulty of licensing the music and classic series clips for commercial sale.

Series 1 was narated by Simon Pegg; Series 2 by Mark Gatiss.

For the third series and the 2006 Christmas special, Doctor Who confidential was extended to a running time of 45 minutes. Anthony Head (Mr Finch in School Reunion) took the role of narrator.
