Peter Davison: Doctor Who, All Creatures and a Reunion 40 Years Later
Peter Davison: Doctor Who, All Creatures & a Reunion 40 Years Later
What happens when two former castmates reconnect more than 40 years after working together on a BBC television drama?
In this very special episode of the SoulfulValley Podcast, Katie Carey reunites with much-loved British actor Peter Davison,
best known for playing the Fifth Doctor in Doctor Who and Tristan Farnon in All Creatures Great and Small.
Katie was just 15 when she worked alongside Peter in the BBC adaptation of Anna of the Five Towns, filmed in 1984.
Now, more than four decades later, they revisit the laughter, friendships and extraordinary behind-the-scenes moments that have stayed with them.
Peter shares stories of life after Doctor Who, the audition mishap that helped him land All Creatures Great and Small, his early ambitions as a songwriter, and the surprising origins of the beloved Button Moon theme tune.
They also explore how television has changed, the friendships formed through acting, his experiences at Doctor Who conventions, and his role in The Good Ship Murder.
The conversation takes a particularly meaningful turn when Peter discusses writing his autobiography, preserving family memories for future generations, and why he believes everyone has a story worth recording.
With plenty of laughter, nostalgia and reflections on getting older, family and what really matters, this is a wonderfully personal conversation about a life spent entertaining others while keeping both feet firmly on the ground.
Featuring Peter Davison in conversation with Katie Carey, on the Soulful Valley Podcast.
