In a statement, a BBC spokeswoman said: "Doctor Who Confidential has been a great show for BBC Three over the years, but our priority now is to build on original British commissions, unique to the channel."

The spin-off programme was launched in 2005 when the series was brought back to TV and contains interviews with the cast - which includes Matt Smith who plays the Doctor - crew, writers, special effects team and various on set segments.

The final episode of Doctor Who Confidential will air this Saturday on BBC Three, immediately after the Series 6 finale The Wedding of River Song. Doctor Who Confidential axed by BBC Three
