Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
BBV was the wild west of Doctor Who spin-offs—no BBC oversight, just fans with cameras and licensed actor likenesses. This doc captures that scrappy era perfectly.
Mark Gatiss would later write for and appear in the actual Doctor Who revival, making this early documentary almost prophetically autobiographical.
