The Doctors: 30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond

The Doctors (sometimes known by its subtitle, 30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond) was a 1995 documentary produced by BBV Productions. It was a 65-minute retrospective on the entire history of the 1963 version of Doctor Who. Although completely unofficial, it nevertheless included interviews with many famous Doctor Who personalities still alive in 1995. The documentary is sometimes believed to be a more recent work, due to a comparatively late release to DVD in 2002.

Visual style
Because the producers had no relationship to the British Broadcasting Corporation, they were unable to use any footage from Doctor Who, and were limited to use of only production and advertising stills. Thus, the original interviews which form the basis of the documentary are interspliced with home movies made of the filming of certain episodes of Doctor Who. As a result, the documentary was, at the time of its release, famous for being the first home of some never-before-seen footage, particularly involving the filming of The Smugglers and The Abominable Snowmen, two serials with missing episodes.
