A Time-Travelling Journey Through the BBC Archives.
Were you terrified of the Daleks? Has the familiar 'Doctor Who' theme tune ever sent a shiver down your spine? If so, 'Doctor Who At The BBC' is for you.
In this special 2-CD release, Elisabeth Sladen and Nicholas Courtney take a journey through the archives and uncover the history of 'Doctor Who' on BBC radio and television.
Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in the series) traces the development of this incredibly successful series, which first hit our TV screens in 1963. As well as a galaxy of classic moments from the series, he introduces some of the great and good who helped make the series a national institution - including many of the actors who've played the Doctors and his companions, and some of the series' most prolific writers and producers.
Meanwhile Elisabeth Sladen - the Doctor's trusty assistant Sarah-Jane - travels back in time to discover some little-heard radio gems. There's a 1974 location report from Dartmoor, 'The Ed Stewart Show' broadcast live from Longleat in 1983, Radio 1's Newsbeat on the recovery of a missing episode, and rare archive interviews with Terry Nation, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Mary Tamm, Douglas Adams and even the mutt-shaped K9.
A wealth of comedy is also represented with clips from 'Hello Cheeky', 'Week Ending', 'The Skivers' and 'Dead Ringers'.
