Synopsis


An extended version of a documentary first shown in November 1993 as part of the 30th anniversary celebration of everybody's favourite science-fiction series, Doctor Who.

Including contributions from Doctors Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvestor McCoy, plus a whole gang of their companions, More than 30 years in the TARDIS was a fitting tribute to a series that had ended in 1989. With many stunning recreations of classic scenes, this special documentary contains rare footage, deleted scenes and classic monsters as you've never seen them before ...

Background


In 1993, Doctor Who was 30 years old. While a big question mark over the series ever returning remained, the BBC marked the anniversary year with a loving tribute to the show - 30 years in the TARDIS. The 50-minute programme was packed with interviews, memories and specially shot scenes featuring Doctors, companions and classic monsters.

A year later, More than 30 years in the TARDIS was released on BBC Video. A great deal of material shot was unused in the documentary, and the video release contained a re-edited and extended version with a large amount of unseen footage that hadn't made it into the original programme.

The special scenes within the documentary are ambitious and brilliantly created. It's a joy to see flying Daleks by Westminster Bridge, Cybermen on the steps of St Paul's, the Dalek Emperor's control room and Autons chasing Nicholas Courtney. And who didn't 'Wow!' when they first saw the little boy push open the police box doors to reveal the TARDIS inside?

More than 30 years in the TARDIS does the series proud - the love for Doctor Who is apparent throughout. There had been nothing quite like this before - it was released a long time before the DVD range gave as much access to behind-the-series clips and views from the people in Doctor Who as it does today, so imagine how thrilling it was for fans to see the vast amount of people interviewed, the studio footage, bloopers and clips from 30 years of their favourite show.
