About this episode

Keith Barnfather discusses the history of Reeltime Pictures and shares insights into early Doctor Who spin-off productions.

The founder and Reeltime Pictures joins us again, and this time he's front and centre to discuss the company's history. From in-depth interviews, to full-cast dramatic productions, Reeltime has done them all over the years. Keith shares some fascinating insight into some of the earliest interviews, recruiting Nick Briggs to front the series, and how he and others went about shooting Wartime, the first independent, full-cast Doctor Who spin-off production. And we also share why you can't buy Downtime any more either! And please note, Keith's interview was recorded a week before it was announced that Russell T Davies was leaving Doctor Who. Plus! We have five DVDs to give away!
