Dr Who Night

[paulrogers]

I have just found a VHS tape of BBC 2 Dr Who Night it appears all the linking material, the trailor and Dalek/BBC 2 Logo are here, I except the Beeb has a copy of this , but just in case can anyone advise please.

Is that the one with “30 years in the Tardis”?

[paulrogers]

I dont think so it starts with Tom Baker talking to the camera, who mentions Cleopatra, then a sketch featuring David Walliams as Sidney pitching the idea of Dr Who to Mark Gattis

I imagine the BBC have this. Various parts have been re-used down the years.

I have a couple of VHS of this night that I've already digitised, but I'd certainly be interested in your tape as well.

Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.

All the best

I also have this on Vhs somewhere, it was a very exciting time, on the verge of the Millenium and when WHO repeats were rare on terrestrial TV. From memory it kick-started reruns of Spearhead, Silurians and Genesis.

The page does suggest most of the original material has been released as DVD extras/ Easter eggs, but I'm not sure about the linking narrations in-between.

Many years ago I found a VHS copy of the night and other interviews from the 1990s at a carboot with other videos.
I contacted the restoration team but they confirmed everything existed.

I would really like to own 30 Years in the TARDIS again. I know More Than... is far superior (though it's been 30 years since I could make the comparison) but I recall interviews that were cut from More, including Ben Aaronovitch being asked how he would choose to end the series if, he wrote the last story ("I'd kill him off"). I did have it on video until 1995, along with the '93 BBC2 repeat of Battlefield, with all the continuity announcements, TV licence infomercials etc. Sadly, my mum recorded over most shocking of it with episodes of The Bill. If only I knew at the time about that wee plastic tab you could pull off in order to avert such disasters! Oh well. You live, you learn, you lose Who. Twas ever thus.

I have only ever seen more than and quite nievely assumed that everything in the original was included and than just expanded upon. Is there anywhere the cut material has been included elsewhere I.e. other dvd releases as bonus features for example??
