Doctor On Display: Longleat | Reeltime Pictures | Doctor Who

Available Now from Reeltime Pictures!

In the early 1970s, the BBC decided to launch a series of exhibitions featuring monsters and props from Doctor Who.

Over the next three decades, untold thousands of children (and adults too!) were thrilled by a mix of innovative, exciting and stunning extravaganzas!

For many fans, these exhibitions were their first and only real chance to get close-up to their favourite TV programme … and the memories they share in this innovative documentary series are bound together by interviews with experts and people who actually worked at them!

In the early 70s, the Marquis of Bath, on the lookout for anything that would encourage more visitors to his estate at Longleat, decided that Doctor Who would be just the ticket!

In this production, we go behind the scenes in Wiltshire to reveal the story of Doctor Who’s longest running exhibition, meeting the people who made it all happen, and those who visited … often many times a year!

There’s drama, celebrations, days out and fire! It’s all here!

Dr Who: The Highlanders

I watched what little remains of this serial on 3 January 2023 and was made available on the Lost in Time DVD. There’s a few short violent clips, cut because of Australian censorship. There’s so little, all from episode one, it’s impossible to work out what’s going on. Fortunately, the soundtrack exists, and photos… and it was novelised by Gerry Davis in 1984.

The serial was the first to be wiped from the BBC archives, which occurred in 1967.

The story takes place near where I currently live, although it was filmed at the other end of Great Britain. It introduces Jamie McCrimmon, a piper on the Jacobite side of the bloody battle on Culloden moor that took place in April 1746. It does what Dr Who does well: show that both sides of conflict are rarely uniform in opinion and action. No one side is ever wholly "good" or "evil".

The serial is the last historical story before Black Orchid.

Jamie joined the TARDIS crew and would remain with the Doctor until… well, I’ll get to that by the end of this month.

Fun fact: the MacCrimmons were pipers to the chiefs of Clan MacLeod on the Isle of Skye for several generations including during the 1700s. 

Additional fun fact: Outlander is a book and TV series that's massively inspired tourism in the Highlands. I'd never heard of it until I moved to live here. Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series, was inspired by Jamie McCrimmon and named her protagonist "Jamie" in tribute.

He smiled at her with his rare kind smile, a smile so kind that it seemed to take all the sadness there was inside it and still come out as a smile.
