'''BBV Productions''' (also known as '''Bill & Ben Video''' and sometimes, erroneously, as '''Bill Baggs Video''') is a [[British]] video production company known for its many unofficial video and audio ''Doctor Who'' spin-offs. A number of personnel behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera would go on to work on the revival of ''Doctor Who'' after 2005, most notably [[Nicholas Briggs]] who acted in, wrote, and directed a number of BBV productions, and author/actor [[Mark Gatiss]]. BBV developed a repertory company of actors that appeared in many of these productions, often playing different roles. | '''BBV Productions''' (also known as '''Bill & Ben Video''' and sometimes, erroneously, as '''Bill Baggs Video''') is a [[British]] video production company known for its many unofficial video and audio ''Doctor Who'' spin-offs.

BBV's first production was the [[1992]] video release ''[[Summoned by Shadows]]'', which was co-produced by the [[BBC Film Club]] and starred Colin Baker playing an unnamed character only known as the Stranger and Nicola Bryant as Miss Brown. The Stranger's adventures were chronicled on six videos and an audio adventure, many of which featured former ''Who'' cast members. The sixth video, ''[[Eye of the Beholder]]'', was later re-released as the audio story ''[[Eye of the Storm]]''. | BBV's first production was the [[1992]] video release ''[[Summoned by Shadows]]'', which was co-produced by the [[BBC Film Club]] and starred Colin Baker playing an unnamed character only known as the Stranger and Nicola Bryant as Miss Brown.

BBV's next release was the ecologically-themed thriller '' | BBV's next release was the ecologically-themed thriller ''The Airzone Solution'', which was about a near-future conspiracy. The video was released in [[1993]], coinciding with the 30th anniversary of ''Doctor Who'' and featured four actors previously cast as the Doctor. | ||
In [[1994]], BBV released the first video in the [[P.R.O.B.E.]] series, ''[[The Zero Imperative]]'', which saw a departure for BBV as [[Liz Shaw]] was the only character from the ''Who'' universe to appear (although numerous ''Who'' actors made appearances as different characters). This proved problematic for the series, as Liz Shaw seemed very much changed following her leaving from UNIT; this was due to BBV only acquiring the rights to use the character and had no rights to the Doctor, meaning that the series could make no explicit reference to any other aspect of ''Who'' – including the stories where Liz was present. | In [[1994]], BBV released the first video in the [[P.R.O.B.E.]] series, ''[[The Zero Imperative]]'', which saw a departure for BBV as [[Liz Shaw]] was the only character from the ''Who'' universe to appear (although numerous ''Who'' actors made appearances as different characters).
