Wartime was a short film produced in 1987 by Reeltime Pictures. Starring John Levene reprising his Doctor Who character John Benton and also featuring UNIT, it was the first independently produced (i.e. non-BBC) Doctor Who spinoff video. Under licensing rules, companies such as Reeltime (and BBV Productions from 1992 onwards) were able to obtain permission to use characters, races and concepts from their creators, except for those characters -- such as The Doctor -- that were wholly owned by the BBC.
A major difference between Wartime the spin-offs that followed is that it was the only such production mounted while the original Doctor Who series itself was still in production (most of the others were produced in the interregnum between the show's cancellation in 1989 and the 1996 TV movie).
Two versions of Wartime were released. A revised version issued in the mid-1990s added a voice-only cameo by Nicholas Courtney as The Brigadier.
