Doctor Who Live: The Afterparty was a BBC Events Production that went out live from the BFI on BBC Three following the BBC One premiere of The Day of the Doctor. It involved cast members from the whole history of Doctor Who, from William Russell to John Hurt.
Infamously featuring a disastrously flawed live satellite hookup with the boy band One Direction in Los Angeles, the programme was likely known more for its failures than its successes.
Main subject
The main reason for the gathering was to celebrate The Day of the Doctor. Accordingly cast and crew of that episode were given pride of place on the interview couch.
The people receiving the longest interviews were therefore Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, John Hurt and Steven Moffat.
Also, the presenters made an effort to solicit opinions about the 50th anniversary special from "ordinary fans" who were gathered in what was described as a "social media zone". In reality, just a part of the BFI reception area that was physically separate from the area where the former companions and Doctors were mustered. Most questions to ex-companions were also skewed toward getting some comment about the story just aired, and how it compared to stories in their era of the programme.
Additional topics covered
Another key focus for the episode was in promoting The Fiveish Doctors Reboot, allowing Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy some greater interview time.
People interviewed
In credit order — which, oddly, was alphabetised in order of first names — the guests who attended were:
Crew notes
The credits are ambiguous as to the producer and director. While it appears that Victoria Simpson is the piece's director, and Russell Minton its producer, the credits additionally have the following, mysterious entry:
- Producer/Director
- Chris Chapman
- Paul De Freitas
Home video releases
Home video from this event is unlikely, due to the sheer volume of the "cast" and its major technical flaws. Certainly, not even digital releases have been announced as of January 2014[update].
