31 Who
31 Who was the name of a factual Doctor Who programme that ran on British Satellite Broadcasting's Galaxy Channel during one weekend in 1990. The name was derived from the fact that Galaxy showed 31 different serials in a single "Doctor Who Weekend" event. 31 Who was thus a kind of "bumper" between the various stories, offering moderated discussions on the stories being featured.
Perhaps the most well-known of these segments is the one that has been preserved on the official BBC DVD release of The Three Doctors. The segment is about 10 minutes long, and features three different presenters holding three separate interview sessions. Writers Bob Baker and David Martin, actor Nicholas Courtney and script editor Terrance Dicks, and former Doctor Jon Pertwee all were interviewed for their thoughts on The Three Doctors.
John Nathan-Turner was likely the highest-profile presenter of 31 Who. Indeed, depending on when the 31 Who segments were filmed, it is possible that he was technically still the producer of Doctor Who at the time, since the Doctor Who production office didn't close until 1990.
Since the network folded little more than a year after the Doctor Who Weekend, it's unclear how many of these 31 Who segments still exist. However, what clips do exist are still technically copyright John Gau, who was the head of BSB.
