Clarification on Steve Roberts - 2|Entertain ceased being a company a few months back; it is now all dealt with in house at BBC Worldwide. Steve Roberts, I believe, is not a BBC Worldwide employee currently, but is (and has been for a very long time) an avid member of the Doctor Who community, and one of the most spokesperson-esque people of the Restoration Team. Despite not being a BBC employee, he works very close with them and, I think, can definently be said to represent the BBC's stance on Shada in this matter. What CzechOut says above is correct.

:Yeah, I was simplifying slightly. Roberts is Senior Content Producer for DWRT. The DWRT — these days at least — deliver their finished restorations to 2|Entertain, who then add more content to it. | |||
:The DWRT is, contrary to their general perception in fandom, a paid contractor with at first the BBC Archives, then later BBCW, then later 2|Entertain, and now again BBCW. Though what they do is largely a labour of love, and they're almost certainly criminally underpaid for the magic they do, they are still bound to BBCW through contracts, as they admit on their homepage. This makes them a professional organisation of freelancers, and very much like the 99% of the people who work on modern DW. Roberts is the lead person in charge of delivering the actual episodes, which are obviously the basis for classic era DVD release. He is thus the lynchpin for content. He is every bit as close to "speaking with the authority of the BBC" as Moffat — who, like Roberts, is merely a contracted freelancer in charge of content provision. | |||
:And though 2|entertain is now a label for non-BBC company (mostly music), its name is still going out on DW projects as of ''The Claws of Axos'' special edition. So it seemed a safe bet that they might still be technically on the DW labels through the end of the range next year. Given the anal nature of DW fans, I'd place my bets that they're not going to yank the 2|E logo on the spine of DW DVDs for the handful of DVDs remaining in the range. In any case, 2|E remains useful shorthand for "Dan Hall and His Band of Renown". {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 17:00: Sat 10 Nov 2012</span> | |||
