'''''The Doctors''''' (sometimes known by its subtitle, '''''30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond''''') was a 1995 documentary produced by [[BBV Productions]]. It was a sixty-five-minute retrospective on the entire history of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' from 1963 to 1995. Although unofficial, it included interviews with many famous ''[[Doctor Who]]'' personalities still alive in 1995. It was mostly compiled from previous interviews conducted by [[Bill Baggs]] and his associates. | '''''The Doctors''''' (sometimes known by its subtitle, '''''30 Years of Time Travel and Beyond''''') was a 1995 documentary produced by [[BBV Productions]].

It featured home movies of the filming of several ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[serial]]s. It contained the first public showing of some colour footage of the filming of a few [[missing episode]]s from the 1960s. It also contained interviews with some people who have not generally appeared on official [[BBC DVD]] documentaries or commentaries. | It featured home movies of the filming of several ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[serial]]s.

''The Doctors'' interviewed people important to the first thirty-two years of the franchise's history. It was arranged mostly in chronological order and took its viewers through a brief overview of each Doctor's "era" on the programme. In its concluding chapter, it discussed things that had happened to the franchise since its cancellation — such as the continuing life of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' and the [[Virgin New Adventures]] series. It ended by discussing the early 1990s history of the franchise. | ''The Doctors'' interviewed people important to the first thirty-two years of the franchise's history.

Though published professionally, ''The Doctors'' was an amateur production. This was obvious in many interviews, where microphone [[boom]]s were clearly in shot. At one point, as well, [[Peter Davison]] and [[Mark Strickson]] were walking at the location of ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'', and they had to alert the cameraman that he was about to back into a park bench. There was no attempt at [[grading]] the raw footage, or at fixing technical flaws in the recording. The DVD version, in particular, failed entirely to meet the usual technical specifications of the medium. | Though published professionally, ''The Doctors'' was an amateur production.

Aside from the interviews themselves, the only moving pictures in the documentary were home movies of location filming of ''Doctor Who''. As these were not made by the BBC, it cannot exercise any control over their dissemination. The movies on this volume are some of the few published glimpses of the filming of ''Doctor Who'' in the 1960s and 1970s. What is believed to be the full, unexpurgated versions of some of the movies were presented as the DVD's only special feature. These movies were also remarkable for being entirely in colour — all the more unusual since some of the filming was of the traditionally monochromatic [[First Doctor|First]] and [[Second Doctor]]s. Serials represented by the home movies included: ''[[The Smugglers]]'', ''[[The Abominable Snowmen]]'', ''[[The Demons]]'', ''[[City of Death]]'' and ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''. None of the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s home movies were included in the special features. | Aside from the interviews themselves, the only moving pictures in the documentary were home movies of location filming of ''Doctor Who''.
