In [[1994]], BBV released the first video in the [[P.R.O.B.E.]] series, ''[[The Zero Imperative (home video)|The Zero Imperative]]'', which saw a departure for BBV as [[Liz Shaw]] was the only character from the ''Who'' universe to appear (although numerous ''Who'' actors made appearances as different characters). This proved problematic for the series, as Liz Shaw seemed very much changed following her leaving from UNIT; this was due to BBV only acquiring the rights to use the character and had no rights to the Doctor, meaning that the series could make no explicit reference to any other aspect of ''Who'' – including the stories where Liz was present. | In [[1994]], BBV released the first video in the ''[[P.R.O.B.E.
