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''.

Since the DVD was published, however, these movies gradually made their way onto official [[BBC DVD]] releases — most notably as a part of the ''[[Lost in Time (DVD box set)|Lost in Time]]'' box set. | Since the DVD was published, however, these movies gradually made their way onto official [[BBC DVD]] releases — most notably as a part of the ''[[Lost in Time (DVD box set)|Lost in Time]]'' box set. | ||

Many of the interviewees were people who would contribute to [[BBC DVD]] releases. However, this documentary was one of the few homes to interviews with [[John Nathan-Turner]] and [[Shaun Sutton]]. The Nathan-Turner portions came from what was likely his longest filmed interview about ''Doctor Who''. It offered rare interviews with two members of the production team of ''[[The Dark Dimension]]'' — a 1993 project that came close to reviving ''Doctor Who'' before the [[Doctor Who (1996)|1996 tele-film]]. | Many of the interviewees were people who would contribute to [[BBC DVD]] releases.
