In [[2021 (releases)|2021]] BBV released [[P.R.O.B.E. | In [[2021 (releases)|2021]] BBV released a series of short ''[[P.R.O.B.E. (series)|P.R.O.B.E.]]'' webcasts on their [[YouTube]] channel under the title of ''P.R.O.B.E. Online''. After being released weekly, they were taken off the Internet (but for two) and collected as a paying release available through the BBV Website as ''P.R.O.B.E. Case Files''. | ||

The | The original BBV Productions website, bbvonline.co.uk, became inaccessible in late 2009. In January 2011, the domain was taken up by a new registrant and used for an unrelated site, a film blog. However the TARDIS Library website lists a number of BBV releases in 2012, beginning with DVD reissues of the PROBE series in March 2012, followed by August 2012 reissues of ''Do You Have a License to Save This Planet?'', ''Cyberon'' and ''Bidding Adieu''. | ||
Bill Baggs | Bill Baggs ultimately returned to DWU work with a new ''P.R.O.B.E.'' film, ''[[When to Die (home video)|When to Die]]'', in memory of [[Caroline John]], featuring Hazel Burrows taking over the role of Liz Shaw. It was released on [[15 April (releases)|15 April]] [[2015 (releases)|2015]]. <ref>[https://www.galaxy4.co.uk/product.thtml?id=1508&vts=gbYeAgI "Fifth PROBE film for pre-order"] - www.galaxy4.co.uk</ref> In 2018, BBV released ''Sunrise: Love Again'', an independent feature film written and directed by Bill Baggs. | ||
In late [[2020 (releases)|2020]] and continuing into [[2021 (releases)|2021]], BBV Productions started uploading interviews of various vintages with ''Doctor Who'' cast and crew to their YouTube channel, as well as making ''Sunrise: Love Again'' available for free as a form of promotion on the same channel. They also revived the ''[[P.R.O.B.E. (series)|P.R.O.B.E.]]'' series with a series of webcasts, "''Case Files''" starring a returning Bill Baggs as [[Giles (When to Die)|Giles]]. These webcasts occasionally featured licensed appearances by, or references to, other DWU elements than P.R.O.B.E., including the [[Shed Scale]]s from ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]''. | In late [[2020 (releases)|2020]] and continuing into [[2021 (releases)|2021]], BBV Productions started uploading interviews of various vintages with ''Doctor Who'' cast and crew to their YouTube channel, as well as making ''Sunrise: Love Again'' available for free as a form of promotion on the same channel.

This preceded the revival of the BBV website in the first half of 2021, which made all of the company's back catalogue (both DWU and otherwise) available as paying downloads as well as permitting the order or preorder of home media releases. A new season of ''[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]'' was begun, including original ''P.R.O.B.E.'' stories featuring the "new team", as well as the reissuing of the hitherto-unrelated-to-BBV audio series ''The Minister of Chance'' as part of the label. Through partnerships with [[Thebes Publishing]] and [[Arcbeatle Press]], ''[[Erimem (series)|Erimem]]'', ''[[Cyberon (anthology)|Cyberon]]'' and ''[[Cwej: The Series]]'' ebooks were also sold through the BBV website, even as they remained available through their primary publishers. | |||

While there, he revealed he was releasing the ''full'' version of ''The Killing Stone'' — which included 100% of the original script, plus more — later in [[2012]]. In doing so, he noted that the BBC were requiring him to change the names of all the characters involved, noting "the BBC copyright situation is rather tougher now than it was when I did ''The Killing Stone''". In an interview published in ''[[Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who]]'', Baggs stated that he thought Franklin had cleared the publishing with the BBC, but that he mainly thought the publication was "fair" due to it featuring "his interpretations". Despite Bagg's claims, writer Dylan Rees still concludes that the publishing was and is "strictly speaking, illegal." Thus the original ''Killing Stone'' released by BBV is not currently considered a "licensed" work, and thus is no longer covered by this wiki.</ref> | | style="background-color:#e25822; padding:10px;" | No<ref group="aud">[[Richard Franklin]], author of ''The Killing Stone'', guested on episode 297 of the podcast ''[[Radio Free Skaro]]''.
