BBV Productions: Difference between revisions

'''BBV Productions''' (also known as '''Bill & Ben Video''' and sometimes, erroneously, as '''Bill Baggs Video''') is a [[British]] video production company known for its many unofficial video and audio ''Doctor Who'' spin-offs. A number of personnel behind-the-scenes and in front of the camera would go on to work on the revival of ''Doctor Who'' after 2005, most notably [[Nicholas Briggs]], who acted in, wrote and directed a number of BBV productions, and author/actor [[Mark Gatiss]]. BBV developed a repertory company of actors that appeared in many of these productions, often playing different roles. Many of these actors were well-known from their work in ''Doctor Who'' and included former Doctor actors [[Jon Pertwee]], [[Peter Davison]], [[Colin Baker]] and [[Sylvester McCoy]], and companion actors [[Caroline John]], [[Louise Jameson]], [[Nicola Bryant]] and [[Sophie Aldred]]. Several actors appearing in these productions early in their careers went on to some notability, including Mark Gatiss and [[Alan Cumming]].
