BBV's first production was the [[1992]] video release ''Summoned by Shadows'', which was co-produced by the [[BBC Film Club]] and starred Colin Baker playing an unnamed character only known as the Stranger and Nicola Bryant as Miss Brown. The Stranger's adventures were chronicled on six videos and an audio adventure, many of which featured former ''Who'' cast members. The sixth video, ''Eye of the Beholder'', was later re-released as the audio story ''[[Eye of the Storm]]''. | BBV's first production was the [[1992]] video release ''Summoned by Shadows'', which was co-produced by the [[BBC Film Club]] and starred Colin Baker playing an unnamed character only known as the Stranger and Nicola Bryant as Miss Brown.

In [[2001]] BBV released ''[[Do You Have a Licence to Save this Planet?]]'', a film in which Sylvester McCoy played a character called the Chiropodist (aka Foot Doctor) as he fought Cyberons and [[Sontaran]]s.

After experimenting with audio for a few years, BBV began regularly releasing audio dramas in [[1998]] under the umbrella title "[[Audio Adventures in time and Space]]". One line of adventures was ''[[The Time Travellers (series)|The Time Travellers]]'', starring Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred as [[Seventh Doctor|the Professor]] and [[Ace]]; the two so closely resembled their ''Doctor Who'' characters that, by the seventh story, the BBC had stepped-in and demanded changes to not infringe copyrights – the main change was that the main characters were now the Dominie and Alice. | After experimenting with audio for a few years, BBV began regularly releasing audio dramas in [[1998]] under the umbrella title "[[Audio Adventures in time and Space]]".
