'''BBV Productions''' (also known as '''Bill & Ben Video''') was a [[British]] video production company founded by [[Bill Baggs]] in [[1991]]. The company was named for Baggs himself and his wife Helen, whose nickname is "Ben."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20090216172424/http://bbvonline.co.uk/about_us.html "About BBV"] - bbvonline.co.uk (archived)</ref> | '''BBV Productions''' (also known as '''Bill & Ben Video''') was a [[British]] video production company founded by [[Bill Baggs]] in [[1991]].

Towards this end it heavily used ''Doctor Who'' actors and, when possible, characters. It put out material that adhered to one of fourbasic types: | ||
*documentaries | |||
*fiction using characters owned by individual ''Doctor Who'' writers, or characters owned by the BBC whom the BBC gave permission to use | |||
*what [[Nicholas Briggs]] has called "Who clones", or things that were very close to ''Doctor Who'', but the names were changed to keep the BBC at bay | |||
*some wholly original material using nothing that connected to the DWU, aside possibly from ''Doctor Who'' actors | |||
Of these three types, this wiki is only interested in the first two. Because it's a little confusing, [[#Releases|a list of BBV releases]] appears below to demonstrate which are DWU stories and which are not. | |||
