Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

These interviews were filmed across years; Barnfather caught Pertwee before his fatal 1996 heart attack, making this treasure essentially irreplaceable.

Cultural

The Third Doctor's Earth-bound exile and UNIT family structure was budget-driven but accidentally created television's most beloved found-family dynamic in sci-fi history.
