Editing BBV Productions (section)

==Video==
BBV's first production was ''Summoned by Shadows'' (1991), co-produced with the BBC Film Club. Partly as a homage to ''Doctor Who'', which Baggs was a fan of, and partly in a pragmatic attempt to take advantage of a pre-existing audience, ''Summoned by Shadows'' was a ''Who''-style tale of strange events on a distant planet starring [[Colin Baker]] as the nameless protagonist (listed in the credits as "The Stranger"). [[Nicola Bryant]] co-starred as "Miss Brown". The adventures of The Stranger ran to six videos (and two audio dramas, the second remade as the sixth video). (For more information, see [[The Stranger (video series)]].)

BBV's next production was ''[[The Airzone Solution|The AirZone Solution?]]'', an ecologically themed thriller about a near-future conspiracy. Released in 1993, ''Doctor Who''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s thirtieth anniversary year, it involved four out of five surviving ex-Doctors. Baker and Bryant starred. Successor [[Sylvester McCoy]] and predecessors [[Peter Davison]] and [[Jon Pertwee]] also appeared as members of a small group joined against a sinister conspiracy.<ref>{{Cite magazine |title=Cyberons, sexy Zygons and Mark Gatiss: The bizarre world of the unofficial Doctor Who spin-offs |first=Thomas |last=Ling |date=2018-11-27 |magazine=[[Radio Times]] |url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/2019-10-18/doctor-who-fan-made-spin-off-films-cyberons-sexy-zygons-mark-gatiss/ |access-date=2022-01-18}}</ref>

''The Zero Imperative'' (1994) marked a new departure for BBV. Although it included many ex-''Doctor Who'' guest stars, only one of them was playing the same character. The story was built around [[Caroline John]]'s [[Liz Shaw]], the Doctor's companion in the seventh season of ''Doctor Who'', now depicted as an investigator for PROBE (the "Preternatural Research Bureau"). The PROBE series ran for an additional three stories; all four were written by [[Mark Gatiss]], who found more widespread fame as a member of [[the League of Gentlemen]], later going on to write episodes for the revived Doctor Who series. The potentially-confusing mixture of Caroline John reprising her ''Doctor Who'' role with other recognisable ''Who'' stars playing different characters worked against the series, as did the way that Liz Shaw often seemed to be played as a different character from the ''Doctor Who'' original. (The latter problem may have been exacerbated by the fact that, although BBV had obtained permission to use Liz Shaw, they had no rights relating to ''Doctor Who'' itself - which meant that no explicit reference could be made to any other aspect of ''Doctor Who'', including the events of the stories in which Liz Shaw had appeared.)

BBV's next series was a spin-off from two ''Doctor Who'' stories in the 1970s in which the Doctor assisted the [[United Nations Intelligence Taskforce]] (UNIT) in defeating the [[Auton]]s, robotic invaders sent to conquer Earth on behalf of the alien Nestenes. The trilogy, beginning with ''Auton'' in 1997, recounted UNIT's battle against another Auton invasion, this time without the Doctor's aid (since BBV had obtained permission to use UNIT and the Autons, but was never given permission to use the Doctor himself). ''Auton'' was also the first BBV production to have no ''Doctor Who'' guest stars, after [[Nicholas Courtney]] (who was to reprise his ''Doctor Who'' role as UNIT commander [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]]) had to withdraw from the project, due to ill health.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Downtime: the Lost Years of Doctor Who|first=Dylan|last=Rees|date=2017|publisher=Obverse Books|page=125}}</ref> With Courtney unavailable, the focus of the series was the original character of Lockwood, an enigmatic UNIT agent played by Michael Wade.

After the success of the [[Auton trilogy]], BBV produced ''Cyberon'' (involving a race of alien [[cyborg]]s reminiscent of the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]). 2001's ''"Do you Have a Licence to Save this Planet?"'' was a comedy starring [[Sylvester McCoy]] as the [[chiropodist]]. This spoof not only referenced previous BBV productions, but also ''Doctor Who'' itself.

BBV's ''[[Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough]]'' (previously titled ''Zygon: When Being Me Is Not Enough'') is a story in which Mike Kirkwood dreams of being a monster, unaware that he is in fact a [[Zygon]], believing himself to be human. This story also includes Jo Castleton's character of Doctor Lauren Anderson from ''Cyberon''.

A new PROBE film was released 15 April 2015 with Hazel Burrows taking over from Caroline John as Liz Shaw.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.galaxy4.co.uk/product.thtml?id=1508&vts=gbYeAgI|title=Galaxy 4 - PROBE: When To Die|website=Galaxy4.co.uk|access-date=18 February 2015|archive-date=18 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150218010648/https://www.galaxy4.co.uk/product.thtml?id=1508&vts=gbYeAgI|url-status=dead}}</ref>
