Elisabeth Sladen steps into the TARDIS once again to present another installment of drama, comedy and behind-the-scenes extracts from the many worlds of "Doctor Who". "Doctor Who" at the BBC combs the avenues of Time and Space for significant spin-off moments from the much-loved TV and radio series. In an exclusive coup, this third volume features a rarely heard, ten minute mini-drama starring Jon Pertwee and Elisabeth Sladen. Specially recorded for Glorious Goodwood in 1974, it has never been broadcast and features a host of familiar enemies - including the Daleks! Elsewhere on this two-disc volume, the radio program Wavelength meets the cast and production team of The Two Doctors; Nationwide investigates the work of the Radiophonic Workshop in 1983; and a group of schoolchildren give their views on the series in Take Two from 1984.The Grumbleweeds enjoy their own exciting adventure in Dr Nobbut-Just; 'Ann Robinson' menaces the Doctor in Dead Ringers; and Jane Asher plays the Doctor's grandaughter in "Whatever Happened to...Susan Foreman?" Rare interview material includes Frank Bough's Nationwide encounter with fourth Doctor Tom Baker (plus Mary Tamm and Carole Ann Ford), Lalla Ward's appearance on Multi-coloured Swap Shop, and a mid-Eighties radio interview with Sarah Sutton. There are also features on the brand new "Doctor Who", including comments from Russell T. Davies and Christopher Eccleston, and even the seal of approval from Michael Grade.

Three volumes in and the BBC are now struggling to find choice clips for these, so they have to throw together whatever is left. This includes the soundtrack to some tv interviews, so it's not clear whether the visuals for those survive or not.
The 'whatever happened to susan?' programme obviously had to turn up on one of these eventually. I'd never heard it and wasn't expecting much but it turned out to be pretty good.
There are assorted interviews from all over the years of the show presented in no particular order.
There's a live performance Jon Pertwee and Elizabeth Sladen did at goodwood races. This is an interesting curio but the sound is poor and the script is awful, and doesn't work without visuals.
And lots of news items from 2003 when the return of the show was announced. It's fascinating to listen to these now and hear the usual jokes about cheap production values. These would never happen anymore in the wake of the new series.
We also have three hugely funny clips from the impressions show dead ringers, which are almost worth the price of the CD by itself.
A very mixed bag in the end, and not an essential purchase, but it does have some good moments
