Doctor Who at the BBC Volume 2

was the second release in the Doctor Who at the BBC series, produced by BBC Audio.
It featured a variety of audio clips on the subject of Doctor Who, mostly from BBC Radio programmes. The clips, tied together with narration from Elisabeth Sladen, ran along two major themes in this volume. There was an effort with volume two to get audio from every actor to play the Doctor, except for Hartnell, in which the actor talked broadly about the effects of the character upon their careers. Another large portion of the release delved into the issue of violence in Doctor Who, which included the opinions of a number of different respondents, including John Nathan-Turner, Kit Pedler and even ordinary parents from the viewing audience.
== Publisher's summary ==
Elisabeth Sladen presents another time-travelling journey through the history of Doctor Who on BBC radio and television
Our good friend the Doctor may continually jump from the past to the present and back to the future, but he's never really gone away. Since 1963 he has had a massive influence on our popular culture – as this second volume of rare material indicates.
Doctor Who has long been a favourite source of inspiration, for comedy performances including The Mary Whitehouse Experience, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue and Dead Ringers. It has also provided an endless source of features for programmes such as Nationwide, Pebble Mill at One, Woman's Hour and Talkback. All of these and more are featured here.
We hear from no less than seven of the first eight actors to play the Doctor on TV: Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann all talk about what it's like to play the role, and the effect it has had on their lives. The Doctor's companions are also well featured, with Elisabeth Sladen, Louise Jameson, Matthew Waterhouse and John Leeson popping up in interviews recorded during their time on the programme.
The issue of violence in Doctor Who is discussed by producer John Nathan-Turner, Kit Pedler and some very angry parents; director Paul Joyce takes us behind the scenes on the series; and there's a plethora of news items about the Doctor's many returns since 1989. So hold on to your hats – the latest journey starts here!

* It was in January 2004 (according to the sleevenotes), that BBC Audio launched a plea via the pages of the BBC Cult website, Doctor Who Magazine, SFX, TV Zone and others, for anyone with recordings of Doctor Who radio and TV features between 1963 and the present day to get in touch. The Doctor Who at the BBC series is a collection of such items.
