Voices From the Past

The Doctor Who Appreciation Society has always been interested in the viewpoints of the people who have been associated with the making of the series. Therefore the society’s archive contains interviews with actors, writers, directors, producers and crew that sadly are no longer with us. Their views and feelings sadly died with them, but through the Doctor Who Appreciation Society Archive their memories live on. Contained here are just a handful of interviews from the people that made Doctor Who the success that it is.
