In 2018, BBV released Sunrise: Love Again, an independent feature film written and directed by Bill Baggs. In late and continuing into , BBV Productions started uploading interviews of various vintages with Doctor Who cast and crew to their YouTube channel, as well as making Sunrise: Love Again available for free as a form of promotion on the same channel. They also revived the series with a series of webcasts, "Case Files" starring a returning Bill Baggs as . These webcasts occasionally featured licensed appearances by, or references to, other DWU elements than P.R.O.B.E., including the from . This preceded the revival of the BBV website in the first half of 2021, which made all of the company's back catalogue (both DWU and otherwise) available as paying downloads as well as permitting the order or preorder of home media releases. A new season of was begun, including original P.R.O.B.E. stories featuring the "new team", as well as the reissuing of the hitherto-unrelated-to-BBV audio series The Minister of Chance as part of the label.

Basically the rule of thumb for fictional video releases is this: did BBV obtain a license from either the or a writer who owned rights to a character in order to make the video? If they did, then we assert that the video is a narrative, and we therefore cover it. On the other hand, if BBV simply made up new characters and cast them with Doctor Who actors, then the video is not a part of the DWU and we don't cover it. Co-Produced Between BBV & Western Union.

But a slightly menacing figure named Koquillion is keeping crash survivors Vicki and Bennett confined to the rocket. The Doctor, however, having been to Dido before, finds things aren’t as they ought to be. Can he uncover the rather delightful twist at the end of the story? Can Barbara manage to not point the flare gun at herself? And can we get a moment of silence for Sandy? It’s time for The Rescue! Oh! And today just happens to be Maureen O'Brien's birthday! How's that for timing?

The Holy Terror
The Doctor Who ShowRegular listeners will know we don't talk a lot of Big Finish on the show. We occasionally mention it in news stories and Rob recently reviewed the new Eccleston box set, "Ravagers", but on the whole we aren't a Big Finish podcast and often point our listeners towards the excellent, Sirens of Time podcast by fellow Aussies Dwayne Bunney and Philip Edney.
Tonight, however, we talk about our backgrounds with Big Finish... what we have and haven't heard... what we'd like to do with our Big Finish listening in the future... and most importantly of all, we review THE HOLY TERROR by Rob Shearman, as voted by YOU.
Before then, of course, we have some news from the past month in Doctor Who, and some mini-topics we want to discuss. You know the drill for our flagship show by now, dear listener.
Hope you enjoy the episode. Contact us anytime, hello@theDWshow.net
