Stranger than Fiction

Gary Russell of Marvel Comics' Doctor Who Magazine investigates the world of BBV. In a relatively short space of time and with relatively small amounts of money, Bill Baggs has produced a series of videos which have a special appeal for Doctor Who fans. Stranger Than Fiction looks at the development of BBV's production techniques, through story, rehearsal and shooting. There's a chance to discover the origins of the scripts, as well as to see lost scenes from the Stranger videos and The AirZone Solution. This fascinating behind the scenes story is told with revealing, on the spot Hi-8 footage, together with exclusive star interviews.

Directed by Nicholas Briggs, Stranger than Fiction leans on a strong ensemble — Gary Russell, Bill Baggs, Colin Baker — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1994.
