Doctor On Display: Longleat | Reeltime Pictures | Doctor Who

Available Now from Reeltime Pictures!

In the early 1970s, the BBC decided to launch a series of exhibitions featuring monsters and props from Doctor Who.

Over the next three decades, untold thousands of children (and adults too!) were thrilled by a mix of innovative, exciting and stunning extravaganzas!

For many fans, these exhibitions were their first and only real chance to get close-up to their favourite TV programme … and the memories they share in this innovative documentary series are bound together by interviews with experts and people who actually worked at them!

In the early 70s, the Marquis of Bath, on the lookout for anything that would encourage more visitors to his estate at Longleat, decided that Doctor Who would be just the ticket!

In this production, we go behind the scenes in Wiltshire to reveal the story of Doctor Who’s longest running exhibition, meeting the people who made it all happen, and those who visited … often many times a year!

There’s drama, celebrations, days out and fire! It’s all here!

the ninth doctor always goes crazy to me because he wasn't an ambivalent god. he was the benevolent, scarred, and cynical god who cared because he couldn't not. when no one else did. because if he didn't do something, no one else would. he was the one with the power, the responsibility, and it hurt him constantly. every life he watched burn out was a tragedy -- a loss. he kissed a servant girl on the head who no one would remember. he closed the eyes of a dead man. he mourned a pig the military shot. he cared them all, no matter how insignifigant and fleeting their lives could have seemed to his. he was a little mean and a little rude and a lot angry (at everyone at everything) but he also had so much joy. he loved knowing he'd lose. and when he regenerated, he simply looked to rose with that big grin on his face and told her she was fantastic -- and so was he.

Oh you so desperately want to be a rabid animal. You put on a violent act, snarl and bite anyone that comes into contact with you, pushing away everyone you can, putting on an act that the people want to see, playing into their expectations of what disease truly is.

You so deeply wish there was some simple explanation for it. Some easy-to-define reasoning as to why you act the way you do. Why you can't stand the way their hands reach out to you in kindness. Why it makes you feel sick. You so desperately want to call it a disease, a malady, a virus, when you're just scared. You've been scared all your life. You've been gnashing your teeth before they can bite you first for as long as you can remember.

But I know what a rabid animal looks like and it is not you. You are not fatal. You are not doomed. You're acting because it's all you know how to do anymore, and I can see right through it.

Doctor Who, "The Robots of Death," 1977.

ooh I see, in Pyramids of Mars pt2 the Doctor takes Sarah Jane to look at 1980 if they don't stop what happens in 1911, and it's an apocalyptic wasteland, so when you're watching the Beatles episode in 2024 you're supposed to go like "hey just like in Pyramids of Mars!" and then you're thinking about the exact right episode.

You know, if you already had watched all of Doctor Who before this year instead of say, hitting the current plot twist related episode today. :P

We're doing a powerpoint party at work for a holiday thing and I was joking around with my boss about what my topic should be and I threw out a couple including 'assigning everyone a fursona' and she was like wait, stop. Do that one. The fursona one. So I guess I've progressed from assigning all of you fursonas to assigning people I know in real life and see every day fursonas

Nothing will baffle me more than my current-roommate-then-pal brought me a pinned tarantula hawk, a tarantula hawk they fucking ignorantly picked up with their bare fucking hand and casually scooped into a baseball cap they wore just because they thought it looked neat and knew i’d like it. And it somehow didnt sting them

Jillian had considered asking when first Mother Superion evaded her advances in daylight. Was it guilt, shame, fear? Did her God condemn their love so that they might only kiss in shadow?

But in time she understood.

Just as Suzanne prayed more fervently in the cool, welcoming darkness of a temple, so did she kiss Jillian more ardently away from prying eyes; it was a ritual, born out of devotion rather than disgrace.

The girls knew, but the Mystery was forbidden to them.

Kissing Suzanne over and over in the heart of night, Jillian lost herself in their sacred rites.
