This section of the website aims to bring together recollections from fans who have been fortunate to be present at the filming of Doctor Who, both from the 21st and 20th Century versions of the show.

Please note that any reports relating to stories not yet broadcast might well have spoilers within them, unless explicitly stated, so don't read them if you don't want to find out something about the story! Also, opinions contained within reports are those of the writers and not the responsibility of the site maintainers!
