To celebrate the re-release of the Myth Maker interviews in Koch Media’s ‘The Doctors’ series of DVD releases (including the latest release – The Doctors: Monsters!), Nick kindly lent us time out of his busy schedule to chat about his earlier work with Myth Makers and his subsequent work with Big Finish Productions and Doctor Who. Best known as the voice of the Daleks, the Cybermen and countless other alien nasties in the revived TV Series, Briggs also serves as Executive Producer of Big Finish Productions, writing and directing brand new and official Doctor Who audio dramas starring the show’s original cast (including Tom Baker, David Tennant and even the late John Hurt) as far back as 1999. Each Myth Maker video explored the stories behind the making of the long-running programme, and were an invaluable resource for starved Who fans throughout the show’s barren Wilderness Years.Ī huge number of these interviews were conducted by Nicholas Briggs, himself now a major player in the continuing story of Doctor Who. One particular group of fans were the team at Reeltime Pictures, who between the mid-eighties and early-2000’s, produced a colossal number of direct-to-video Doctor Who documentaries and films, each containing eye-opening interviews with the stars and creative forces behind the show (under the banner of Myth Makers). When Doctor Who went off air in 1989, it was the fans themselves that helped keep the flame alive.
