It follows the development of releasing Doctor Who episodes on VHS, with several people who grew up obtaining VHS and how they all felt about retrieving Doctor Who episodes, including purchasing them for ridiculous prices on the "black market."
Points made in the documentary include:
The original prices of VHS in 2009 currency.
The differences between Target Books' novelisations and the actual episodes.
The deterioration of generation copies made from off-air recordings.
What was it like in the days before commercially released videos, when TV was as ephemeral a medium as theatre?
How did Doctor Who fans enjoy old episodes of their favourite programme?
All is revealed in this new documentary.
