Taken Out Of Time, the Shada documentary from BAFTA-nominated director Chris Chapman, was filmed largely on location around the River Cam in Cambridge and features interviews with the story’s stars Tom Baker and Daniel Hill as well as crew members Ralph Wilton, Les McCullum and Olivia Bazalgette.

Oh my dear lord. That sounds wonderful. I have More Than Thirty Years In The TARDIS on VHS, but Shada…well, it's the Holy Grail, isn't it? The one video I always look out for whenever I visit second hand markets.
And a January 2013 release? Just in time for my birthday…
Almost as good as if they'd listened to fans and put the recently "completed" version of Shada out there.
Well that'll be January 2013, I presume – which I had predicted. They usually start a new year with a double boxset.
Looks great. Pity they didn't use Levine's animation though. Wonder if the documentary mentions the Mcgann webcast/audio.
