BBV Productions is a UK-based video and audio production company founded in 1991, specialising in science fiction drama. The company has expanded to include publishing of novels and scripts associated with its productions.

Origin

Company co-founder Bill Baggs<!-- the Wikipedia page Bill Baggs is about a different person --> is a longtime fan of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, and BBV productions often involve characters or actors from that series. It was originally founded as Bill & Ben Video. The "Ben" in the company name is the nickname of Bill Baggs's wife and fellow company co-founder, Helen. Marian Baggs, the mother of Bill Baggs, also operated a second distribution chain on behalf of BBV.

BBV's first production was Summoned by Shadows (1991), co-produced with the BBC Film Club. Partly as a homage to Doctor Who, which Baggs was a fan of, and partly in a pragmatic attempt to take advantage of a pre-existing audience. BBV's next production was The AirZone Solution? in 1993 and involved four of the five surviving actors who had played The Doctor. A new PROBE film was released 15 April 2015 with Hazel Burrows taking over from Caroline John as Liz Shaw.
