Type 40 • A Doctor Who Podcast

Episode 163: Reel Times with Keith Barnfather

There’s the official Whoniverse of Doctor Who: on telly and in officially licensed media and extra programming: that’s big enough! But on the flipside exists an even larger, wilder and more industrious domain of the UNOFFICIAL…

Our returning guest, Keith Barnfather has been there pioneering much of that! For over four decades now, he’s been running Reeltime Pictures. A small, independent production company mostly known for their line of Who-related documentaries, dramas and especially their long form interviews with cast and crew of the classic series. Hosts Antony and Dan sit down with Keith to talk about himself, this time! Those accomplishments and more. Recounting trials and triumphs along his way and teasing future productions and plans, as he always does! What a pleasure it was, to welcome Keith Barnfather back for another conversation here on our long running Doctor Who Podcast. Returning for 2026! You can listen in HERE now:

In early November 2025, the veteran character actor, arguably most famous Time Lord of the all, Tom Baker was formally honoured by the Crown with an MBE for Services to Television. With a small number of friends and colleagues in attendance... One of whom was photographer Oliver McNeil.

Oliver's quite the character himself; a trusted personal friend and sometime creative collaborator of the Fourth Doctor legend. He joins us for this exclusive interview with regular Dan Hadley.

Their conversation covers not only Tom Baker's investiture itself, but their long friendship and Oliver's own extraordinary creative range. Enhanced with his own captivating photography for this video edition of our long-running Doctor Who Podcast on the Fandom Podcast Network HERE:
