Galaxy's regular "31 West" programme was renamed "31 Who" for a special Doctor Who Weekend, which aired Saturday to Sunday, 22-23 September 1990. It was hosted by 31 West's regular presenters Debbie Flint and Shyama Perera, with ex-Doctor Who producer John Nathan-Turner as guest host.
The weekend-long schedule featured screenings of several complete Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee stories, some of the rare "orphan" episodes, the two Peter Cushing Dalek movies, plus documentaries (such as Whose Doctor Who and Doctor Who's Who's Who) and a fan quiz (featuring one of the editors of this very website!).
There were also many specially-filmed in-studio interviews with cast and crew: Sylvester McCoy, Carole Ann Ford, Elisabeth Sladen, Peter Purves, Wendy Padbury, Terrance Dicks, Bob Baker & Dave Martin, Barry Newbery, Raymond Cusick, Pat Godfrey, Peter Hawkins, Mervyn Haisman, Nicholas Courtney, William Russell, Jennie Linden, John Freeman (of DWM) and Waris Hussein.
