Doctor Who has a devoted fan following who regularly meet at conventions to discuss, debate and sometimes argue over their favourite programme.
The Panopticon Tapes feature vintage highlights from Britain’s largest conventions which were originally organised by The Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS).
