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 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. Pre-recorded interviews with Jon Pertwee, Frazer Hines and Deborah Watling also featured.
There was also a visit to a US Doctor Who convention, with interviews conducted at the 11-12 August 1990 "Unicon 90" event in Concord, San Francisco.
