Welcome to the new home of Nothing at the End of the
Lane - the Magazine of Doctor Who Research and Restoration.
From its first transmission in November 1963, Doctor Who,
probably more than any other programme, has charted the
development and history of British television for nearly 50 years.
With a format that always puts constant demands on the
ingenuity and inventiveness on all the production teams involved,
the programme has often been in the forefront in the use of
new techniques and technologies. From its early days in the
small, cramped studios at Lime Grove through to its current
home in the massive Upper Boat complex in Cardiff, the history
of Doctor Who reflects how television as a medium has grown
and developed over the past five decades.
Nothing at the End of the Lane is a magazine which focuses
on the story behind and beyond the making of Doctor Who,
looking not only at the programme's production but also at its
subsequent distribution, archiving, marketing and so on.
The magazine prides itself on being as accurate as possible,
doing so by going back to the primary sources of information -
speaking directly with the people involved with the making of the
programme as well as locating and researching any original
production materials that have survived over the years.
