Doctor Who is a BBC television series. Related to Blake's 7 due to the many cast, crew and locations the two programmes shared during their productions. Series creator Terry Nation also most notably created the Daleks for Doctor Who. In fact almost every director who worked on Blake's 7 had also worked on Doctor Who. A notable exception is Vere Lorrimer, who never directed Doctor Who (although he did make an uncredited cameo as a tour guide in the 1988 story Silver Nemesis).
