Audio Visuals is an unlicensed Doctor Who fan audio series of the 1980s. Featuring Nicholas Briggs as the Doctor, twenty_six audio plays were recorded and distributed on audio cassette between 1985 and 1991 (a pilot, in which the Doctor was voiced by Stephen Payne, was recorded in 1984). The first three seasons (released 1985-1988) were produced by Bill Baggs, and the fourth and final season (1989-1991) by Gary Russell.
Many of those involved in the Audio Visuals went on to work in professional science fiction audio drama, either through BBV (founded by Bill Baggs) or through Big Finish Productions (who in 1999 began producing licensed Doctor Who audio drama under the guidance of Gary Russell). Nicholas Briggs has worked for both BBV and Big Finish as an actor (notably in two plays for BBV in which his amnesic space traveller might have been the Audio Visuals Doctor) and as a writer.
Several Audio Visuals scripts have been remade professionally, either by BBV (with the Doctor Who elements removed, as part of the video series The Stranger) or Big Finish (as licensed Doctor Who audios). Elements from various Audio Visuals plays appear in Gary Russell's contributions to the licensed Doctor Who novel ranges published by Virgin and the BBC, most notably in Deadfall.
A series of 80 color slides (delivered in a box, sequentially arranged) designed to be the fundamental (mandatory) presentation of the formal officiating clinic, as well as a key presentation in the shorter ‘Rules Clinics’.
They serve as a visual aid and as a guide as the instructor leads the students through virtually all the rules, pausing to explain the principles depicted by each slide.
It’s only by using this visual presentation that the instructor can assure that the student will be exposed to all the necessary concepts.
