The Megeve Experiment

In July 2002, a distinctive experiment unfolded as Doctor Who actors Sophie Aldred and Deborah Watling traveled to France with director Christopher Barry. The goal was to educate and entertain a group of fans, providing them with insights into acting for theatre and screen.

Throughout the week, six Doctor Who fans engaged in various activities to develop their talents, culminating in a dramatised rehearsal directed by Barry. This experience not only allowed the fans to perform in front of the camera but also marked the first meeting of characters Victoria and Ace, bridging the gap between fans and the professional world of Doctor Who.
