By the mid-1980s, Doctor Who had become a mainstay of the television landscape, with a burgeoning international following to boot. While fandom had become more organised, with the likes of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society holding annual conventions, it would still be a number of years before fan communities like this became as big a part of the mainstream as they are today. We join Radio 4’s Allan Smith who casts a bemused, and very 1980s eye, over the world of Doctor Who fans. Contains language and attitudes of the time. Producer: Susan Snallham
