Warrant Officer John Benton is making a routine delivery for his Brigadier when he passes close to his childhood home. There he becomes trapped in a nightmare world where time stands still. Wartime is the title of a short science fiction film, produced direct-to-video in 1987 by Reeltime Pictures. It was the first professionally produced, authorized independent spin-off of the long-running TV series Doctor Who, and the only such production to be made while the originating TV series was still on the air (it ended in 1989). Produced and directed by Keith Barnfather and written by Andy Lane and Helen Stirling, Wartime followed the adventures of Warrant Officer John Benton of the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce a.k.a. UNIT. During a mission for UNIT leader Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, Benton visits his childhood home where ghosts of the past rise up to haunt him. John Levene, who played Benton on Doctor Who off-and-on between 1968 and 1975, reprised the role for the film. In 1997, this revised version of the film was released, adding a voice-only cameo by Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier. If this isn't on youtube, i am so downloading it.

And it's got Michael Wisher, the original Davros, in it?! And Benton's about to punch someone on the cover there! Excellent! ;D
I've never seen this one, but it certainly looks intriguing.
