Episode 1 Is Nearly Here

Episode 1 of Doctor Who: Second Life is just a few months away from broadcast, and oh what treats do we have in store for the fans of our show!

The story continues the adventures of the 13th Doctor played by Kerain Twine inside Second Life, but now his life is at stake.
Episode 1 picks up from a point in his life where he is searching for answers to his missing regeneration from number 12 to 13 and continues a theme first established in DWSL: A Tear in Time.

The Doctor will meet the Daleks in more then one canon show form in 2 differnt scenes as well as the new designed Cybermen! This is what makes us stand out, we can design anything we want and our Cybermen are very different to those we've seen before. yes they shout "delete!!!" yes they stomp around, but our ones....CAN FLY. Yes fly. How cool is that??
We'll return to Port Bababge first seen in the Angel and be reunited with Gregory Hutchinson who was denied a place onboard the TARDIS. We're also off to the cafe 80's in HILL VALLEY and a few more all in 1 episode. This one really sets the bar and opens up alot of questions we've asked before, as well as a few cheeky suttle answers to others. Approx running time = 30 - 45 mins.

The wormholes seen in the Angel and a Tear in Time twice are also back and we still have NO clue what they are or who controls them. All will be revealed soon. We'll keep you updated right here.

Episode One: The Candidate is due to air January 2012.

The End & a painful regeneration

Well ladies and gentlemen, this is it. TwineLight Media's Doctor Who: Second Life will end in 2013 with the death of title character in his 13th incarnation. orignally TLM were not going to regenerate the Doctor and have him finally be laid to rest in the emotional finale, but since then Marc Warner, MDWTV asked if he could continue to show on his channel, and actually be a New Doctor. We then worked out a way to allow the Doctor to regenerate, even though he beleives his time is up. The regenerational element of the show can be reused in the future by other Doctors should Marc want to regenerate. But the Doctor, Twine, will "die".

The epic and final ever TLM episode, The End, is due to air in 2013 near the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. The End will see the Doctor fighting for his life against a new enemy we've never seen before in canon of fanon stories. Many old companions from the canon show, and the TLM stories will reappear and some will die. Another exciting element is that many other show characters that I love will also fight along side the Doctor such as the autobots, Star Trek Enterprise, Thor and Captain Jack HARKNESS!!!!!

The Doctor's regeneration will happen about 3/4 of the way through the story and not right at the end. The episode will close with a new TARDIS and a new Doctor picking himself up and carrying on. Twine's Doctor is not like other Doctors, he is a very angry and isolated man who travels alone.

The End is due out 2013, Nov.

The End in Nigh

Well we're very very close to having everything written and ready to shoot for the remainder of the series, and finally my much antisipated finale "The End". I have to say, getting it out of my head and onto paper, and soon onto the screen of hopefully millions will be a job well done and a sigh of relief. So, what and where are we going with it all? What will be the overall message we give to fans? Read on...

First of all, we return during August 2011 for the second part of A Forbidden Reality by Ryan Gargett. In the original script the character of Jillian was in fact going to become my companion and travel with the Doctor until the finale, but with a few ajustments Jillian will not be joining the TARDIS and the Doctor is once again left alone. This episode will also be the last of the season one.

During recent talks with Marc Warner, owner of MDWTV, we're working on a christmas story together right now ready for release Xmas 2011. TLM were not going to produce a Xmas story this year but now with proper planning we're going to. The story isn;t ready yet, but it will involve a young 1st Doctor running into me. At first I was thinking "not another Doctor Doctor crossover story" but we'll do it in a non lame way. There will be no merging TARDIS in this story. But it gives my Doctor a chance to visit his past so we can see and use certain sets created in world that we've not yet had a chance to show.

And then, in 2012 (unknown date as of yet), we return for our full season two of DW:SL. Our first story called The Fixer which is shooting right now, see's the Doctor return to Babbage after the Angel to aquire Gregory Hutchinson as a companion. This story, for the Doctor is infact a long while in his timeline. After christmas the DOctor goes on a journey we won't see on screen and he returns for Greg for a reason. The Fixer see's Gregory kidnapped 4 days prior to the return of the Doctor by a Time Traveller called the Fixer. We'll get to revisit an old control room from the canon series and see a bit more of the TARDIS also. Anotehr exciting addition is that the Master's control room will also feature towards the end of the story, but the Master isnt present. Gregory and the Doctor disappear on an adventure together, but the Doctor has another motive.

Episode Two will see Gregory and the Doctor trapped on a starliner when something mysterious begins to happen. This episode will reflect the DW story "Midnight" but it'll be a bit more scray.

Episode Three see's the Doctor and Gregory land in Hill Valley at some point in the future. This story will be a universal crossover to the BTTF franchise as something is hidden in the town. We'll also get to meet an old enemy of the Doctor we've not seen for quite some time in both fan and canon shows. We'll also get a message that'll lead into the next story where Gregory is left alone in the TARDIS and the Doctor disappears in a way no one will see it coming.

Episode Four will be the mid season finale which will see the return of the Fixer, Cybermen, and of course the Master! The Doctor is trapped inside an impossible location, chained, beaten and with another person whom has met before but doesn't remember, and the other is the Officer from the Angel and the Fixer stories who we last saw enter the Master's TARDIS at the end of the Fixer story. The ending will see the Doctor fall furhter then has ever before and then some. It'll be left on a cliff hanger until we return either same time 2013 or end of 2012.

To avoid spoliers about the second half of the season, we'll keep quiet about whats to come, but what we will talk about is the End.

THE END, BY KERIAN TWINE
The End will be our last ever episode/story of DW:SL. It'll see the 13th Doctor in his final battle with evil as e tries his best to save creation from the threat of a Dark Lord. The original idea was to introduce OMEGA back into the stories but this has somewhat changed because I wanted to battle someone new and different then OMEGA. The End will feature something never done in animated machinima from SL before, and that is a war. Forces of Darkness will circle the Earth as the Doctor tries his best to defeat the greatest Dark Lord of all time. We'll also have STAR TREK ships, STAR WARS Jedi and Sith and HARRY POTTER death eaters involved along with many Doctor Who monsters and some new ones.
The final scene of the show has already been filmed to avoid spoilers and is ready to be used. But one thing I can promise is that in this story there will be no "reverse of time" or anything of the sort. No reset buttons no nothing. Whatever happens will stay in the mythology of our show.

The growing popularity of our show should see the finale get the maximum amount of views it deserves.

The End will air a few months after the last 4 stories, we'd like to air Jan 2013 or Summer 2013.

The Series - Update

I've not posted in a while, because well...I've had nothing to say, that is *drum roll please* until now. Progress of the Purge.

The Purge episode is nearing completion, and I've nearly edited it fully. The story see's the Doctor wake up on the mysterious Island from the TV drama, LOST where his TARDIS is buring and rebuilding.

I decided after our previous episode "A leap of Faith" to revamp our Doctor Who show, to something more dark, emotional and scary. Even though our Snook is a wonderful set for our hero, I felt a new TARDIS was needed to demonstrate this is a continuation of our established story, while starting new and fresh. So, the TARDIS is first seen on the Island, buring.

Now many questions arise in the first 4 mins of this episode such as; why is it buring and rebuilding? Why was he brought there? And where is the show going? These questions are going to be left open after this episode because we can't wrap it all up in 1 hour. Our story spans quite far, and the Purge is just step 1.
Originally, we were going to have the woman inside the Hatch travel with the Doctor because "thats what she is supposed to do", but after finding it hard to find a female who wanted to continue in the show after 1 episode, we decied to change to a man. They were going to join the TARDIS crew, but we found it better if the Doctor was actually rejected and left alone once more. Therefore he is searching for someone who wants him again. This is the Doctor's final life, so the heartache of being alone is slowly killing him.

The new console room won't be revealed until the episode airs in December, but its a winner. Its different to our previous, while keeping the classic feel and new series look. It suits the Doctor rather well, and we're proud to bring back the St John's Ambulance logo back to the box shell.

Our ememy of this episode; The Cybermen. We've got an exclusive new Cybermen outfit never before seen in any show in the history of Doctor Who, so look forward to that. :-)
We're also introducing something new and fresh into these new runs of story; a second timeline. For those who are fans of LOST will know what it is, but those who don't are in for a treat. All I'm going to say is, at the end of the Purge, you'll be confused and wanting to know why or how the Doctor exists here and why he is regenerating.

The Purge is episode one; running at approx 1 hour due to come out December 18th. Our 2nd & third episode's are Davros & the Daleks, where the Doctor retuns to Babbage 4 years after the Angel to find Greg missing and Davros working on "something wonderful". Episode 4 will see us on Mars; before shooting back to Earth and beginning our long finale with a new race of mosnters known as the End.

The Purge; nominated for an SL award, will air December 2011.
