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.
