Doctor Who Social Club

Episodes 1 & 3 of The Daleks’ Master Plan will be released on iPlayer 4th April.

Uh-oh, the ~~Angels~~ fans have got the TARDIS!

I remember hearing about this fan film, oh, ages ago. It was definitely after "The timeless children" had aired, because of the similar titles. And I think there was a bit of Jo Martin in the trailer released around that time. And I do like some Fugitive Doctor.

During our current Who gap year, I'm low key curious how this is going to turn out. If nothing else it looks better than a fan production has any right to. The story remains to be seen, but... well, the last official season finale set a low bar.

There are more trailers at the same YT channel, and more information about the project here. For a TL;DR, read on:

So, basically writer/director Stuart Humphries does a lot of vintage and historical photo restoration professionally. And he's a Whovian, so obviously he's made fan colourisation of B/W Who photos and video sequences, too. And fan films compositing bits of different episodes and eras together.

Not that this is a one-man job: there are volunteer VFX and SFX artists, composers, voice actors — as well as some key extras from yore making special appearances. If you watch the trailers you'll see what I mean. The credits list goes on and on.

"The timeless Doctors" is described as a massive reworking of Humphries' previous fan film, "The ten Doctors". First it was supposed to be a feature length film released online for the show's 60th anniversary. Since then it's been delayed, ballooned to 2½ hours' runtime and will apparently come out in four parts sometime this year.

the Morbius Doctors?

I've fallen in love with the Big Finish productions for Who, so this was a no-brainer. Figured I'd share it here for anyone who's interested :)

Since the series has been released in the UK, here are the discussion posts!

I am decidely not in the UK, so I will contribute when I am able. When the series is released globally, I'll put up an index to these threads in hopes that we can get some discussion going. Not ideal, but the best we can do.
