| Doctor Who on the Radio |
 Rumours have been
circulating for some time that a new Doctor Who radio play has been
commissioned for BBC Radio 4 for a possible broadcast in February 2001.
It
has now been revealed that this is in fact true and that the BBC has
formally
commissioned this radio project. Recent
information suggests that the radio drama bears the provisional title "Doctor Who: Death Comes to Time".
At least one episode is definitely being made, and if sucessful a whole
series is likely
but not officially definite.
It will star
Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh
Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace. It has also
been revealed that comedy actor Stephen
Fry has apparently signed on to play a role
in the production. However, it has been stressed that this story will
not
be a comedy but will develop a new take
to bring forward darker aspects of The Doctor's
character. It is set after the last televised story "Survival".
The
BBC also announced that they are keen for fans to get involved by experimenting
with acting and contributing some of the
sound effects by sending tapes into
the BBC. The deadline for this was the 15th
July. It would seem that you wouldn't get paid for this if your tape
is used, but you'll have been in Doctor Who!
This news will know doubt cause even more rumours
and as soon as anything more is released by the BBC I will let you
know.
