Doctor Who Radio Drama
Refused by Radio

 Despite
all the efforts by many people, including Sylvester McCoy and Sophie
Aldred, Radio
4 has turned down the pilot for "Doctor Who: Death Comes to Time".
This is for either an initial broadcast and the option to create a
full series.
Despite it being called 'terrific' by Stephen Fry
and 'brilliant' and 'epic' by Sylvester McCoy the powers that be at
Radio 4 have
turned it down flat. However, there is still
a possibility that BBC Worldwide, who it is believed like it a lot,
may start to negotiate a release under their
BBC Radio Collection label. This is the
same group that releases the Doctor
Who episode soundtracks. There may also be other radio avenues
with Radio 2 considered to be the most likeliest option.
Initially
when this audio drama was being put together
the BBC had commissioned a
pilot episode only. It was hoped that if
the powers that be at the BBC liked it then a full series would follow.
Sylvester
McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Leonard Fenton (Dr.
Legge in Eastenders, Stephen
Fry, Jacqueline Pearce, from Blake's 7 and actor John Sessions
were confirmed for the production and recording was scheduled for October
2000.

As soon as anything official is released by the BBC
on its future I will let you know. |
