| Doctor Who - The Scripts |
 BBC Books have
announced that they have plans for an ongoing series of large format Doctor Who
- The Scripts books that will eventually cover the entire series. The
much-delayed launch has been rescheduled for later in 2001, and the series will
begin with Season Twelve, (The
Fourth Doctor's first five stories).
Titled "The
Scripts: Season 12" the first book was to be published in November 2000 but has
been delayed due to clearance problems. It was hoped that it would be released
in April 2001 but this has now been put back until October 2001.
According to
Justin Richards, a contributing editor, the book will be "heavily illustrated
in both black and white and colour. There will be complete camera scripts (not
the camera instructions though) for each of the season 12 stories, plus 'front
matter' consisting of a review, background production notes, transmission, cast
& crew details, etc. Each script will be heavily annotated to show
deletions, additions and specific production details".
The scripts
will be feature extra detailed annotation, and will feature extensive
production information supplied from the
In-Vision
magazine.
Other members of the team involved with this project are
Barnaby Harsent who is co-editor and Andrew Pixley who is the book
consultant.
It is understood that a second volume is already being
planned. "The Scripts: Season 7" will cover the first season of the
Third
Doctor season. It will only get the go ahead depending on healthy sales of
"The Scripts: Season 12". This second book could be available for sale early in
2002. |
