Just to keep everyone (or even everytwo) up to date. The script is nearly finished for 'Walkabout' which is due to kick off season 2 and introduce the new companion. Obviously this is still some way off a finished release, but don't worry, we should have it out before Jupiter goes nova. I feel that the FineLine releases have been steadily improving and always learning from past experiences (getting rid of me as The Doctor for a start!), so season 2 should be better than ever. Gareth, I hear this is the last season! Don't tell me we've been hit with hiatus trouble?

If it not bad enough the BBC slyly cancelling our fav prog in '89 but now the fans are cancelling it too. I've a good mind to chain myself to your railings in protest. I suggest we organise a day of action and bombard Gareths Phone line for a day stopping him receiving any orders and offers of actual paid work which is obviously tempting him away from real Who. We must act now without delay, with the frequency of releases we have come to expect, season two will be complete and the finished with shortly before we all retire and draw our pensions - we will have no new Who for our senile dotage (ignoring the amateur ramblings of Big Finish and their like of course). Perhaps we could sue Phatom Frame for breach of their contractual rights! Changing name and now cancelling Doctor Who! Its got the smell of BBC Enterprises about this if you ask me. We need the truth about this insidious plot. I think Gareth needs to be 'persuaded to stay'. Does anyone have any dirt on him? Mark Lenton (obvious pseudonym)

Still its a universe full of possibilities and our stories' fates are only as certain as the next click on the 'Del' key. Now I'm just off to pen a standard letter to send out to fans who write in saying: Thanks for your enquiry. Fine Line likes Doctor Who and when the time is right we'll bring him back. Till then, stay tuned! Gaz (wearing his Hawaian editing shirt) New fantasy audio available from: http://zap.to/fineline

We've heard it all before Powell (I mean Preston). Just think of poor old Joe Binks - unemployed and reduced to panto appearances. And your brilliant scriptwriters left to do audio Emmerdale! You must use the decade we have left to reconsider - for the sake of art!

Rumour has it, the third season will be vastly reduced in length, and I'm afraid Binks could be well on the way out by season 4 (rumoured release date to coincide with the next visit of Halley's comet). Of course it all started going downhill when Hudson quit as The Doctor...

Sorry Mark, that's as much dirt as we have. You could always threaten to get him barred from the Lion of Vienna. That would hurt.

Posts: 212 (01/19/04 08:36:43) Guru Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Wow, this thread started last July. Anyway. The Walkabout script is finished!! Aside from the usual week of fine-tuning ('tinkering'), it's all down. I think it's pretty darned fantastic. And very, very, very silly. The bit where The Doctor turns into porridge has to be heard to be believed. And the new companion (comedy old woman who only ever says the word 'banana') has turned out... er, better than expected. We've got Derek Jacobi as a giant lettuce, David Collings as a camel and Congie Stabisher (a 'talented' newcomer) playing the villain (half-alien, half-chewing-gum). Pushing the envelope? You ain't heard nothing yet!

I'm dissapointed. I was banking on very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very silly!

I've already been doing extensive experiments for the porridge scene and have discovered that a thick mix of Bird's Custard powder might pay dividends. In addition I can announce that thanks to waving a microphone about at the red carpet entrance at a recent awards ceremony, we can look forward to guest appearences by Dame Judi Dench as the assistant torturer, Grant Mitchell as stall lady #3 and Howard from the Halifax TV ads as a wackeeey ring donut with ideas above its station. Also looking forward to how your worked out that tricky second verse in a finale song. Y'know finding a rhyme for 'laseron'? Gaz

It annoys me no end, because it's a stupid term the Americans have invented, means nothing and is generally applied to things which don't. Full read-through by Catherine and myself tonight. She can't wait. I actually had porridge for breakfast in preparation.

It's funny, imaginative and even a bit thoughtful. Plenty of good guest roles, can't wait to record it. For anyone keeping count, the second season now stands thus: 1. Walkabout - Adrian Hudson 2. Madhouse - Zoltan Déry 3. The Chattath Factor - Will Hadcroft 4. The Wreck of the Valarue - Gary Phillips 5. The Curse of the Treasure of Death - Gareth Preston* * Or whatever I decide to call it in the end. I'm can't decide. $:\$ Gaz

It's much sillier than all that and also incredibly good. As Adrian's scripts tend to be and what's all this nonsense about marrying me off? I like babanas. Hate porridge and what's the new title? "Time Travellers Wives"- a story of greed and lust across the premiership dimensions?

We could do the REAL reason the Doctor left Gallifrey, he got caught up in a web of lust, backstabbing and waaaay too much make-up at the Premier Timelord Academy. Expect a big role for the Rani in this! Gaz
