A.R.N.I.E. Series 1 News

Since series 1 of Christel Doctor who finished I have been busy beavering away on the first series of the spin off entitled ARNIE. Based around the robot protagonist of the same name that featured in episode 6 of Christel Doctor Who, the series teams ARNIE up with companion Roger Parris (Also seen in series 1 of Christel Doctor Who) as the two hunt for clues about ARNIE's past and ultimately try to find out who created the robot.

ARNIE's special ability is that he is fitted with a working perception filter so he can disguise himself as any person that he has been in contact with; something which is bound to get him into trouble from time to time.

The first series will feature 5 episodes (Previously 6) of approximately 10 minutes in length. There will be two two-part stories and one one-part story to open the series. I shall produce this series in the same way as Christel Doctor Who but use new overlays to give the episodes more of a comic book theme and so separate them from the parent series.

In terms of a release for the series I am still hoping to have it ready by the last week of Novemeber so that it runs almost up to Christmas and is then followed by the Christel Doctor Who Christmas Special. Although it is set in the Christel Doctor Who universe don't expect to see the Doctor in this series. I want it to stand on its own and whilst it will follow Christel Cannon and the Doctor may be mentioned there are no plans for a special guest appearance.

Later in the week I shall post with episode names and begin disclosing more information closer to release. On a final note. The New banner for the blog reveals the logo for the Series. Enjoy...

p.s. Christel Doctor Who Series 2 news coming soon...

Been a rather busy day in the Christel Doctor Who world!

The logo for A.R.N.I.E. looks great, and I'm sure this series will be brilliant!
