Series 3 is Go!!!

So Series 2 is half completed and my thoughts are now beginning to turn towards series 3, which today I have officially given the 'Green Light' If I'm honest it is the series that I have always been the most excited about. This is because it will be VERY different to both series 1 and 2 of Christel Doctor Who.

Firstly, and as already announced, episode 7 will be the Christmas Special, and actually be a story in the series, which means there will be 6 episodes before Christmas and 6 after. It is the 6 episodes after Christmas that I am the most excited about. This is because they will form one gigantic, and dare I say it 'epic' story. There will be a 6 part story to finish off series 3. I should warn you I have had this planned from the very start of Christel Doctor Who and I intend to use it to round off 95% of the storylines and arcs that I currently have running. Everything literally is building up to this 6 part story...which by the way I already have written.

That means that there is a lot to watch out for and hopefully a lot to get excited about. It does NOT mean Christel Doctor Who is coming to an end though, infact as I write this I have in front of me, on my iPad, a rough story arc for series 4 and 5. Hopefully this means there is still a lot to look forward to from Christel Doctor Who, I really can't wait to show you series 3 though!

Christel Doctor Who of the Week - Lipstick

Rather by coincidence it has come about that one of the more minor plot devices for this series of Christel Doctor Who will indeed be lipstick. That's all I'm saying, but keep watching out for it...it will actually explain quite a lot.

The Finale Starts Here!!!

I am very excited tonight to be able to announce that I have started filming the Christel Doctor Who Series 2 finale. Episode 11, which remember is part 1 of the 3 part finale began filming earlier this evening and work centered on the pre-title sequence. I can officially confirm that it featured the return of Ida Scott as the Oracle, last seen in the Christel Doctor Who Special "The Planet of Souls" in 2009. I am very excited about the finale and I can't wait to show it to you the adoring fans. I can promise it will throw a HUGE curveball into Christel Doctor Who Cannon.

Its all go...

Even though Christel Doctor Who Series 2 is currently on its mid series break work here at "Christel Towers" is still relentless. Here is a brief overview of some of the projects that I am working on at the moment...

- Christel Doctor Who Series 2 (Plannin and writing series 3)
- ARNIE Series 2 writing
- Burkeys Doctor Who Writing
- Christel Films Centerpoint planning
- Torchwood renaissance planning (and soon to be writing)

And I am sure there are things I have forgotten. So lots to do for me...I love it really.

Introducing...Romana

For obvious reasons, I could not do this post prior to Memoirs of a Timelord. But now that the preverbial cat is out of the bag here is Romana, as envisioned by the Christel Doctor Who Universe...

ARNIE Series 2, Episode 1 Title Revealed...

As part of my promise to reveal three of the 5 episode names for series 2 of ARNIE I am happy to be able to announce the second of those episode titles today. Episode 1, the first one of the series, will be entitled...

The Next of Kin

Which means, yes you guessed it...the episode will feature the Next of Kin. I intend for it to be quite a barnstorming story and involve a huge twist towards the end, which will actually answer one of the big questions of Christel Cannon.

Christel Doctor Who of the Week - MARK 2?

In the ARNIE series 1 finale we meet the 'Mark 2" which is supposed to be a robot vastly superior to ARNIE. We also see a similiar robot in the 4th 2009 Christel Doctor Who Special, Endgame. Although it is unclear whether this robot is the Mark 2 or not it seems to be able to manipulate peoples visual cortex in the same way that ARNIE can. A fact proven by the fact that it convinced both the 10th and 11th Doctors that it was Rose Tyler. As of yet it remains unclear as to the true identity of this robot.

(See for yourself)

Centerpoint is Here!!!

Today I am very excited to be able to present my newest animated project. Named simply 'Centerpoint' it is another series based in Christel Doctor Who universe. Centerpoint is not just another spin off though, it will be a fully fledged, voiced action series that will premiere on Christel Films at some point during 2012. I have been developing the idea for some time now and it is intended to stand on its own feet. Eventually the series will have its own website (blog) and the intention is for it to become as popular, if not more so, than Christel Doctor Who.

"So Whats it all about?" I hear you ask, well Centerpoint will focus on the work of the 'Centerpoint Foundation' a group of 7 specialists who travel through time solving problems. Oh yes, thats right, they can travel through time! But I wanted to avoid creating just a Doctor Who Clone so there is a very special twist...which of course you will have to wait and see until the series debuts next year.

At this moment in time I intend for each series ( I've got at least 4 planned at the time of writing this) to run to 8 episodes of approximately 20 minutes each, although they will probably run to 15 minutes just like Christel Doctor Who does. The series should debut next year and I am planning for a release towards Christmas 2012. Now I know that seems a long way away but I have a plan to keep everybody guessing about the mysterious Centerpoint Foundation and "New Team" that it will be recruiting. To give you some idea of what I plan I will tell you that I have taken a lot of inspiration from the way that Marvel is setting up the Avengers, now that doesnt mean Samuel L Jackson will be popping up but I have plans to hopefully whip up a lot of interest in this series.

Below are a few of the first preview shots of the logo...

 Hopefully these shots will give some idea of the direction I want to take with this new series. I want it to be uber-professional! That also means I am taking a leaf out of Burkeys book. I shall be looking for people to create musical scores, write episodes and edit scripts for me. Anyways, I have rambled too much. I hope you are looking forward to this new series...more news coming soon.

Remember...The Centerpoint foundation is recruting...

Series 2 Back in Production

The post title says it all really...today I have put series 2 of Christel Doctor Who back into production. Work focussed mainly on catchups for the two part story that is now episodes 7 and 8 (City of the Damned Part 1 and 2). I plan to film both episodes together and just cut them pretty much in half when I am finished. More news later on in the week.
