Thank you goes to Blink for this fantastic DVD Cover...

As the TARDIS crew return to the earth of the near future the Doctor is greeted by a mysterious android calling himself A.R.N.I.E. and claming to know the Doctor, however as things quickly go from bad to worse the Doctor and his companions are drawn into a web of lies and deceit that soon turn out to be hiding something with a much darker agenda. Who or what is this A.R.N.I.E? And how does he know the Doctor?

Episode 3 - Prince of the West Snippets

With episode three released this weekend I am posting with the regular snippets post to hopefully whet appetites and the like. I also hope to post either tomorrow or Wednesday with the pre-credits sequence just to gauge opinion on the new subtitle lengths. After comments about the first two episodes I have attempted to put the subtitles up for longer; anyway snippets...

1. After having a wardrobe update Tabitha has an encounter with a sleazy sheriff.

2. Then promptly staggers back to the TARDIS a little less worse for wear.

3. Look closely and you will Timothy has his own sonic screwdriver.

4. Its the Wild West, I simply had to do a shootout, but not how you might think.

5. You may want to listen very closely to the prophecy made at the end of the episode.

Series 1 - So far so good!


With the first two episodes having been released I am pleased to see that I have received very good reviews so far. The episodes have definitely increased traffic to the site, I got three hundred alone over the course of last weekend, which is always good.

I am always pleased to hear peoples opinions on the episodes and I agree with the comments about some of the subtitles not being on screen long enough to read...henceforth I shall be attempting to remedy this from episode 4 onwards...as I have pretty much completed episode 3 now.

I also hope people have been watching carefully as there have already been a few minor referrences and glimpses of new and different story arcs that I shall attempt to weave into the overall arc. Thank you again for the support and I am truly appreciative of the comments and constructive critiques., it has been an honour to have bloggers such as blink, Dan Harma, Nebula 1 and patar as well as many others watching the episodes and long may that continue. Be sure to keep checking back later on this week for more episode three snippets and information.

Episode 2 - Sins of the Fathers

I am pleased to be able to reveal the second episode of my fan series, Christel Doctor Who, Sins of the Fathers.

In the distant future the Doctor, Timothy and Tabitha encounter super sized lizards and the fiendish Azmael foundation, but who lies at its dark and mysterious core and just what is causing these super sized freaks?

Enjoy...


And whilst we are on the subject of Doctor Who series be sure to check out DanHarma's 10th Doctor script series. It started today on his blog (here) and I must say is awesome!

Sins of the Fathers - Snippets

Episode two, entitled Sins of the Fathers, is now only two days away today sees five teaser points about the episode for speculation and discussion...

1. The Doctor makes a reference to his 'Leather jacket days', and in doing so pays homage to the ninth Doctor.

2. The episode includes the caption, "about" 3 years ago.

3. Some of the locations for this epsiode are rather smelly.

4. The episode sync's directly into episode three with the Doctor receiving a 'signal'.

5. There is a very interesting cameo right at the end.

Episode 2 - Sins of the Fathers will be exclusively on www.christelfilms.blogspot.com on Saturday 24th April 2010.

Christel Doctor Who Episode 1 - New Beginnings

Although it has taken a long time and a few abortive attempts at a series I am pleased to be posting today to release the first episode of my new Christel Doctor Who Series. Entitled New Beginnings this episode marks the culmination of months of work and possibly even years worth of writing. I hope you all enjoy watching it and look forward to hearing your thoughts. It is embedded below and is probably best watched in full screen mode.

Without further ado may the journeys of the 11th (Christel Films) Doctor commence...

Series 1 Story Arc

I posted a while back about the story arc for series 1 and I am writing today with a little update as I am now coming to write more of the episodes. First off, let me inform you that there is a story arc, and that it is hopefully quite difficult to spot until one moment in the last few episodes, which, is planned to be an "Oh yeah" moment and then may even make you watch earlier episodes back to find the bit that you missed...hopefully. *Crosses fingers*

I also intend to start and finish a few other story arcs throughout the course of the series as well. For instance, it was pointed out to me after the final special last year that it wasn't clear how Timothy Jackson came to know the Doctor in the first place. Even though we know that he is stuck in a timeloop we don't yet know he came to meet the Doctor.

I must point out though that I have avoided trying to put too much into episode 1. I really wanted to just establish the characters whilst keeping some semblance of a story. Plus I only really had 15 minutes to play with as well and I didnt want to rush things too much.

That rounds things off really. The next time I post will be to release episode 1 and then it will have started. Fun times lay ahead (I hope) and I am quite excited about people getting to see the series.


Series 1 : 1 Day to Go

So this time tomorrow New Beginnings will be being uploaded for you all to see. Im so very excited and cant wait for some feedback. Today I am releasing five teaser points about the episode (How very Digital Spy of me) just to whet appetites.

1. The woman that is attacked in the pre-credits scene is actually the same character that I used to portray Rose Tyler in the specials last year...I should add that it actually isn't Rose! But I needed a female character quickly and so employed that one again.

2. We see that Timothy has a rather bad habit; we also see him indulging in it during his first appearance. This soon earns him a quick telling off.

3. We find out that the new Doctor has made some modifications to the TARDIS...some quiet significant.

4. Tabitha is a newspaper reporter and in typical journalist stylee is not shy to ask the odd question or challenge an opinion every now and again.

5. There is a location link to the specials from last year to spot. The Doctor takes Tabitha somewhere that is familiar to both himself and Timothy.

Just a few teasers and things to look out for as you watch. My apologies for not posting yesterday but I was very busy exporting and fine tuning the episode.
