And what was the point of this strange excursion which horribly mangles my own continuity?
Well, James Kyle, mad genius that he is, has been enthralling me with his 'full length scripts' of the first series of The New Doctor.
Then he did a second series, which was even better, because apart from some advice and suggestions here and there, the four stories were entirely his own invention. So I got to read and enjoy them, and his plot developments without anticipation. It was almost completely brand new to me and a pleasure to read.
James second series extended the Ian Levine storyline even further, into a rather catastrophic melt down and collapse of the Millennium Group.
So then he started kicking around a third series, and a big finish series. His excerpts from the Big Finish series were enthralling.
So I set my mind to working out how a third series would come about given how horrifically the second series had imploded. I figured that Burton and the show had burned every possible bridge in England, so Burton's only chance would be to take the show on the road, and find unsuspecting innocents who would fall for his line. So... Canadian/Australian co-production. And post 176 through 200.
There's different ways it could come about. I think Kyle was thinking of the BBC massively dropping the ball and almost accidentally committing to a third series.
Maybe there's an American investor that jumps in. That's a workable line.
Doing the Burton and Benedetti Doctor Who storylines, and all their accessories, I find it's not just about Doctor Who per se, but a series of meditations on television and stage. It's fun.
Anyway, here's Kyle's titles for the third series. He's put up a bit in terms of synopsis, which I've used to integrate hints into the narrative.
But these stories, if they're told, will be James....
