Kara Tointon : Don't Call Me Stupid!

In 2011 Kara Tointon, did a documentary called 'Don't Call Me Stupid' which was about her living with a disability. Dyslexia. Because she is dyslexic Kara finds it difficult to read and process information. In this documentary she goes on a journey to confront her condition in hope of trying to come to a solution to her problem. Highly recommend it.




In Tribute to Kara Tointon


In tribute to a wonderful actress and dancer 'Kara Tointon' who is best known for playing Dawn Swann in Eastenders, but she also won Strictly Come Dancing in 2010.

I think Kara is adorable and basically one of my many inspirations to me. I think she is like me, because she has a disability which affects her way of living, but she doesn't let it hold her back. Anyway, I know making a video isn't anywhere near far off from showing my appreciation for her massive talent. But I thought I'd do a tribute video to add to the list.

DOCTOR WHO : The Woman in White

 Michelle Keegan as The Woman in White
in Series 1 Finale 
'The Woman in White & The Empty Hearse'



Just a quick update for you all about the new audio adventures happening very soon, As far as this series is developing Ideas and coagulation's for the series are coming together remarkably quickly. Even quicker than I had hoped funnily enough which is brilliant for me. It just means I am coming very close into making this series, and getting stuff done.

I can reveal the identity of acknowledging a new character, which will turn out to be a very important character throughout the series. The relationship this character has with The Doctor, goes way back, further than we can possibly imagine. Michelle Keegan is the mysterious 'Woman in White' 

Michelle is ... I can't tell you. Why? because it will ruin the surprise.

All I will say is, she is the 'main' villain in the first series. She will end up being a very important character in her relationship with The Doctor. There will be a story arc threading throughout Series 1 with this character, to build on the contrast in the relationship between this character and The Doctor from there on in.

She's very much like The Doctor in some cases. I mean that in terms of having a lot of mystery to her credit.

She is the mysterious Woman in White, who watches, listens and waits... but for what?

I would just like to reiterate that Michelle Keegan is NOT in the REAL TV Series. She is a made up character in my Audio Adventures series coming next year. Sorry if this has caused any confusion.

You'll have to tune into find out!

Doctor Who Review - The Tenth Planet

This weeks episode review, is 'The Tenth Planet'.

It was the end but the moment had been prepared for. The Tenth Planet stands out as one of the biggest game changing stories in the history of Doctor Who.

Not only does it introduce viewers to the Cybermen for the first time, but it also reveals something that at this point of the time of 1966, we didn't know about The Doctor. If his body becomes too old or is damaged, he can change it...

For 3 Years William Hartnell has starred as the Doctor, a role he loved and helped to create, the curmudgeonly old man, who was brilliant, stubborn, childlike and mischievous, someone who invested that history shouldn't be interfered with, but who consistently broke all the rules...

NEXT WEEK : The Daleks

DOCTOR WHO Exclusive Review - The Time of the Doctor set

Arrived this morning in the post, from Forbidden Planet International. I don't usually do action figure reviews, but this was an exception with it being, new and exclusive.

The Time of the Doctor collectors set is an exclusive to FPI, produced by character options and underground toys.

It's basically three characters in one : The 11th Doctor, The 11th Doctor (old) and The regenerative 12th Doctor. For £29,99 for one figure I'd say maybe a bit pricey, but good to have it in hand.

Doctor Who Review - Destiny of the Daleks

In this weeks review, I look at the undermined Tom Baker story 'Destiny of the Daleks'. Assessing the highs and lows, what is the actual point of this story, besides the fact that it's got daleks in it. Both in the title and in the story?

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW : Doctor Who - Death In Heaven



Last night's finale of Doctor Who finished the series off of twelve consecutive weeks, and closed Peter Capaldi's first full on series as The Doctor. It's a bit sad to see the series end personally, as it's been one hell of a rollar coaster, I can't help but feel that the series has passed too quickly.

Obviously through the series we have had many little snippits of the whole nethersphere storyline, building upto the finalie. Now that we actually are there now, we finally get to understand what that storyline is all about.

Before I begin this review, this review is going to be filled with spoilers, so if you haven't seen the episode and you don't want it to be spoilt, you best stop reading.































Okay, you've scrolled down now so you've either seen it or haven't seen it but still want to know what happens. But don't say I didn't warn you.

So, what did I think of 'Death in Heaven'? It was pretty lacklustre,for me. It didn't do anything for me unfortuntly.

The episode starts off where last week left off. The Cybermen surround the streets of St Pauls, and UNIT barge in and take control. Meanwhile Clara is cornered by a Cyberman and says she's The Doctor as a diversion to stay alive. We are then treated to a daft title sequence with Jenna and Peter's names swapped around, and Jenna's face in the title sequence, and not Peter's. That's just daft. I watched that and thought 'Oh come off it, are you serious?'

UNIT take the operation into their stride and take The Doctor and Missy captive, they take The TARDIS and put The Doctor and Missy on a plane. Missy is left detained while The Doctor becomes president of the group on the plane. It's on the plane we see a big photo monument of The Brigadier, a photo of the old brig from Battlefield, I can recall. I thought that aspect was quite nice. I didn't really get the whole point of the plane, why it needed to be there, what was the point of it, why did they have to be on a plane? I suspect it was there for The Cybermen attack later on and for it to blow up later, for the sake of dramatic interest. Nothing more, other than that don't really get why the plane was there.

Meanwhile Danny gets upgraded into a Cybermen, and kidnaps Clara and takes her to a graveyard, weirdly.
Clara communicates with the cyberman who turns out to be Danny. However, I find it hard to understand how Clara could tell which Cyberman was the one who brought her to the graveyard, if she's surrounded by Cybermen which look exactly alike. Anyway Danny Cyberman is in pain, he requets Clara to switch on the emotional inhipitar, but is Clara does that then Danny will not be Danny anymore, she will be an emotionless machine. Clara doesn't know what to do, so she rings The Doctor.

On the plane, Missy escapes and kills Osgood (Thank god) and two guards. Cybermen then attack the plane and the plane goes down. The Doctor falls out of the plane, lands back in the TARDIS and joins Clara in the graveyard. Where everything reaches it's climax. Death in Heaven was very lacklusture for me. The majority of it was a massive pile of crap! I mean seriously, 1 hour was no where enough time to untangel a very complex knot after last week. Never mind 'Deep Breath' this should of been the 75 minute episode.
For me, personaly I needed more from it, and not something which was below par. It's disapointing that nothing was really explained in full. Just a complete mess, a hole in the ground which was filled by the way with soppy sentimentality and a unsatisfactory plan.





There were some good moments it though, like the deaths of Kate Stewart and Osgood which were done really dramatically, however after the ending I'm left slightly confused as if to weither or not they're actually dead anymore.

Some Cybermen scenes were done really well, like the bit in the graveyard with Clara, where they drag themselves out of the graves and emerge in the morgues. I'm sure that would of given young children watching the shivers.




Michelle Gomez was wonderful as the Master and was just an excellent villain, this demonstrated that we do seemed to have passed the stupid Moffat stereotype woman of snogging and getting hot for the Doctor, and had an actual cold hearted villainess. 


The people she killed, and with such splendour, and were done very Master-ly, I must say! The Doctor's scene in the TARDIS was excellent and the Master truly had the last laugh (how could she not?) 

The trouble is, Moffat didn't bother to explain how the Master, could change into female form. The fact that she was the Master was only occasionally brought up carrying no weight or legitimate reason for being there, so Moffat only made him a woman pretty much for the sake of it and to artificially give last week's cliffhanger some weight. It was just one of those moments 'Oh Hi, I'm Steven Moffat. I can make The Master a woman and not explain any logic behind it, because I'm excutive producer of Doctor Who. I can do whatever the f*ck I like! Now if she was the Rani, it would have been much better, and would of made a lot more sense.

Clara's surprise departure at the end was actually handled really well and much better done than Amy and Rory's farewell. It was kept simple, and to the point and also very affectionate. 

Overall, after watching 'Death in Heaven' I think that, Steven Moffat just needs to go! A lot of the episode was really slow and whilst I love the idea of the Cybermen being able to convert the dead, was it really all just for the Doctor to bring back Gallifrey, or something else?

Either way, Gallifrey's return was surprisingly so unexciting because there was little to no momentum and the climax was just... there. It actually had nothing to do with the plot at all, so why was it there? In the time that was spent fussing about Gallifrey, Moffat could of just used that time to explain how The Master survived the void in 'The End of Time'. How he became a she?

The Cybermen were completely unthreatening, in some places handled incredibly poorly, espeically when Cyber Danny  acted like a regular soldier and commanded all of the Cybermen like proper, human soldiers. Also, the new flying was quite odd, and didn't help the fact that they look like Iron Man.

 

Call it what you like. It just wasn't a proper Cyberman story and Steven Moffat really can't write for the best monsters... and as Missy proved, villains either! Despite weither it was a good twist or not, he ruined The Master. Just like Iron Man 3 ruined The Manderin. 

Clara pretending to be the Doctor was just poor taste as it was only done to make the episode look far more dramatic than it actually was. Just, what did actually happen? Nothing or hardly anything happend in this. I'm still left asking questions about Missy and indeed the whole Heaven arc etc.

The little boy coming back was wishee, washee, namby, pamby soppy sentimental nonsense. It was Danny commiting a selfless act rather than come back and be with Clara again. It didn't need to there, and waitsed scene time. I'm baffled that that scene was in the final cut and not an explination as to how or why The Master is back, and back as a woman!
 
Though the final scene in the cafe was brilliantly suttle and well acted, I am so gutted about Clara! I really liked her! I'm sad that this is the end for her. Farewell Clara Oswald! One of my favouite companions of the new series, since Donna.
 
Overall, It was just a massive pile of crap! I could hear the nails being hammered into Steven Moffat's coffin as I watched it. 0/5 Giving the Series 8 Finalie 'Dark Water / Death in Heaven' 3/10. Such a Shame, getting fed up with Moffat now.

The Christmas Special  Teaser was nice. I literally have no idea what's going to happen next. So let's just wait and see. Nick Frost is Father Christmas. It'll be Christmas before I know it.

COMING SOON From DANBURY Productions : Doctor Who - The Audio Adventures.



The Doctor is back, in audio form that is. Yes, A new series of Doctor Who Audio Adventures starring Me 'Daniel Bury' as The Doctor will launch next year. I'm very excited to start work on these.

Originally the audio adventures were going to start this year, but I decided against it. Sometimes a set back is what an idea needs in order to allow more time to go through things properly.

I listen to a lot of Radio anyway, so I'm very much inclined about what the prospect of writing for Audio is about, there is a budget less limitation with audio which I love, you get to play around with different sounds and tell a story in your own way. It's a very interesting and diverse form of storytelling, which I love. I like doing stuff like this in my spare time anyway, and it would also allow me to take adventures with My Doctor in the TARDIS further. 

The last time you saw my doctor, was in my live action adventure in May 'The Android Invasion of the World'. Now I'm back again, however I'm turning back the clocks a bit. The events you will witness in these series of audio adventures with my doctor in terms of my time stream in 'The Android Invasion of the World' would of already happened, what you're actually doing is going back earlier on into my Doctor's past.

Where he has a new companion, has newly regenerated and developed a taste in thinking wearing white is a good idea. I'd like to try thinking that when my doctor's near a mosh pit.

Anyway, let me fill you in with some of the juicy details I've got planned.

Kara - The Companion

Meet Kara Connor. (Kara Tointon) 31 years old. She's an English teacher at 'Windsor School' in the little village of Stockbridge.

She's someone who seeks adventure where ever she can find it, she takes pleasure out of educating her students in English literature and language.

She's just normal. Is what the basic outline to her character is, she is just a fun, normal girl who likes to be challenged. She's clever, she has a basic knowledge of scientific understanding, She's good at anything she puts her mind to, and she's a trier. She always tries at anything, and always gives 100%.

Also, she's inquisitive. She uses her initiative a lot of the time, she trusts her instincts or gut feeling really well. Doesn't let her guard down too much.



I think her and The Doctor get a long quite well. They clearly are a good match for one another, they can talk about a lot of things like scientific theories and laugh a lot. They are really good friends. They do tend to clash on some things, they don't always agree with one another, they bicker a bit, but not so much that it causes a major catastrophic fall out, The Doctor trusts Kara and Kara trusts him. That's what is the glue to their relationship.

The Doctor

Then of course we get to me. Here are just some of the outfits I will be wearing, throughout the series. The main one of course being the white suit with waistcoat and black shirt, but there are some alterations made, like with Capaldi and his costumes, just so I'm not wearing the same thing every episode.

Main Outfit - White Suit.

























Alteration 1 - Dark Blue, Robot shirt.












Alteration 2 - White Shirt with stripped collar.












Alteration 3 - Dark Blue shirt.













I'll probably just regurgitate these three outfits around my main one for the duration of the first series, at least. I'll come up with other diverse alterations later, but this is just a sneak preview.


That's all for now guys, be sure to keep updated for more information about the series coming soon.

The Chase EXCLUSIVE : Anne Hegerty Gangnam Style Dance!

The Governess, Anne Hegerty showing off her best dance moves. Everybody do the Smug Dance!


EXCLUSIVE REVIEW : Doctor Who - Dark Water



Last Night's episode of Doctor Who 'Dark Water' was certainly a one to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed it, It wasn't anything gob smackingly amazing, but it was a really good episode none the less. Obviously through the series we have had many little snippits of the whole nethersphere storyline, building upto the finalie. Now that we actually are there now, we finally get to understand what that storyline is all about.

Before I begin this review, this review is going to be filled with spoilers, so if you haven't seen the episode and you don't want it to be spoilt, you best stop reading.


Okay, you've scrolled down now so you obviously want to know what happens. But don't say I didn't warn you. 

The story starts off with Danny on the phone to Clara, Clara wants to tell Danny something but before she can Danny obviously walks out into on coming traffic and gets hit by a car and dies. It seems pretty stupid of Danny not to look where he was going before he crossed the road. But what can I say, the character is a moron. So Danny dies Clara is depressed by this, because she's grown to love Danny by this point and they have a relationship between them that Moffat has created to make the audience emotionally engage with their realtionship.

Clara tries to persuade The Doctor to change time to save Danny's life, but The Doctor has other ideas to save Danny, Meanwhile Danny is in the Nethersphere. He meets a guy called Seb (Played By Chris Addison) Danny is obvlious to his surroundings. However it is Seb's job to refresh his memory which he does. I liked all the scenes with Seb and Danny, I thought that those scenes showed Danny's character in a new light and made me as a viewer see him in a different perspective. Chris Addison as Seb was brilliant, really well cast.

As an episode I didn't think it was that bad. Very steady going, very atmospheric and the suspense was turned up to 11. Danny Pink is a moron, obviously. Clara is deluded for loving a moron. The Doctor is horrified, and the identity of Missy is revealed.
 
There were some other idiotic moments, like the kissing greeting scene which was incredibly forced, and the annoying, typical-Moffat witty personas of Missy. However, the plot was interesting if slow in places, the idea was great, pertically the stuff with the Dark Water. I thought that was a clever idea, and I thought the explination to it was clever.



The Identity of Missy is finally revealed. About the whole 'Missy' thing. Missy is The Master. I personally don't mind it so much. I actually give a tip of the cap to Steven Moffat on that one. I didn't see it coming and it's a nice twist, because we genuinely do NOT know how this is going to play out next week and of course it's the big finale. Though I do find it difficult to contemplate just how Missy could be The Master. Not in the context of The Master changing sex, but because Missy was like a hologram thingy. So how could she be The Master?

The Cybermen were hardly in it at all, but again I'm sure they'll be heavily included in next weeks finale.
Everything just resolves back to this big question mark on the end, and that's the power of the cliffhanger, so it's annoying how Steven Moffat can demonstrate the value of having cliffhangers and then the series just does not use them.

Also there's the thing with Danny, will he press the 'Delete' button on the Ipad or will he not? That's a question worth answering. Personally I think he won't because he knows he loves Clara and it will be his love for Clara that will keep him going. I hope.

I'm just overly happy with the way it went, set the boundaries up for next week very well. I would like to award 'Dark Water' a good 3/5. (Good but needed some finer polishing done to it.)

Doctor Who : THE SANDS OF DEATH - AVAILABLE TO WATCH NOW!

AVAILABLE NOW 

DOCTOR WHO : THE SANDS OF DEATH, Starring Colin Baker

This new adventure see's the Sixth Doctor and Kerry confronting a complication within a planet's time stream. They arrive on the planet Dios in the 43rd century. Only to find the planet a decreased waste land, only to return and to the planet earlier on this time in the 42nd century.

It is in the 42nd century The Doctor learns of an genesis pattern happening which could threaten the fate of all life should time continue to run its course.

It's very different to any other 6th Doctor story, I have done in the past. Colin's character has mellowed a lot in this story and understands the danger to the human race as well knowing the fine balance of what points in time are in flux and what points in time are fixed. And what happens on Dios in the 42nd century, must always happen... which is what? ...

NEXT STORY : BATTLE SHIP

The Chase PREVIEW : Lighting Tests 26th of Oct


Hey Guys

Just a quick preview, giving you an ideal insight into the lighting tests done during the post production of tonight's episode of The Chase which is available to watch on my Channel now.

Lighting is a simple and vital key to the success of the cut, because it allows of light and how dark something is in the control of picture post. Lighting is a simplicty of adjusting the frequency when coming down to do the editing of knowing where to cut, what areas need to be shaded, what areas need to be highlighted.

As an example here is an exclusive preview.


Stay tuned for more exclusive content, coming up soon.

Doctor Who Trailer : Flatline


So Doctor Who Flatline is set to broadcast on BBC One and BBC One HD on Saturday the 18th of October at 8.25pm, proceding of course after Strictly Come Dancing, the show which will go out before Doctor Who.

I'm interested, indeed fansinated by 'Flatline' on the basic premise of the fact that I know nothing about it. To my knowledge this was a story I was unaware of, from what I have read in the Radio Times/ DWM about it, the synopsis didn't give too much away as to what the episode was actually about.

I have no idea what this is about or what I'm going to think of it. I'm guessing the only way I am going to find out is to watch it on Saturday and wait and see.

I just wanted to share with you two trailers I thought might be of interest to you. The 'Next Time' trailer which was added on at the end of 'Mummy on the Orient Express' and the BBC One Trailer.

Both very different and provide an insight as to what to expect, coming up in the episode. From what I can gether it's another episode about Clara. What I'm worried about is it seems like another episode dedicated to Clara, and The Doctor is very much in the background. The show is called 'Doctor Who' after all.

Anyway here is the BBC One Trailer for 'Flatline'

The Chase - Specials : Series 4 (October - December)


Hi All

So another series of The Chase has come to an end. But don't worry it's only a matter of short time before the next series of episodes is set to start. More Chase is on the way!

And quite a line up of episodes I've got planned too. There is quite a bit lined up, but all for the satisfaction of my subscribers, hopefully. But let me know what you want out of these videos. If there is any suggestions you think can help make it better, let me know, send me a message. I will get back to you. I am under going changes with this series all the time so It's nothing new. I am welcome to constructive feedback.

So here is a sort of guide to what is coming up.

The series will continue late October and hopefully run through to early December so that will be 8 - 10 episodes in a space of 8 - 10 weeks. It will be the same old spiel where I record the episode, according to my filming schedule and I will edit the episodes accordingly following that on. So each episode will go on my channel week by week, as for dates, I can't say as of yet, but I will get round to it.

Doctor Who AFA : Destiny to Infinity



A look into the up coming Doctor Who Action Figure Adventures, coming soon on my channel this autumn.

Just a quick update to say that filming for projects should start proper next week for a run of stories to finish off the Doctor Who run for the rest of this season.

It's mainly Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker stuff, but at the end of November is a special treat for you, just to take a breather. It's a dabue doctor story with Colin Baker, four part serial written by myself. 'Phantasmagoria'. What's it about? You'll find out. But today I'd like to talk about 'Destiny to Infinity'.


Destiny to Infinity is the one of two fourth doctor stories set up for the autumn/winter season. In terms of coming up with story concepts for new adventures. The Input that I had the idea in my head for this was along the lines of The Doctor being somewhere before, and has made a tremendous impact on the civilization of the Eco-colony and a tremendous impact it was because he comes back with Leela and as time evolved he is worshiped as a god. But is it a good thing or is it a bad thing?


"Synopsis"


The Doctor takes Leela to the planet Dowlas, for an educational trip to show her one of the most Eco-friendly, successful colony only to find that the planet's ecological climate has shifted slightly, and has resulted in the planet becoming a dececrated Ice waste land. The Doctor's curiosity grows when he realises that the eco-colony worship a great god in the form of the statue like The Doctor.


In the mines of the planet, the work force have become slaves to this god. In the image of The Doctor, known only as the mysterious 'Infinity'. Infinity is the commander of the Minions who control the slave force underneath the catacombs of Dowlas.


For the first time in his life. The Doctor confronts 'Infinity' in order to correct a mistake he made when he was on Dowlas before. A very long time ago.


"Writers Notes"


It may interest some of you to know that I actually had the orginal outline idea for 'Destiny to Infinity' back in October 2013, orginally scheduled to go into production by December 2013. Sadly that didn't happen and 'Dalek Wars' took its place. Which wasn't a bad story, it was very well recieved and It's a nice two parter.


Orginally I wanted to create a new 'fourth doctor' enemy for Tom's Doctor to face, only to have the story end with a question mark over what this enemy 'Infinity' was and why it was there. And that there would be a further problem for the doctor to solve and things for him to find out in a later story.


And one day when I was developing 'Sylvester McCoy - Seventh Doctor' stories, I saw that as my oppertunity to fit in the sequel. but more on that another time.

As far as story goes when I was writing 'Destiny to Infinity' along with two close friends James Morrison and Dan Cooper, we had watched various Tom Baker stories in his early days, especially ones with Leela just to get an understanding of the sort of season 14/15 time for reference. Belive me references do help when clueless about writing a new story.


The story may seem a bit difficult to follow, there are a lot of loose ends in this. I admit that this is a story you will have to actually sit down and watch. It's not something you can just click the play button and enjoy no matter what mood you're in. It's a thinking one this one. So thinking caps on guys. Just giving you a heads up!

"Phantasmagoria"

A look into the up coming Doctor Who Action Figure Adventures, coming soon on my channel this autumn.

I apologise that things have been a bit quiet recently, I've to find time and money into getting new filming equipment, It's sorted out now, I hope and filming should start proper next week for a run of stories to finish off the Doctor Who run for the rest of this season.

It's mainly Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker stuff, but at the end of November is a special treat for you, just to take a breather. It's a dabue doctor story, four part serial written by myself. 'Phantasmagoria'. What's it about? I hear you ask, well I will give you a bit of an update about it.

"Synopsis" 

The Doctor has regenerated and Kerry can't believe it. In fact, she doesn't. How can this be, the man she's known to be this charming, sweet, kind person to die and change his face right in front of her. It's a lot to take in when you think about it.

The Doctor has gone a bit gaga, and is very unstable. Which doesn't help matters when the TARDIS goes spiralling out of control, and Kerry has lost control of the TARDIS. With little help from the doctor, Kerry needs to try and find help herself. The only way she can do that is to lock the TARDIS co-ordinates onto the nearest possible planet's gravitational alignment. Which so happens to be Earth 1984.

Kerry tries to help the new doctor as best as she can, but The Doctor is some what confused by his new personar. He can't belive that it's him, a bitterness comes out in him which Kerry has never seen before which in turn doesn't play well in Kerry gaining faith in The Doctor.

A Time Apocalypse collapses in on it's self, allowing The Doctor and Kerry to confront a deadly energy demon hiding out on Earth regaining strength by feeding off the life force of others. The creature then takes an advantage of a time lord being on earth and decides to steal the Doctors remaining 8 lives.



"Writers Notes" - So what did I do to come up with this story? Well obviously I watched 'The Twin Dilemma' and Colin's performance in that. Thought I don't like The Twin Dilemma so much, It helped me a lot in recognising the comparison between Peter Davison's Doctor and Colin Baker's Doctor, in four episodes.

The Show changes as The Doctor changes. The Twin Dilemma did open a new door for Doctor Who and introduced a loud, colourful and bold doctor in the form of Colin Baker who is very theatrical and enunciates a lot of the time. He knows he's the cleverest man in the room and he will stop at nothing to prove that everyone else is stupid. What I love about Colin Baker's doctor is the sense of challenge. I feel challenged when I watch him. I bring this characteristic out in my own stories as well.

Phantasmagoria is a good story, I'm really happy with the out come and effort and planning that went into it. It will be interesting to see what you viewers have to say about it.
