A time when Batman and Robin would team up with Spiderman to battle the Joker. Ah happy times. You see this isn't about fitting into any comic continuity or establishing boundaries between publishing houses. This is good old fashioned comic fun where the world is full of superheroes.

At the time there were several superhero storylines that I'd written but just not made. This one at least was partially shot in Spring 2006. At the time I had a large paper cityscape put together and I'd used it to make Batgirl V Predator. But the images I took for this story were uninspiring and would have needed a lot of work to edit out the backgrounds.

But there are always exceptions, when I'm exceptionally inspired or for special occasions like Christmas. Last year, inspired by The Power of the Doctor, I wanted to relaunch the AFT repeats with a new Christmas story. This was one of the ideas I came up with on 30th November 2022, based purely on the title Twelfth Night, it had to be a 12th Doctor story - admittedly, not one of my favourite Doctors. Given his continuing struggle with being good or not, a retelling of Dickens' A Christmas Carol (yes, I know it's already been done on the TV show!) seemed appropriate.</div><div>The original idea was very nebulous but featured the Doctor about to vanquish an enemy, possibly a dalek and wrestling with his conscience. In the present he'd meet Bill while Yaz, Ryan and Graham were in the future section. Finally, the Doctor chooses to be a bad person and kill the enemy, but only to confuse the mind wraith that's caused the whole illusion.</div><div>Returning to the idea on 4th October 2023, knowing that Donna would return in the anniversary specials, I knew I had my past AND future sorted. I wanted this story to be far more whimsical and light than last year's quite doomy "Let It Snow".</div><div>For the enemy, I considered the Silents, the Weeping Angels or even the Ood but I knew it needed something new.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">CAST</h2><div>12th Doctor (B&M pack), Pepper Meanstix (custom), Donna, 10th Doctor, Missy (B&M pack), Bill (B&M pack).</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpAJUcA9Ew00YE1pSXPUNiRv1jU0ZJ8n4Kj2QSnHHElkpLNrKicbdYzhfUuN1sGEbeifQ9plk3gviwAwthfOxAcUm-AuIzSe9_m4vrjTU7VO8b5fJ1kjXSyiqKAWIklWmcr6rEoiafk1VW0Um1XwoLEiiXoNMRRRGYJBwSgGobRIxfl6yw5wT4GcuMZZY/s448/companions.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="448" data-original-width="425" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpAJUcA9Ew00YE1pSXPUNiRv1jU0ZJ8n4Kj2QSnHHElkpLNrKicbdYzhfUuN1sGEbeifQ9plk3gviwAwthfOxAcUm-AuIzSe9_m4vrjTU7VO8b5fJ1kjXSyiqKAWIklWmcr6rEoiafk1VW0Um1XwoLEiiXoNMRRRGYJBwSgGobRIxfl6yw5wT4GcuMZZY/s320/companions.jpg" width="304" /></a></div>The "companion heaven" scene features Captain Jack (coatless) Ryan, Rory, Graham, Amy Pond, Romana (Power of Kroll), Sarah Jane (SJA: Whatever Happened To Sarah Jane), Bill (Amazon exclusive), Ian Chesterton, The Brigadier (The Three Doctors), Peri (Vengeance On Varos), Yaz, River Song, Leela (Face of Evil, Martha Jones, Rose (series 2), Jo Grant (The Three Doctors), Romana II (Destiny of the Daleks), Ace (Silver Nemesis) and even my custom Angel from my 8th Doctor series.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Pepper Meanstix (a corruption of Santa's "real" elf, Pepper Meansticks) is a Toby Zed figure. His torso had already been painted green for when he appeared in the 3rd Doctor story "The Time Riders". I added the hat, collar and cuffs and painted his ghastly face. He was created on 9th October, painted on 11th October and the back of his head was teased on instagram.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: right;">SCRIPT</h2><div style="text-align: right;">The script was started on 9th October and finished on the 12th.

This set uses a lot of bits and pieces I have in store including a Hulk pressure chamber, a Halo Cryochamber and lots of computers from the McFarlane Batman 66 batcave. Pepper's lever is an accessory from (I think) some Clone Wars figure. The viewscreen from the 2009 Star Trek enterprise set is above the lever and was supposed to show a view of a snowy city but since it doesn't appear in any shot, that didn't happen.</div><div>The Vault was the set I struggled with. I didn't have a lot of time but I thought it should at least try to look like what we saw on TV. It's very simple with paper windows stuck on the black backcloth. The centre piece is made of strips of blue paper with my mini Christmas tree and pipe-cleaner tinsel in the middle. It was put up on 26th October and the necessary pics taken the next day.</div><div>On 29th October, I shot the scenes in the Doctor's "purgatory" using printed purple stone walls I had in stock.</div><div>The last location was the street where the Doctor chases Pepper. You probably recognise it uses bits of Bannerman Road from The Sarah Jane Adventures. Those pictures were done on 31 Oct.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrp6ZVDkTaVX3zsFWvomKRzmHr4Wli0Lxz2dxZ4iCo9y3iZwaVzAli6kg94YAbZi0Bvf6FlQFvasiY200eDHl3v8XEd0qqo74CHKGOIG10Wr4XPbeifm1lwVX_c3kPtndGmmNtPk-oUShnvxWV52TwJVoOpctZHagv-4hCrgZqyWCAWYKzCMs6g9rU6ps/s567/Lair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="319" data-original-width="567" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrp6ZVDkTaVX3zsFWvomKRzmHr4Wli0Lxz2dxZ4iCo9y3iZwaVzAli6kg94YAbZi0Bvf6FlQFvasiY200eDHl3v8XEd0qqo74CHKGOIG10Wr4XPbeifm1lwVX_c3kPtndGmmNtPk-oUShnvxWV52TwJVoOpctZHagv-4hCrgZqyWCAWYKzCMs6g9rU6ps/w400-h225/Lair.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">EDITING</h2><div>Editing began on 27 October using photoshop.

Character's line of action figures has regenerated, now into 3.75" scale. The plan was to make a new story to showcase the mini Doctor and Clara as soon as possible. This wasn't the story I'd intended to make but that tale would have taken more effort and time than I had available so I needed to come up with a short and easy to make adventure. To that end I turned to some pitches that I'd sent to Doctor Who Adventures that were never picked up. Among them was the tale of a robot in a junk yard...</div><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />CAST</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">11th Doctor, Clara Oswald and a Star Wars Dark Trooper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoOYf0f58f_Wv2FXSON4DGmy_zoQm8IBlknMA1pt75NDRB7FFNoNZ4HT3sFS5lkW0sP2TW6c53p_xG6Ux_fO7QWRLC0BDzVN1iBgVElzU46w2V7whbCUIJhbUIqxrpQs6PzjxlumwTDD6C6UG1F7tdxPLGHYPh81eJ2MxQ0t4jD7rqpf8s1ylgTgzOVWM/s395/SDC19827.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="395" data-original-width="363" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoOYf0f58f_Wv2FXSON4DGmy_zoQm8IBlknMA1pt75NDRB7FFNoNZ4HT3sFS5lkW0sP2TW6c53p_xG6Ux_fO7QWRLC0BDzVN1iBgVElzU46w2V7whbCUIJhbUIqxrpQs6PzjxlumwTDD6C6UG1F7tdxPLGHYPh81eJ2MxQ0t4jD7rqpf8s1ylgTgzOVWM/s320/SDC19827.JPG" width="294" /></a></div>This is the first appearance of the new scale character figures in any story. 3.75" was always my preferred scale and I've only strayed from it three times - in the 90s for Batman and Star Trek and in 2006 for Doctor Who.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So when they announced that Doctor Who would be switching scale, I'd actually already been thinking that I'd like some smaller figures. Not at the expense of the wonderful 5" figures, but just the Doctor, TARDIS, maybe a companion and some iconic monsters. Enough to fight alongside Luke Skywalker or Indiana Jones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">By the end of series 7a (The Angels Take Manhattan), I'd seriously lost interest in new Doctor Who. I found the stories overly smug, self-involved, utterly engaging and worse, totally lacking in new and scary monsters. The figure line needed something to reinvigorate it and the prospect of this new scale really did invigorate my enthusiasm. I viewed the next series (series 7b/ 2013) with fresh eyes and a renewed excitement.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Some people don't like change and many fans took an instant dislike to the new scale without seeing any prototypes and I believe that bile, vitriol and unjustified sense of betrayal has become a habit that has poisoned fandom.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Unfortunately, some of the figures weren't that great so many of the fans weren't won over. Extremely rare chase figures and a couple of waves of repaints and repeats meant that the figures never really took off. By the time they were producing really good figures, Amy Pond, the 10th Doctor, classic daleks, fans had all but given up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As someone that did support the scale change and bought their first wave upon release in May 2013, I was really disappointed. Clara's hair was wrong and by the time they corrected it, I was loathe to buy another. And the daleks were just a shade too small.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">SCRIPT</h2><div>The pitch already set out what happened page by page so it didn't take long to work up a basic script to shoot from.

Over the time, we did have a stories by Jack Rees, Jim Sangster and Dave Spilsbury and art work from Luke Spillaine and Aaron Vanderkley.</p><p>In 2012, I mentored a group through the process of making their own one-part AFT story. This was one of those, written by Steve A Williams. What was his inspiration?</p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">"This story was originally dreamt up over 2 years before but it stopped on page 2. That was it, a one page joke. The idea for it came from a 10th Doctor figure that had lost its hand - it was going to be bitten off by the T-Rex"</span></p><p>It was such an ambitious and imaginative story. Steve took the brief and totally ran with it (no pun intended) and made it his own, pushing the boundaries of the format.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4LGEtibp8t0BVrVDBtL7ihWTrKrfmb7ajWRShf4EtkPuukXQ1tn20h2LtJsBBGR12AfuvhUkMGmbkv0KXPL568AShypnGWThAavVaY7CCOYMqQJPHo8hyiELVfCCmZv8FNh4AZvoqAohaEbX41X7nXHIVTbeyNRVtDnyyEeGAtWQmX4o-pIkn25z0wgw/s404/CT-custom-in-progess%20(1).jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="404" data-original-width="323" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4LGEtibp8t0BVrVDBtL7ihWTrKrfmb7ajWRShf4EtkPuukXQ1tn20h2LtJsBBGR12AfuvhUkMGmbkv0KXPL568AShypnGWThAavVaY7CCOYMqQJPHo8hyiELVfCCmZv8FNh4AZvoqAohaEbX41X7nXHIVTbeyNRVtDnyyEeGAtWQmX4o-pIkn25z0wgw/w299-h374/CT-custom-in-progess%20(1).jpg" width="299" /></a></div><br />CAST</h2><p>The 10th Doctor, Martha Jones, Teletubbies, The Celestial Toymaker (custom)</p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">"I've always felt that Martha was an underused character and wanted to use her, which meant I had to use the tenth Doctor. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">The Teletubbies were from my original jokey idea and my daughter still had the toys. The Celestial Toymaker was a custom I started a long time ago and when extending the original idea, a major classic villain seemed a good idea and I had recently listened to the Big Finish Companion Chronicles Solitaire, in which he features. The custom uses a Host body (Voyage of the Damned), Dr Constantine head and loads of Green Stuff."</span></p><p>It's an excellent recipe for one of the great and definitely underused villains of the 60s. I love Steve's attention to detail on the Toymaker's robes, wonderful!</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">SCRIPT</h2><p>Steve changed the story (having lost the T-Rx figure). <span style="color: #f1c232;">Phil encouraged me to develop the story firther (and helped with the rhymes). I developed the script with him, altering it when I composed it on screen.</span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">The story uses elements from The Mind Robber, The Celestial Toymaker and The Sound of Drums as well as (on pages 2, 3 and part of 4) the layout of Rupert The Bear.

For the first page I used Daz Studio for cgi work on the first page. The Teletubby landscape was originally modelled in cgi but because it wasn't good enough, I took screen grabs from a library Teletubby DVD. (The jungle set and dinosaur were made by others).</span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">The speech bubbles are colour coded because I knew that there would be a fair amount of dialogue and I wanted to make it very clear who was speaking at all times. I borrowed the idea from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman (Vertigo Comics).</span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">One thing I learned about photographing is that I really need to learn how to 'green screen' the figures - I wasted a lot of time cleaning up the background noise before I could cut'n'paste the figures into new settings! (BTW the penknife on page 4 is my own)</span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGEC4TvI1CC7hhPubfA21Z-wQcp72s0-ssgm5HOS3eH9dpYsQQc_2bqxd61OUnFTyAz-zo8laIo_xqtvEc5wSDFoDbR8dYAiQ2jdOxHpAfwhgIpc76qDNQJ2m-9DaNIZinOWSBsHC0MgX-NM4k6wnuPlEn9gjqexwoUAuJ2Z80kLJhbHk_McgYK184TQ/s495/p1f7-1,0.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="371" data-original-width="495" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGEC4TvI1CC7hhPubfA21Z-wQcp72s0-ssgm5HOS3eH9dpYsQQc_2bqxd61OUnFTyAz-zo8laIo_xqtvEc5wSDFoDbR8dYAiQ2jdOxHpAfwhgIpc76qDNQJ2m-9DaNIZinOWSBsHC0MgX-NM4k6wnuPlEn9gjqexwoUAuJ2Z80kLJhbHk_McgYK184TQ/s16000/p1f7-1,0.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br />Steve's editing on this story really is top notch, bearing in mind every frame has required work and none of the backgrounds are real (apart from the TARDIS interior, but even those frames needed a 'green screen' background.)</span><p></p><p>Particular highlights are the first image of page three, where a combination of flawless cut and paste, and excellent lighting make it look like the Doctor and Martha really are in the tubby house.</p><p>Also, take a look at the last frame of page two.

I love the idea that the TARDIS team are in the middle of an adventure we know nothing about - the TV series never uses that and it works really well - see the Indiana Jones films for example. (If you look closely on part one you will see part of the reason for this adventure - this is a deliberate red herring for later!)</span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">The implication that the Toymaker and the TARDIS are heading to the same place is not accidental.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">SUMMARY</h2><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNWiiQb4CNCvCYtXnSLsosSpQznoRnhyb03wjllVkeWQuvh6ZIYeXNu53fJG_teuQg2YZan8_X1zxjEeo-VbgYpl7bIsJ6m_4c19g6bDfWSOPr0h3ZVe9sMwmOtsB0MDiowtvjco8krzvVX82vFAA7XHtEvECq7EWO7ZOKEio4oUEhLtxEY5aJU_IXw0/s342/RUNcoverimage.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="342" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJNWiiQb4CNCvCYtXnSLsosSpQznoRnhyb03wjllVkeWQuvh6ZIYeXNu53fJG_teuQg2YZan8_X1zxjEeo-VbgYpl7bIsJ6m_4c19g6bDfWSOPr0h3ZVe9sMwmOtsB0MDiowtvjco8krzvVX82vFAA7XHtEvECq7EWO7ZOKEio4oUEhLtxEY5aJU_IXw0/s320/RUNcoverimage.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />In summary, Steve was one of the reasons I decided to do the AFT Writers' Group project in the first place. He was one of the people that had expressed a desire to do a story but wasn't sure where to start so I'm really glad he has done it.<p></p><p>What he's produced is vibrant in its colours, showing Steve's enthusiasm. His story is incredibly imaginative and utterly ambitious in terms of execution and its a real credit to Steve that he's persevered and seen it through to its conclusion.</p><p><span style="color: #f1c232;">I'd like to thank Phil for the opportunity to do this, I've learned an awful lot on the way.</span></p><p>Steve's passion for the story has been evident from the beginning.

The 2013 schedule had already been allocated to the Daleks v Cybermen arc and the final part was originally supposed to play out in November. But I decided to move that to December making way for an anniversary story. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At the time, it appeared the official anniversary story <b>The Day of the Doctor </b>would snub the classic Doctors. We had no idea that they'd actually ALL turn up (even a flash forward to the incoming 12th Doctor!) but I figured the best way to put all the Doctors together was in action figure form.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">The conceit of getting Sarah Jane to collect the Doctors (joined along the way by the Brig) came quite early and I worked out the format of spending the first couple of episodes revisiting old adventures, followed by three eps throwing the Doctors together, realising that the main joy of multi-Doctor stories is seeing the Doctors mix and get along (or not).</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />The actual stories Sarah Jane visits were changed during the writing. She was supposed to see the Brig during the Pertwee segment (<b>The Three Doctors</b>) and pick him up during <b>Robot</b>. But this meant I couldn't use any of the various 4th Doctor monsters as the 4th Doctor wouldn't have met them yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For similar reasons, I chose not to have the 8th Doctor picked up from The TV Movie, deciding instead upon a "new" adventure based on a Daryl Joyce painting for the Doctor Who magazine, itself based on <b>Spearhead From Space</b>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sarah was supposed to pick up the 10th Doctor from <b>Planet of the Ood</b> but when John Barrowman was upset not to be asked back for the official anniversary, I decided to find a way to include Captain Jack.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My initial idea was that the 4th Doctor would visit Sarah Jane, stealing an idea Gareth Roberts wanted to use on the <b>Sarah Jane Adventures</b> where Sarah would find the 4th Doctor in her wheelie bin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the very first storyline, it's actually the 11th Doctor that is summoning his other selves. He's realised that his contact with the Daleks has made them powerful so he takes his various selves out of time before they each meet the Daleks in order to weaken them. But with the Daleks v Cybermen arc running, I wanted to avoid making either of them the villain so I looked at other monsters - but none of them had met ALL the Doctors! The closest was the Master but at the time I had other plans for him (those plans are lost in the mists of time!) so I had to ditch the "contact with the Doctor made them strong" element.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Given that it was the golden anniversary and with the announcement of the (then) upcoming humanoid Axon figure, I realised it would be fitting to make them my main villain - except the Axos set was then delayed! (see shooting below)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Originally, I'd planed to avoid <b>The Eleven Doctors</b> as a title, on the assumption that the other fan video sites would use it. But having considered several other titles on the theme of Fifty or Golden, I decided the best one really was <b>The Eleven Doctors</b>, so I went for it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">CAST</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg22OauEbldvLuBS3DFVvpyQ3C9n8QKewN1mCqiF6zEbgbruJcqhXeZ2ZwBFD1NhwCf08owyodizMjHqpwNFp2D8zMwU2PxSh2xoWTLMXJXf8BIWt2d-Prg3ksOF1MNBWwT0FUsSj_V6tPpusfn-NIGhH7uCfMHDmbqbgBHuD3eA-fv4kZRFhLICbHzMDg/s354/transmission.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="239" data-original-width="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg22OauEbldvLuBS3DFVvpyQ3C9n8QKewN1mCqiF6zEbgbruJcqhXeZ2ZwBFD1NhwCf08owyodizMjHqpwNFp2D8zMwU2PxSh2xoWTLMXJXf8BIWt2d-Prg3ksOF1MNBWwT0FUsSj_V6tPpusfn-NIGhH7uCfMHDmbqbgBHuD3eA-fv4kZRFhLICbHzMDg/s16000/transmission.jpg" /></a></div>Here's the full list: Sarah Jane Smith

After considering making the Zygons into the main enemy (but risking being too similar to <b>Day of the Doctor</b>), I contacted some chums in the toy industry to see if I could borrow an Axon figure, to no avail. So I decided to make a custom version. She's simply a Primeval Jenny with greenstuff added in the eye area. Her skin is painted in a yellow undercoat and given a gold wash.<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">What's that in the background of part five, page one?

This would have shown Clara appear and kill the Silent, thus saving the Doctor and tying in with <b>The Name of the Doctor</b> (the last aired story at the time) where she's sent back across the Doctor's timeline to save him at various points.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUmRMmXVaKPtzzouvDw_MLFIuxLA-LOsu636ZOYemaCJvswOTSwagUIIeAuhGtAGv6_3pB-kLE0cjo4VyrLXAWnGtcdny90xWer18NHiejfZSGTIHA7eNhex2vaSgLR9_pHzLHEDf3Yx9QvSHnT107LvKw5xakS5TGNUfwIgZpDea0_SOdLVc-39FDUqk/s343/script.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="343" data-original-width="269" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUmRMmXVaKPtzzouvDw_MLFIuxLA-LOsu636ZOYemaCJvswOTSwagUIIeAuhGtAGv6_3pB-kLE0cjo4VyrLXAWnGtcdny90xWer18NHiejfZSGTIHA7eNhex2vaSgLR9_pHzLHEDf3Yx9QvSHnT107LvKw5xakS5TGNUfwIgZpDea0_SOdLVc-39FDUqk/s320/script.jpg" width="251" /></a></div><br />Another scene cut at the scripting stage would have seen the 5th Doctor concerned for his companion Peri given that she is currently (in his timeline) suffering from Spectrox Toxaemia. He asks the 8th Doctor what her ultimate fate is but the 8th Doctor genuinely doesn't know. This could've been interpreted as a comment on how Peri's muddied departure was handled on screen. But it was actually a veiled foreshadowing of the end of the Daleks v Cybermen arc where the Doctor... well, if you don't remember, let's save that for when that arc is re-published.<p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">SHOOTING</h2><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-HWjeKdGcn70xn-97dof052-PqHmwU1sPOK83ghu-V9hOO_ejT3Gu8m1OC-j2A72fddzVyqZTnTip7jhkwn8vsf8qX0pKgeYtgMLmWvqPIRfWoaplI9-gcNa47w7BWYNnkv92yJsqNEn90ni2AkTh3J5B7HU_dcDYb5eDlr30zlDJ0e3e5AyteV2r_30/s381/filming6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="381" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-HWjeKdGcn70xn-97dof052-PqHmwU1sPOK83ghu-V9hOO_ejT3Gu8m1OC-j2A72fddzVyqZTnTip7jhkwn8vsf8qX0pKgeYtgMLmWvqPIRfWoaplI9-gcNa47w7BWYNnkv92yJsqNEn90ni2AkTh3J5B7HU_dcDYb5eDlr30zlDJ0e3e5AyteV2r_30/s320/filming6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />One of the fun things about this story was reusing sets from TV adventures.

Having built up the Dalek assault on the dream dimension, I wanted to take the story in completely different direction to find an unexpected way of resolving it.</div><div>The original draft of the final episode took it even further with the Doctor arriving in a mystical setting, meeting odd characters that represented the various people Angel had met on her travels in the TARDIS. It would also have included flying dragons. Angel's subconscious self was represented by a castle that the Doctor and his new friends would have to storm. Only once inside would the Doctor realise he's inside Angel's mind, not in the dream dimension proper.</div><div>Having virtually destroyed the TARDIS interior at the top of the episode, I toyed with the idea of the TARDIS reforming with the RTD era control room. This would basically wipe my previous 8th Doctor AFT stories from history (since they're set later than this in the 8th Doctor's timeline) so I decided against it. Just as well, since this predated The Day Of The Doctor which established the War Doctor and his version of the TARDIS interior!</div><div>For a long time, the episode was untitled. One title I considered was <b>Out Of Your Mind</b> but I thought this might give too much away. The idea of a fall angel getting redemption was much more appropriate.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_nrN4lS-FYG-Oo5wlD1U2-eiOkzQ8EyyDUtBoyypo7WAntGfd4dsPCo4zx8Q2icsOUI2BeX-L4NU9VtKBLYmEJmWFY4MGVP_zZTbBkK1_QTrbm702n-OSThRh1or00ZT7QaSVNC_FKLvKfWbjg2rlvIDOhc0MfDLud6x09jfSuYwiCP3FuAXR11FhzHQ/s271/BTScast1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="249" data-original-width="271" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_nrN4lS-FYG-Oo5wlD1U2-eiOkzQ8EyyDUtBoyypo7WAntGfd4dsPCo4zx8Q2icsOUI2BeX-L4NU9VtKBLYmEJmWFY4MGVP_zZTbBkK1_QTrbm702n-OSThRh1or00ZT7QaSVNC_FKLvKfWbjg2rlvIDOhc0MfDLud6x09jfSuYwiCP3FuAXR11FhzHQ/s1600/BTScast1.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>CAST</h2><div>8th Doctor - 11 Doctors boxset</div><div>Angel 0 Hermione Grainger (Deathly Hallows)</div><div>Dalek Strategist - From Day of the Daleks</div><div>Dalek Drones - From Remembrance of the Daleks</div><div>Dalek Scientist - From Death To The Daleks</div><div>Dalek Supreme - From Remembrance of the Daleks</div><div>Dream Person 1 - Claudia (Primeval)</div><div>Dream Person 2 - Connor (Primeval)</div><div>Dream Person 3 - Abby (Primeval)</div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67HDLmcxN_DGa00N4Xw0xsqlbsIjEuZeVHRmBSOdYcrTfHOxMsFyQGvU9SY_9zmFREtxYuOECD4of8d30LTfNSaaLHK3eD4arn8pt1-FOIqiuvB6owRCNH8xJKbkOWiEJOefyISwVONrSV6aYHKrVxVIbve-0ZQ8rYp-QXqj9lA5iRWWB9zfxNrhyxtA/s348/BTSshooting1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="308" data-original-width="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj67HDLmcxN_DGa00N4Xw0xsqlbsIjEuZeVHRmBSOdYcrTfHOxMsFyQGvU9SY_9zmFREtxYuOECD4of8d30LTfNSaaLHK3eD4arn8pt1-FOIqiuvB6owRCNH8xJKbkOWiEJOefyISwVONrSV6aYHKrVxVIbve-0ZQ8rYp-QXqj9lA5iRWWB9zfxNrhyxtA/s16000/BTSshooting1.jpg" /></a></div>SHOOTING</h2><div>The Skaro scenes were shot on 5th Dec 2010 at the same time as the other Skaro scenes for stories 1 and 4.

They were done on 7th Jan 2011.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Windsor street scenes were filmed weeks later.

That included a change to the ending.</div><div>The original ending was set in the TARDIS and would see the Doctor and Angel ride off into the time vortex. I changed it partly to give a more emotional ending and party to finish on a clean slate while still allowing Angel to return.</div><div>Most of the images in Angel's memory gallery were taken from the opening episode of the series before Angel was a duplicate but some images were specially taken. There's a hidden image of Angel standing next to the 11th Doctor. A red herring? Or a glimpse of something we've yet to see? Honest answer: it was a little easter egg but has no meaning and doesn't refer to any planned stories at all.</div><h2 style="text-align: left;">CONTINUITY</h2><div>Although not explicitly states in any of the stories, I place the Dalek parts of this series around 3011 - a thousand years from the time the story was made. The Doctor's reference to the Daleks being a renewed threat in a thousand years' time is a reference to The Dalek Masterplan, set in 4000AD.</div><h2 style="text-align: left;">TRANSMISSION</h2><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWV32y3d3Yro3Z6-xzGIybSoRF18wonvqXb-DAX22z9OaAPmtyoSL8SzsrBkTu5YFpGZ5qGbOWJzzM3CZeuZyg-WPAILu14MTuilw2GL6Bo4KJEDjgd-6zyDmgialippQKmi8Kp26c6Zen-bsvLlVFS7uSWBoExmg9NPX8ml10hTaCM5yLiqbfqdl5TTQ/s219/BTScast2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="72" data-original-width="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWV32y3d3Yro3Z6-xzGIybSoRF18wonvqXb-DAX22z9OaAPmtyoSL8SzsrBkTu5YFpGZ5qGbOWJzzM3CZeuZyg-WPAILu14MTuilw2GL6Bo4KJEDjgd-6zyDmgialippQKmi8Kp26c6Zen-bsvLlVFS7uSWBoExmg9NPX8ml10hTaCM5yLiqbfqdl5TTQ/s16000/BTScast2.jpg" /></a></div>This finale was originally posted on 30th April 2011 topping off a ten week run of 8th Doctor stories at a time when AFT was a regular monthly thing.

top and tail the series with Angel being the link. In reusing the Daleks again
I had to come up with something new to do with them in order to justify it.<br /></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">I was reminded of many films where World War
II Nazis are shown looking into the occult in order to win the war. This was
something the Daleks have never done before - admitting that there are things
beyond their comprehension that could be harnessed in their ongoing war- but
it's something touched on in Story One where the Daleks are experimenting with
human fear.<br /></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">The crux of this story of course, is the
revelation in part two that the real Angel was murdered by the Daleks in the
first episode of this series and the Doctor has been travelling with a Dalek
duplicate all this time. Whether or not she'll be redeemed... well you'll have
to tune in next week.<br /></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">It was always my intention that Angel would
turn out to be a pawn of the Daleks. In the original storylines, the Doctor
escapes with a component for the Daleks' latest machine but the Supreme is
unconcerned since the component needs to be charged with artron energy in order
to work. It would transpire that the component was the Doctor's new companion.<br /></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">One of the original titles for the story was

this was me thinking about creepy, gothic horror. There is something very
creepy about Victorian playrooms and I threw every kind of nasty scare I could.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I think Emily is
one of the best villains I've created for the AFT. She has no morals at all,
not because she's actually evil, but because she's selfish and has never been
taught better. Coupled with the limitless power at her disposal she's a monster
that you can't reason with, you can only placate her and hope to beat her in
other ways.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">One early idea
was that the Doctor and Angel put Emily's book prison in a library where it is
stolen by an enemy of the Doctor's who is collecting his recent enemies in
order to unleash them on mass in the finale. It's no spoiler to say that isn't
going to happen. But I wouldn't rule out a return for Emily at some point in
the future.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The story I
think owes a fair amount to the DWM comic strip <b>Evening's Empire</b> where
a teenager harnesses the power of a crashed spaceship. It was by no means
intentional but that excellent story was no doubt an influence.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-iEZZf8_xTdLns2D0IPq9lHk09tQlZeMIZ1CdZTmMO9wwUCMdrJcSYSIAjjRCmyJ0dIebExkKR-di_FEkD9haIOnrdDPsPmosNlcgfnmNOnjU9ubKnsYhDEbtgPoVYSYERk2I3jb0hTyQnv-idWSivZur5S9QvxBfJZdOaapKBLR2GK1ev9PAbU7RKjk/s369/btsbook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="369" data-original-width="287" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-iEZZf8_xTdLns2D0IPq9lHk09tQlZeMIZ1CdZTmMO9wwUCMdrJcSYSIAjjRCmyJ0dIebExkKR-di_FEkD9haIOnrdDPsPmosNlcgfnmNOnjU9ubKnsYhDEbtgPoVYSYERk2I3jb0hTyQnv-idWSivZur5S9QvxBfJZdOaapKBLR2GK1ev9PAbU7RKjk/s320/btsbook.jpg" width="249" /></a></div><br /><o:p></o:p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The attic scenes
were done first on 8th November 2010 followed by the hallway where the TARDIS
appears. Filming continued on the 9th November with the rest of the scenes in
the house. The final shots of the TARDIS interior were done along with all the
other TARDIS scenes for the series on 7th Jan 2011.<o:p></o:p></p>

storyline had the Doctor in part two chased by animated toys but I wanted
something more horrific so I decided that Emily would turn him into a teddy
bear.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This story
required a hefty amount of photoshop to achieve the various scares. Almost
every frame has something going on. It was the first story to be completed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In retrospect, I
could have come up with something better for the Antarans themselves but the
point was that they are tiny, almost microscopic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Unlike most of
the other stories this series, this didn't need any additional dialogue to be
added during the edit. The script was pretty much right from the beginning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">You may
recognise the Antaran ship. It was previously the Godmaker machine from <b><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration-line: none;">Godmaker</span></b>.<o:p></o:p></p>

posted on 26th March 2011 with part two following on 2 April continuing the
weekly series of Saturday updates. <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It was essential
for anyone reading the story that Emily should be portrayed as the sweet
innocent so I deliberately avoided showing her doing anything bad in the teaser
images. Additionally I didn't want to spoil any of the horror elements either. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The title was
originally <b>Play Time</b> but changed to<b> The Whispering
Walls </b>to take the emphasis off<br /> Emily. But during the edit I realised
that <b>Play Time </b>was the perfect title and had to stay.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">It was republished on 23/30 Sept 2023.</p>

font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">The inspiration was to take something scary and let it run amock. I find
clowns and puppets very creepy and this series was about tapping into that kind
of horror. I did a lot of research into the story of Punch and Judy and came up
with the idea of misinformed puppet that believes it has to play out the story,
albeit in a loose form.<br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">The museum setting was a relatively late addition to the storyline which
saw Mr Punch draining his victims of blood in a desolate urban setting. Other
ideas were setting it in a derelict fun fair and having Mr Punch steal souls or
futures, a nearby hospital containing children who have been in comas for
thirty years.<br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">To simplify the story, and to give us at least one 'modern day' setting,

As such, I felt I couldn't just do a one-off story for him. This had to be an EVENT.</span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Since his TV appearance in 1996, he'd been used a lot, appearing in monthly novels from '96 right up until the modern series in 2005, in the DWM comic strips and on Big Finish audios. On the AFT, using my (admittedly not-great) custom, the 8th Doctor had enjoyed a run of stories with new companions. So for this new figure, I had the choice of continuing where he left off or starting afresh.</span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I chose the latter and cast my mind right back to 1996. The TV Movie had just aired. We have a new Doctor, a universe of possibilities, unfettered by cluttered backstories. A chance to put a new stamp on the show.</span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>A NEW COMPANION</b><br /></span><span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">She was originally called Miranda or Leyhla but her essence was decided very early on:</span><br /></span><span style="color: white;"><i>Angel Bright. She's proper aristocracy, descended from the winner of Big Brother. She's spoiled but not in a nasty and irretrievable way. She's just ignorant of the way other people live, though she thinks she knows how the lower classes behave. The youngest daughter of the House of Beckham on the planet Windsor, she's had a privileged background and wants to get away from it. She's bored and wants adventure.<br /></i></span><span style="color: white;"><i>she retunes her radio so instead of hearing celebrity gossip, she hears about the Dalek war. She wants to get involved but her solar yacht will only take her to the edge of the Windsor system.<br /></i></span><span style="color: white;"><i>Maybe a trip to Skaro wasn't quite what she had in mind but it beats another day on her yacht beating off emails from layabout wannabe suitors. <br /></i></span><span style="color: white;"><i>She'll relish the excitement. She doesn't have a gun and improvises something against the Daleks. She;ll think the Doctor is a kidnapper or one of the Papparazi until they both end up in danger.</i></span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6;">The original storyline was very much about the Doctor and Angel meeting and getting together but the Daleks' plan and motivation was very run of the mill and didn't sit well with the dark, scary atmosphere I wanted the series to have.</span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I was very much in favour of using the Daleks for the series opener but to justify that, they had to do something different so I came up with the gruesome plan to experiment with human fear. The confrontation in part two was originally to see the Doctor simply blast the Dalek scientist with the fear machine but then I came up with the idea of talking him into a panic.</span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>THE ORIGINAL STORYLINE</b></span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Crashdown on the planet of the Daleks</b><br />Angel Bright is in her solar yacht when it is suddenly
pulled by accident into the timestream, attached to the TARDIS. The Doctor and
Angel dislodge the two ships but Angel's yacht crashes.<br />Now the Doctor realises they are on Skaro. Angel saves
the Doctor from one Dalek but when more arrive, they are captured and taken to
be scanned.<br />In the city, the Doctor's new sonic screwdriver proves
effective against a Dalek and they escape.<br />They discover that the Daleks are being upgraded to a new
battle form. And using a time cannon, the Supreme intends to instantly upgrade
all Daleks anywhere in space.<br />The Doctor stops them by stealing a component from the
upgrade machine and heads off with Angel in the TARDIS.<br /><div style="text-align: left;">The Supreme is nonplussed. Exposure to time travel will
energise the core. He plans to take it back once it is ready.</div><div style="text-align: left;">In the TARDIS, Angel realises the possible journeys ahead and elects to stay aboard.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">CAST</span></h2><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfOccxFZzugNCP3ZwIZBv5-k3fRFBZhMOM4s2nW2ncCNkQCr8qZTHAl6mpGA0RQBHoocUUFSLW_M12Crij-jar04FTXJj1NqxoNk9OiOXVLsgsOT7ujWNoWC9fq_lXD8A5CH-wYUxyNRyKUAJvysjr29h013CJ5AmjckS_gPUi8L4FUVPSggt8rizDMrE/s297/btsdaleks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="297" data-original-width="253" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfOccxFZzugNCP3ZwIZBv5-k3fRFBZhMOM4s2nW2ncCNkQCr8qZTHAl6mpGA0RQBHoocUUFSLW_M12Crij-jar04FTXJj1NqxoNk9OiOXVLsgsOT7ujWNoWC9fq_lXD8A5CH-wYUxyNRyKUAJvysjr29h013CJ5AmjckS_gPUi8L4FUVPSggt8rizDMrE/s1600/btsdaleks.jpg" width="253" /></a></div><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" class="MsoNormalTable" style="mso-cellspacing: 1.5pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; width: 100%;">

Deathly Hallows were announced as being in 5" scale, I knew I'd found my
Angel. Having said that, I did try to make do with figures I already had and
repainted a Helen Cutter with silver hair.</span></div><span style="color: #3d85c6;">With the best will in the world, she still
looked like a middle aged woman and I needed Angel to be very young so as soon
as they were released, I snapped up a Hermione figure and set about changing
her hair and eye colour.<br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">To bridge the gap between the classic and
modern series, I decided to use the RTD TARDIS for the 8th Doctor. It's far
more imposing than the small but lovely classic version.<br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I originally considered using the RTD
Daleks but then thought they would be better saved for any kind of Time War
story I may do further down the line. Saving that design would give them more
of an edge later on. I considered using the Moffat Daleks, given that these are

First of all in 2004, Takara released a 2 pack of Batman and Batgirl. I was blown away by the superb figures and outstanding articulation.</div><div>Batgirl in particular was very inspiring in her slinky sexy look. I've always been a sucker for female superheroes and began to wrack my brains for a story for her.</div><div>Then Takara made their Aliens v Predator figures and the story became obvious. Back in 1991, Batman had faced off against the Predator.

Early plans had included using video animation to take advantage of Batgirl and Predator's superior articulation but all this held the story up. </div><div>Eventually in late April 2006, I put together a group of paper backdrops and buildings that could be moved around to form different streets and shot several stories back to back (including stories for Spiderman and Catwoman)</div><div>Rather stupidly and annoyingly, I didn't check any of the photos I was taking and many of them were blurry. By the time I realised, the sets were already in the recycling. Since most of the blurry shots are action shots, I think I just about got away with it.</div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">EDITS</span></h2><div>The story went through very few edits from original draft to finished piece. Early versions of the script showed the Predator ship crashing and referred to Batman being called away to Metropolis to explain why Batgirl is here alone. In the end I decided there was no reason why Batgirl couldn't just carry the story without him being mentioned.</div><div>As was usual at the time, the story was presented as individual images. For this re-presentation, they've been edited together into a proper comic format.
