It will hopefully be available on Thursday, with the three episodes airing over the course of the weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I will also take this opportunity to announce that I shall be on holiday for a week from Friday and so any posting that is done of christel films will be setup to be done automatically, this includes the three episodes that will make up the finale. If you contact me during next week I am not ignoring you I am simply not here.

Christel Doctor Who of the Week - Series 2 Finale

So the series 2 finale is approaching...we still don't know what the guardians are up to, we don't know who the woman is, or what the Trojan does. Plus we don't really know why Tabitha's lipstick is so important. Oh and that's forgetting that David Tennant and Matt Smith's 10th and 11th Doctors keep turning up...great fun is to be had...muwhahaha....

Series 3 (and 4) Breaking News...

I have had to think long and hard about how to do this and indeed whether to or not at all. But today I am announcing a change in the scheduling and format of Christel Doctor Who series 3. I originally planned for the series to be a full length 13 episode run but I have decided to cut it to simply 6 episodes, which will encompass the one epic (sorry) story that I had in mind for the series finale.

I have done this for a number of reasons. The first is workload, I now have less and less time to commit to the series and I fear the quality of it is suffering because of this. Secondly, and honestly, it is starting to become a chore, and I said whenever this happened I would either scale back or stop completely. Don't worry, I'm not going to stop completely, just scale series 3 back so that you, the viewer, gets the best possible experience that you can.

That leads me on to Series 4. There will be a Christel Doctor Who series 4; but not until 2013. Series 3 will run for six weeks at the end of this year and then take a years break. I feel I need to do it to be able to spend time on other projects and look into ramping up the quality of the series.

There is still a lot to look forward to in the coming months though...The finale of Christel Doctor Who series 2 is simply a few days away and ARNIE series 2 is now in full production. Many thank you's to the people that support and follow this blog, long may that continue.

Episode 9, The lying old Witch in the Wardrobe

I am pleased to present episode 9 of series 2, The Lying old Witch in the Wardrobe. This is the Doctor-lite story and as I was watching it back last night I actually realized how ambitious the story was but I think it works well...hopefully you will think the same to.

Part 1


Part 2


This of course means that the next episode will be the first part of the finale for series 2. The title of the episode is announced at the end of this one, so be sure to watch out for that.

CDW Series 3 Begins to take shape...

Even though there are still 4 episodes left to series 2 of Christel Doctor Who I am beginning to think in detail about series 3. As I have said previously, I have made no secret of the fact that I have always had series 3 pretty much written from the start and I can't wait for you to experience the rollercoaster ride that I have in store for you. I have already let on that the last six episodes of the series will form the finale and should hopefully be a "epic" (cringe) story.

I am now planning and thinking about sets and specific scenes that I need to include and I may even take the plunge and get the series voiced...but this I'm not really sure on yet. I am hoping that I can get enough done to preview a series 3 teaser either at the end of Christel Doctor Who Series 2, or indeed on August 31st when Christel Doctor Who becomes 2 years old.

Anyways, more definitive news on this to follow. Don't forget, CDW Series 2, episode 9, The Lying old Witch in the Wardrobe goes live on this very site tomorrow; and it will reveal the episode title for episode 10, the first of the three part series finale. So definitely be sure to check back for that.

The Lying old Witch in the Wardrobe, Plot Synopsis

As you know by now, The Lying old Witch in the Wardrobe will now be episode 9 of series 2 and so today I am posting the official plot synopsis, ahead of the episode release on Sunday.

May 1914, and as an average young man sits down to read a book he embarks on an adventure that he will never forget. But this is no ordinary adventure. Something dark awaits the young novelist CS Lewis and it will be something that will change his life forever. What are the mysterious noises that he can hear? Who is the equally mysterious Tomnoos? And just where did he dissappear to after reading that book?

The Lying old Witch in the Wardrobe, Plot Snippets

What is now episode 9, The Lying old Witch in the Wardrobe will be aired on Sunday and so here are the usual 5 plot teasers. Remember, this is the doctor-lite episode and is now actually the last story before the finale starts, NEXT FRIDAY! :) Enjoy...

1. At the beginning of the episode the Doctor and Tabitha are looking for the Cardinal. Who as you may remember from a previous post, is actually another timelord.

2. All CS Lewis wants to do is sit down and read a good book...an idea that back fires drastically.

3. Tomnoos, who it could be argued acts as the companion in this episode, does a lot of chasing around.

4. The TARDIS does something that we didn't know it could previously do.

5. I would like to think there are some very special "special effects" in this episode, especially in the penultimate scene.

A Big Decision has had to be made...

I have been toying with this idea ever since I posted episode 8 on Monday night. As you may have read in the episode 8 post I unfortunately lost all of episode 9, Music to the Ears after we had a power cut. I had hoped to simply "Re-Export" the file from the movies and be done with it but for some reason my computer tells me the file is corrupt and so I need to start completely again. Which I don't have time to do.

Therefore I have taken the decision to drop the episode from the series and move all of the episodes up one slot. This means that the next episode, which will air on Sunday July 24th, I might add, will be the lying old Witch in the Wardrobe. It will also mean that there will then only be 12 episodes, instead of 13, to series 2.

Because of this I am still planning to produce and show the episode but instead it will form a special episode, pretty much in the same vain as the Christmas special. It will still officially be part of series 2 but will be a one-off and hopefully bridge the gap between series 2 and 3.

All in all then, series 2 will be an episode short, for now at least, but it does mean that you get to see the series finale a lot sooner...and what a finale it is.

Episode 8, City of the Damned Part 2

Here it is as promised, episode 8, City of the Damned part 2. I apologize for the lateness of this post but not only has the movies started playing up during export but I have also lost the entirety of episode 9, music to the ears. This explains the lack of a 'next time' teaser at the end of this episode. I am now hurriedly "re-exporting" and editing all of episode 9 again. Meanwhile, please enjoy episode 8....

Part 1...

With Christel Doctor Who series 2 due to return to your computer screens this weekend I am today posting with the synopsis for episode 7, City of the Damned part 1. The plot snippets for this episode will follow later in the week accompanied by another announcement. For now enjoy, and discuss at will...

The Doctor returns to New Earth to find that not all is as he, Tabitha and Timothy left it. Since the Azmael foundation were deposed chaos has reigned. People now run in fear and what crawls around in the sewers beneath them and as the Doctor has to come to terms with some truly frightening truths he is left asking even worse questions...Was he the cause of this? What can he do about it? And just why are the remaining people so scared of what comes out at night?

Christel Doctor of the Week - The Guardians of Time

We first saw the white guardian of time at the end of Christel Doctor Who Series 1. He warned the Doctor that he being put through a test, which it was implied, the guardians were controlling. The White Guardian also hinted at the involvement of other guardians but they were not seen. Perhaps the most important was the revelation that the doctor will meet the guardains twice more and when he meets them for the final time he shall "know himself". hmmm...intriguing...

Christel Doctor Who of the Week - Series 3

I originally intended for series 3 to be only 6 episodes. It would have been the six part finale that I revealed earlier and centered simply around bringing alot of the plot-lines and arcs together. However, I changed my mind when I wrote the ending to series 2 of Christel Doctor Who, which I still hope will blow you away. Coupled with the decision to run series 3 over Christmas of this year and into next year a full length, 13 episode, Christel Doctor Who Series 3 was born...and I can promise you it will be mega.

Thats pretty much all I am going to tell you for now, but he does have quite an important role. Below are a few pictures of him in action...
