Doctor WhoHeads to the Past to Rescue Russell T. Davies’ FirstWhoScript

Most nerds knowRussell T. Daviesas the architect of modern Doctor Who , the man who resurrected the beloved but very much abandoned sci - fi franchise for the 21st century , with supporter from starsChris Ecclestonand Billie Piper . But this was n’t Davies ’ first work onDoctor Who , which was a handwriting titled “ Mind of the Hodiac ” that apparently had been lost to sentence . Now , Sir Humphrey Davy is rise his account as well , with assistance from Big Finish and their Who audio drama .

What makes this floor so interesting is that Sir Humphrey Davy compose the book when Colin Baker was playing the Sixth Doctor , company by Bonnie Langford ’s companion Melanie Bush , and thus it was written with those two in mind . Now Baker and Longford will be able to perform the 35 - twelvemonth - old story that was mean for them , thanks to the audio medium . It ’s also interesting is that it does n’t seem like “ Mind of the Hodiac ” was tragically misplace because the BBC either turned it down or ignore it . In fact , it ’s not clear whether the BBC even asked Davies to write a Who hand , or if he took it upon himself to submit a script for the show . According to his Wikipedia , he ’s only join the BBC a year before , and was act upon only as a vivid artist in the children ’s programming department . candidly , “ Hodiac ” could be considered fan fable , at least until bountiful Finish picked it up . Here ’s the outline :

“ In the profoundness of space , the mysterious Hodiac is control the Galactic Stock Exchange to kindle money . His bearing ? To hire mercenaries for a deathly quest across the star . Meanwhile , on Earth , an ordinary British family is molest by a serial of psychical events . The one matter connect these event is a magnificent patchwork coating — which just so fall out to belong to the Dr. ! ”

“ Mind of the Hodiac ” was actually only the first part of what Davy designate to be a two - episode tale , signify he never wrote part two . liberal Finish has tap Scott Handcock , who ’s penned and directed several Who audio dramas in the past , to fill in the level using Davies ’ notes on what he ’d originally planned to come next . “ Mind of the Hodiac ” is n’t due til March 2022 , but you could pre - order either the digital download or a compact disc edition now over atBig Finish .
