Series three of The Lost Stories has been moved up the schedules, commencing in October 2011 (although the run will break from January 2012, and then return in April). The first three releases star Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor alongside Janet Fielding as Tegan and Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, in stories originally devised for television but never made.
October’s release is The Elite by John Dorney, writing from a story by Barbara Clegg (Enlightenment). Ryan Sampson (The Sontaran Stratagem, The Poison Sky) guest stars as Thane.
“The Elite is set on an alien world populated only by the young, who are being trained for military excellence by a sinister, unseen High Priest,” says producer David Richardson. “It’s a big roller-coaster ride for the Fifth Doctor, which builds to a wonderfully cataclysmic and exciting climax.”
November’s release is Hexagora by Paul Finch, writing from a storyline by Peter Ling (The Mind Robber) and Hazel Adair.
“I got in touch with Hazel and the estate of Peter Ling and they were only too delighted to see this story finally made,” says David. “As I write this we’re just about to go into studio, with a guest cast that includes Jacqueline Pearce (Blake’s 7) and Toby Hadoke (Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf).”
The Children of Seth follows in December, originally written by Christopher Bailey (Kinda, Snakedance) and adapted by Marc Platt (Ghost Light).
“Everyone loved this script,” says Richardson, “which is dark and political, and filled with some interesting characters with their own agendas. And we’ve got Honor Blackman, David Warner, Vernon Dobtcheff and Adrian Lukis all in the same Doctor Who story – how great is that?"
