DW2000 - Voidwatch 2003

 


Series Two of Voidwatch was mainly a continuation of the last season, nothing particularly changed. However, this season would see Vince and Andy get together and had a will they or won’t they sub plot with Peter and Donna.


The Name’s Bannerman

This story would be the same as the Torchwood story “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” except all the stuff with Gray is removed.


Ghost Town

By Rupert Laight


The team travel to Romania after being invited by one of Vince’s old friends named Yolande to stay for a week, during the opening we learn that a peace conference is being held in Romania, at first everything appears to be a simple holiday the team, however during the night Louise is attacked by what she believes to be spirits. The next day we see the team explore the area, Vince and Louise return back to the house while Andy, Peter and Donna meet a man named Christian Abbotly, they return to the house where they meet an American peace envoy for the  conference along with his wife Candice. 

At the end of the day everyone heads off for the night, Vince goes to his room where he feels as though something is haunting the house, he goes downstairs and finds Candice dead with her eyes wide open and her hair turned white.

The team set up some monitoring equipment in her room to track the spirits or whatever is causing the phenomena, Vince is then attacked during the night but is rescued by Andy and Yolande and after the footage is looked at they find nothing, eventually Vince discovers that the person behind these attacks is Christian. 

We find that Christian was planning to use these powers to create the right conditions to frighten someone to death and kill people in the peace conference, in the end Christian is shot dead by Louise during a struggle between Christian and Vince.


Devotion

By Chris Chibnall


The story sees Voidwatch investigating a cult named ‘The Doomsday Devoters’ who recruit people into joining their cult, they believe if they kill themselves they will be allowed in the afterlife before the apocalypse will happen.

The story would focus on the team trying to stop the crew and their followers from jumping off the roof of a building but it’s no good as they all jump on the hour and plummet to their deaths. A subplot sees Dave find out about Louise’s job.


Night Dreams

By Nicholas Briggs


Louise is troubled by nightmares she has every night about people on the streets being killed and when she wakes up they actually happen, the story would see the team try and help Louise and at the end of the story it is revealed she was bit by an alien bug which can make you nightmares invade your head when awake, so none of the events happened and it was all in Louise’s mind.


I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down, Part One

By Chris Chibnall


Vince has troubling thoughts after the team received recent reports of Captain John Hart, he and the team search all over Cardiff to find him but they begin to receive clues that lead to bizarre murders and the only clues are alien technologies. They eventually arrive at a warehouse and when they step in Captain Hart is there to greet them and he knocks them out, when they wake up they find themselves in different rooms and Hart says over a speaker that only three can survive.


I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down, Part Two

By Chris Chibnall


The finale sees Vince, Louise, Andy, Peter and Donna trying to escape and we see it’s a sort of escape room thing going with all of them. They eventually get out and split up to find each other, however Peter and Donna end up being trapped in a room filling up with poisonous gas. Before they die, they confess their love and kiss before they die. In the end, Vince, Andy and Louise find Hart and Vince shoots him through the head and attend the funerals of Peter and Donna. The end of the episode sees Vince and Andy kiss and Dave proposes to Louise.


Series Two of Voidwatch received positive reviews, however it was seen that were certain problems with this series - though the character arcs this season were praised.

Doctor Who 2000

  Perhaps the most catastrophic chapter in Doctor Who's illustrious history occurred at the end of the twentieth century. As soon as the show was cancelled in 1989, a large number of suitors appeared, all attempting to work out a co-production agreement with the BBC. Philip David Segal was the most tenacious, eventually bringing together American network FOX, production business Universal Television, commercial arm BBC Worldwide, and BBC Drama in November 1995. The outcome was the 1996 telefilm Doctor Who, in which Paul McGann played the role of the Eighth Doctor. Although it had been created with the intention of inspiring other TV films and possibly even a whole new series, the concept was doomed to fail due to the broadcast's low North American ratings in May 1996.  Over the course of the following year and a half, Universal searched for additional potential partners, but none emerged. Furthermore, unlike in 1989, no other businesses made their interest in co-production kno...

The Doctor Who Universe: 2005-2010

  2005 Series 5 On January 1st 2005, Part Two of ‘The End of Time’ aired on BBC One. It was the end of an era for Doctor Who as Showrunner Russell T Davies and the Tenth Doctor actor Michael French left at the end of a climatic two parter which drew in 13.30 million viewers with an appreciation index of 90, but a question was on the minds of the fans: Could the show survive under new leadership? When Steven Moffat agreed to become Doctor Who showrunner, his thoughts quickly shifted to shaping his first season of the show. After Sarah Parish left in Journey’s End and Michael French decided not to stay on for Series 5, it became clear Moffat’s new era would be with an entirely new cast. Every season of Doctor Who had a loose story arc, however this time it was decided to have the arc be less subtle than recent years. With Michael French deciding not to return, Moffat eventually began searching for his Doctor. He settled on Richard Coyle who’d worked with Moffat previously on his sit...

Doctor Who 2001

  Audiences and critics alike found Doctor Who's first series to be a resounding success; what had once been considered a forgotten television classic was transformed into a much-anticipated drama. It was demonstrated by Russell T. Davies, Nicola Shindler, and Matthew Robinson, the newly appointed head of drama at BBC Wales, together with the help of the new BBC One controller Lorraine Heggessey and Mal Young, that Saturday night television was alive and well and that viewers were eager for more space and time adventures. However, the Doctor Who revival hit a significant turning point in 2000, with only a few weeks left until its television debut. Executive producers Russell T. Davies, Mal Young, and Pedr James were notified at the beginning of the year by main actor Craig Kelly that he would not be reprising his role as the Ninth Doctor after his debut season concluded. This was because the first season was so tumultuous, although he did leave the possibility of a future return op...
