Information[]
At least 5 episodes will be written by head writer Martello736, with the other 5 expected to be written by guest writers. If interest in the series is low, more episodes will be written by Martello736. It is thought that the series will be a darker, more sinister version of the current Doctor Who, exploring the concept of death and bereavement. The two-parter starring the Scavenging Hearts is confirmed to be taking place in Nazi Germany, and will contain the theme of euthanasia. A recurring theme throughout the series will be the mythical creature known as The Beast, a plot point that will be revealed in Series 2, should this series prove popular enough.
Development[]
The idea for a darker series of Doctor Who was conceived by Martello736. He loved the fun loving and jovial nature of Doctor Matt Smith, but found it frustrating how he struggled to play a darker and more sinister Doctor, as David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston had done so well. He then decided to create his own version of Doctor Who, which contains mostly the same characters, but very different events of that to the revived series of Doctor Who. Martello736 has said that the series will be similar to the end of Series 4 of Doctor Who in nature, scary and upsetting.
