This list includes video productions from wherever in the world fans have made them. Unfortunately for those of us who wish to collect these videos, that means contending with incompatible video standards used in different parts of the world. The United States and Canada use NTSC (which according to some stands for "Never Twice the Same Color") while the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand use PAL ("Picture Always Lousy"). I'm not aware of any Who fan videos having been made using the French SECAM ("System Essentially Contrary to American Method") so we won't worry about that here.
Generally speaking, you will not be able to play a PAL videotape in an NTSC VCR. There are multi-standard VCR's available, but they are rare in the United States. If you are in a PAL country you may be in luck, as many PAL VCRs can play NTSC tapes, outputting a PAL60 signal accepted by many PAL TV sets. Check your owner's manuals.
The other alternative is to have a tape professionally converted, but this is not an inexpensive proposition. Fortunately, the producers of some fan videos have already had this done and have distributors in various parts of the world. Be sure to check the relevant web page.
Some of these productions are starting to be released in a format called VideoCD, or VCD. VCD is a good choice for distributing fan videos, partly because it makes the issue of video standards largely irrelevant. A VCD will play on any computer capable of playing MPEG-1, and many DVD players will play VCD's as well.
This is the most complete list of Doctor Who fan videos I've been able to compile to date. If anyone has a correction to make, or additional information, please email me.

[When I first heard about these productions back in the 1980's, I was dubious about the idea of casting a female as the Doctor. My fears proved unfounded, however, as Barbara Benedetti does a very creditable job. These productions were among the first amateur Doctor Who productions and still rank among the best.]
Synopsis: Theta-G is the term for a unique radio wave that renders nuclear fission impossible and consequently, nuclear wars unlikely. But while the scientists involved have been sane enough to put Theta-G into the hands of the United Nations, extra-terrestrial forces have targeted the project.
As the U.N. delegates pay a visit to the Theta-G Research Center in the American city of Raleigh, the militaristic Vardans make planetfall on Earth. Their secret weapon: Chandler, a shape-changing Auton, who has taken the form of one of the delegates!
Nearby, the traveler in time and space known as The Doctor prepares for a relaxing vacation, unaware that his deadliest enemies have already determined his fate!
Synopsis: The Doctor is trapped on Earth. He is seperated from his TARDIS, which has been infiltrated by Tribus, the denizens of a parasitic alternate universe called Dimension 2. To make matters worse, his attempts to explain his dilemma to the unreceptive authorities have wound him up in Northfell, an Institute for the insane.
Meanwhile, using the TARDIS as its base, Tribus has recruited Voltere, a homeless transient, as its agent in our dimension. Voltere's job is to bring back the homeless to the TARDIS gateway, where Tribus will absorb them into Dimension 2, using their genetic material to create ersatz human beings with which it will conquer our dimension. Voltere brings Harry, a fellow transient, to the TARDIS, where he is swallowed into the vortex within.
Escaping from Northfell, the Doctor hitches a lift with Lesley Westbrook, a young art student. He persuades her to take him to the TARDIS, where they arrive just in time to see Dimension 2 disgorge an unconscious Harry. Unknowingly followed by Voltere, they take Harry back to Lesley's house, where he begins a strange transformation into Tribus' cellular recreation of a human being: a twisted deformity clad in rags.
Voltere aids Tribus in its escape from the house, kidnapping Lesley in the process. The Doctor attempts to pursue Voltere, but loses him. Instead, he goes to the TARDIS and enters Dimension 2. His fruitless attempt to reason with Tribus nonetheless leads to his rescuing Lesley and Voltere, with whom Tribus has seemingly lost faith.
Voltere, however, is still under the Tribus' power and flees to rejoin his masters, ready to commence their attack on earth. The Doctor and Lesley must race against time to stop him before all the fury of Dimension 2 is let loose upon our planet.
Synopsis: The Doctor arrives in a mysterious black void. Soon he is greeted by three bizarre and uncanny entertainers: Jester, a juggling white-faced clown; Minstrel, a long-haired, mondolin-playing songsmith; and Raconteur, a Noel Coward-style teller of tall tales.
The only othere resident of the void, it seems, is the mysterious 'Girl', who initially believes the Doctor to be another of the entertainers, whose purpose in life would appear to be solely to entertain her. The Doctor resists her demands to be entertaining and stay with her in the void, causing her to become upset, which has an effect on their material surroundings.
By stepping through an unseen door, the Girl is able to enter an Eden-like paradise, a green and pleasant land far removed from the void, yet somehow still as etherial and artificial as the blackness it adjoins.
Elsewhere in the void is a ghostly spacecraft hold, inhabited by a similarly ghostly, and very confused pilot. The Doctor encounters him, and so does the Minstrel, both being confused and unaware of his purpose.
The Doctor, having had enough of all this, attempts to escape from the void, but his attempts are foiled by Minstrel and Raconteur, who beat him into submission by the medium of song. All the while, a sinister bass voice booms out its laughter at the Doctor's attempts at escape.
Who is the mysterious voice in the void, and what power does it hold over the Girl, whose very will seems to control her surroundings, yet still seem capable of not knowing what is going on around her. These are questions that the Doctor must answer if he is ever to escape from the void.
Synopsis: The Doctor takes his new companion Amaryllis on a trip to Elizabethan earth to meet an old friend and associate of his, none other than William Shakespeare! They meet the drunken bard in a remote inn, where unknown to the time-travellers, more sinister matters are afoot.
A serving-girl called Sarah approaches a visitor to the Inn, the learned master of the black arts, Dr Malachai Curwen. Curwen has been trying to summon up the spirit of an ancient demon from before the dawn of time and, placing Sarah under hypnosis, he is amazed to find that demon manifesting itself in the body of the serving girl.
As the Doctor helps Shakespeare to his room, Amaryllis finds herself the object of the amourous attentions of Daniel, an actor with a travelling troupe that the young Shakespeare is patronising. Fleeing from the wandering hands of the lusty thespian, she seeks a hiding place in the lodgings of Dr Curwen where, from a hiding place, she overhears his plans of demon-ressurection and world-domination. Here attepts to rescue Sarah prove fruitless, but she runs back to inform the Doctor.
The Doctor meanwhile, has made friends with another of the acting troupe, a young 'man' called Joseph, whom the Doctor instantly recognises to be a girl in disguise. Joseph, it seems, is really Judith, who has adopted the guise of a young man specialising in acting the roles of Ladies, in an attept to fulfill her ambition of a life in the theatre, forbidden to anyone of the female sex in that day an age.
Amaryllis informs the Doctor of Dr Curwen's plans and the Doctor, aided by Joseph/Judith sets out to find out more. Could he be too late though? Dr Curwen is drawing together The Brotherhood, zealous devotees of the ancient religion, passed down through the bloodline for many centuries. Centuries which the undying Curwen has personally watched come and go...
Synopsis: The Doctor and Lesley arrive back on Earth in the sleepy english village of Endale. But things are considerably more sleepy in Endale than the Doctor had ever anticipated. His old enemies the Cybermen have moved in, setting up a catatosis field around the village that renders all the humans in the area unconscious. As Lesley wanders off to investigate, she too falls under the influence of the catatosis field.
Suspecting things are amiss, the Doctor begins to investigate, only to find himself under attack by both Cybermen and Cybermats. Disabling the catatosis generator, the Doctor meets up with Royston and Miles, two survivors of the cyber-takeover. They fill him in with the details of what has been going on.
A prisoner of the Cybermen, Lesley meets up with Martin, whose wife Marie has been taken by the Cybermen for conversion into one of their kind. Lesley too soon finds herself a victim of the aliens' experimentation, being taken off to act as a guinea-pig in a trial on the poison carried by the Cybermats.
Seperated from Royston and Miles, the Doctor discovers Lesley, partly succumb to the Cybermat's poison. Recalling an earlier adventure, the Doctor transmats with Lesley to the cyber-ship, in orbit around the Earth. The solution fails and Lesley begins to slip deeper and deeper under the influence of the poison.
Miles betrays Royston, hoping to strike a deal with the Cybermen. Royston escapes however, joining up with Martin, who is horrified to discover just how cybernised his wife Marie has become.
While Martin dreads what is to become of his wife, the Doctor struggles to find something on board the cyber-ship that will help him to save Lesley, and save the earth from the cold clutches of the Cybermen...
Synopsis: The Doctor finds himself in Churchtown, a remote religious community on a distant world. He is seperated from the TARDIS and amnesiac. The Churchtownfolk take him in, but squabble about what is to be done with this mysterious outsider.
Meanwhile, Amaryllis wanders from the TARDIS, alone and lost, and falls into the clutches of Vonyx, a Sontaran warrior guarding a hidden race-bank beneath the desert. Vonyx becomes aware that a second survivor of the crash which brought the Doctor to Churchtown carries with him the consciousness of a Rutan, his sworn enemy, sent to destroy the Sontaran race-bank.
In Churchtown, the Rutan passes to another host... but who? The Doctor and the people of Churchtown must struggle to survive as Sontaran and Rutan clash for supremacy.
[After seeming to have fallen off the face of the planet, Timebase are coming back strong. Not only are "Churchtown" and "Hidden Face" to be completed by Dimensions in Tyne, Timebase's back catalog is currently being remastered on VideoCD for international distribution. Hurrah!]
Synopsis: The TARDIS is drawn off course and sent to Washington D.C. in the near future by the Time Lords where they want the Doctor to investigate interference in a major historical event to happen within the next 24 hours -- the complete and total destruction of the U.S. capital by an unknown force. With the help of UNIT's scientific advisor, Dr. Black, the Doctor is able to determine the cause of a series of unexplained appearances and disappearances (including that of a cybernetic warrior from the year 2165 named Ray). A time rift, which is a tangle in the delicate web of time, has centered itself on the D.C. area and, if it is not taken under control quickly, will go critical and destroy the entire city. General Kramer requests the Doctor's aid in averting the disaster.
The Doctor finds himself in a desperate situation. Should he obey the Time Lords and allow the rift to detonate, killing millions of innocent people? Or should he listen to Ace's pleas for him to prevent it? Who is the inside agent leaking information to Captain Walker, the commander of the U.S. Naval Research Station, who seems intent on interfering with every step of UNIT's investigation? What is his motivation? Who is he working for? And what about Ray, the time-stranded cybernetic hunter, whose only joy in life is killing Daleks? How long can she hold out against the self-destructive instincts of her botched cybernetic programming? Then there's Ace, whose own view of the Doctor has suddenly become less clear and more distrustful than before. Will things between her and the Doctor ever be the same again?
a review by Michael LeeSynopsis: The first Whoman film starts with the capture and trial of the previous Doctor. He is once again banished to Earth and forced to regenerate. He refuses to cooperate in selecting a new persona, so his unconscious brain is scanned for surface thoughts to help select one. Unfortunately, he had most recently been reading a Batman comic book.
After the opening credits, we find Bruce State and his youthful ward Dick Greystoke enjoying some TV at their estate. But, their peace is short lived. There's a phone call from Commissioner Horton telling them that the Trainmaster is on the rampage. Our heroes rush to the Whocave.
The rest of the episode includes everything you'd expect from the Batman TV series: The Whomobile, gadget weapons, death traps, bad fight scenes, and of course Whogirl. Plus, there's the Whoman action figure!
Synopsis: The second and third episode of Whoman are interconnected. It seems that the Twiddler has somehow developed a time machine and is using it to steal things out of history. Whoman and Rubin investigate and are stranded in ancient history for their troubles.
Of course, there is villainy afoot in the past as well. Whoman and Rubin are mistaken for local do-gooders and are imprisoned. Thus, episode three features a daring prison escape, an amazing sword fight, and a couple of strangely recognizable ancient villains. Our heroes, through a lot of blind luck, eventually return to the present and defeat the Twiddler. The details are left to the film.
Synopsis: Following the collapse of Earth's biosphere, mankind scattered throughout the galaxy in slow moving colony ships. One such expedition was organized by the Tomorrow Space Enterprises corporation. Upon arrival in the Paradisio system, the expedition acted with single minded devotion to its sole goal: developing the technologies to reunite humanity's scattered tribes. It is now 2508 and the time of those breakthroughs is at hand.
The Paradisio system was exactly what the T.S.E. expedition had hoped for: a system rich in industrial resources. A dangerous, but marginally habitable planet was a minor bonus in their minds.
The Space Rogues story focuses on the consequences of the invention of the "inversion drive" technology. The good news is that this drive allows human-kind faster than light travel for the first time. The bad news is that the technology is controlled by just one man, bent on galactic domination.
Synopsis: Plentitude (Steve Hill) records dreams for entertainment purposes. His "stars," however, keep dying on him. His assistant, Jacey (Kris Herzog) implies that Plentitude actually controls the dreams, and that control is what kills the "stars." Plentitude insists that the Human mind can't handle the rigours of dream-recording (or, traumaturgy). He and Jacey return to Earth to find another subject.
It's Christmas time somewhere in America, somewhere near the new millennium. Plentitude spots the Doctor and Nyssa and decides to trail them, since they look like the most interesting people around. He seems especially interested in Nyssa, since the Doctor appears to be a boring know-it-all.
The Doctor has been trying to explain the concept of Christmas to his companion, who just isn't getting it. He goes off for a moment on his own, which gives Plentitude and Jacey just enough time to approach Nyssa.
She doesn't want to go with them voluntarily, so Plentitude grabs her and disappears with her just as the Doctor returns. Jacey has been abandoned behind. He goes with the Doctor into the TARDIS in an attempt to follow Plentitude and Nyssa.
Jacey explains to the Doctor that he's actually an undercover law enforcement officer who has been trying to gather enough evidence on Plentitude to arrest him. Plentitude has been careful, though, and hasn't given Jacey anything solid to go on. Jacey also says that everyone Plentitude has used has died, either physically or mentally. The Doctor points out that Nyssa is in effect an endangered species--and wouldn't that be enough in itself to convict? Jacey would like to think so.
Nyssa, meanwhile, has realised exactly what Plentitude's equipment does, and how many illegal components he has hooked into his system. Her realisation comes too late, though, to save herself from Plentitude. He forces her into a dream...a dream allegedly hers but actually controlled by Plentitude.
The Doctor and Jacey arrive as Nyssa dreams. Jacey works to set up the device that will allow him to restrain Plentitude until the proper authorities arrive. The Doctor, however, has to enter Nyssa's dream and save them both before Plentitude can cause permanent damage.
Will the Doctor succeed? That would be telling.
Synopsis: Chris and Jenny, two old friends, run down an oddly-dressed man on a country lane. He tells them that he is a space traveller on the run from an unstoppable race of machine creatures. Before they know it, Chris and Jenny are caught up in a fight for the traveller's freedom and forced to choose which side of the moral war they are on. What is the traveller's real link with his enemy? Why does he have a sinister blemish on his forehead and a cybernetic arm? And what is Chris's connection with the greatest time traveller of them all? Whom can you trust -- the hunter or the hunted?
Synopsis: The newly-regenerated Doctor and his new human companion Simon, a boy from 20th-century Earth whose parents were kidnapped by the Daleks, land on the planet Vanestra. Following a trail of dangerous black light emmissions, the duo learn that the people are being subverted by the god-like Overseers, survivors of a planet they doomed into extincion. The Overseers appoint themselves leaders of Vanestra, cruelly punishing and killing those who dare speak against them (as the Doctor and Simon soon witness first-hand). The duo encounter a pickpocket named Imric, who has stolen a device that the Vanestran Insurrectionists, servants of the Overseers, use to contact them. Meanwhile, a sinister plot to control the black light and overthrow the Overseers is being hatched nearby...the Doctor suddenly disappears...
Synopsis: Plagued by a nightmare that he doesn't realise is the Master influencing him, Imric is about to ask the Doctor what he thinks about this when the Cloister Bell tolls. Imminent danger in the form of another ship on the same time/spave vector forces the Doctor to effect an emergency landing, which succeeds only due to the TARDIS dispersing; rooms are suddenly thrown about, and the Doctor must puzzle out the correct pattern to reassemble his dying TARDIS. Meanwhile, the Master is taking over Imric's mind slowly but surely...before the Doctor realises it, it could be too late...
Synopsis: The 8th Doctor has returned Simon to his home city of St. John's, so he can pursue the Daleks that captured Simon's parents alone. But the Doctor can't help but notice two mysterious men in black who are following a certain girl. While the Doctor saves the girl at the cost of a regeneration, the 7th Doctor and Ace are in the city trying to close the Dalek time rift that took Simon's parents but also become involved with the men in black's abductions.
[Richard Davis has now taken over distribution of these videos. Also, be sure to check out the website for pictures of shooting locations for the forthcoming "Oracle". I'm looking forward to seeing the completed video.]
Synopsis: In 1923 New England, Howard Phillips, a vacationing occult writer, discovers that his host and her coven will hold a circle to call forth a being from dark legend. He tries to stop them before it's too late. But the ritual goes horribly wrong.
Dragged out of the vortex by a time storm, the TARDIS materialises in the seemingly deserted house, where the Doctor and Samantha are subjected to psychic attack. They soon discover that the house is not a house, but a space/time trap. The Elderbeing, also trapped, means to gain its freedom, and to do so it must possess the Doctor.
Their only hope of escape is to convince a shell-shocked Phillips, the sole survivor of that night, to help them banish the creature to the shadow dimensions before it becomes too powerful to resist. Otherwise it will be far too late.
Synopsis: A mysterious force is kidnapping citizens of a small Central Florida community and it is up to the Doctor and his companions to discover just who -- or what -- is responsible...but the answer to this mystery may be too much for the Doctor to handle as he faces...The New Order.
Synopsis: A new, younger Doctor awakens to find himself in a Roman amphitheatre. Rescuing a kidnapped Greek goddess, he is plunged into a surreal world where nothing is what it seems. Who is the mysterious Playwright who has lost his characters? What lurks behind the masks of Tragedy and Comedy? And why does the Orient Express suddenly appear at a sleepy village railway station?
There is something rotten in the state of The Matrix. The Doctor has to battle against an old enemy and an evil clone to keep himself (or herself) from being lost in cyberspace forever.
This story is set between the television stories 'Planet of the Spiders' and 'Robot'.
Synopsis: The Serpent's Eye, a fabled Mayan artifact presumed lost to the Conquistadors centuries ago inexplicably turns up at an exhibition in England and is then stolen.
A Thief. A man walking his dog early in the morning. A fanatical collector. Two housesitters doing a favour for a friend. A battered blue book of unknown power....
What links these disparate elements? Who are the housesitters? What is the secret of the Serpent's Eye?
Synopsis: Following the battle in The Matrix with the Playwright Virus, the Time Lords have set out to assess the damage. One section is beyond repair and the Lord President orders its secret disposal.
The ejected Matrix anomaly is captured by the master criminal Lady Helena, who intends to discover the secrets of the Time Lords. But her meddling with technology she doesn't understand brings The Doctor into a race against time with Colquhon, a deadly gunman and The Doctor's oldest foe...
Synopsis: SPECTRE is back! With new plans for extortion and terrorism to unleash on an unsuspecting world.
Can 007 defeat the evil machinations of his latest nemesis? Or will he succumb to her deadly desires for vengeance?
Synopsis: When a top secret space probe crashes in the village of Amwick the authorities are desparate to get it back.
But photographer Nick Angell, scenting a scoop, is on its trail.
It's a bigger story than he could ever have imagined -- One which leads to murder, and something beyond the barriers of human experience.
Features lots of Who-ish references and locations.
Synopsis: Someone has stolen the seventies TV cop show archives and scotland yard needs help. Calling Bonehead, Foyle, Ol'Shoutin George and Jason Bentley to save the day. With the help of Witless the cornish pasty eating detective the hunt for clues is on.
Synopsis: Blinded and shell shocked, captain Alex Calvert recuperates in his sick bed re-enacting past battles on a chess board. But a visit from an old friend Brock and his Australian fiancee Pam uncovers some old wounds. As Brock strips away the bandages to reveal the captain's dark secret Pam challenges Alex to a revealing game of chess.
Synopsis: Having crash landed on planet Earth the alien Ixeryx sends a distress signal from the cellar of an empty house. The Doctor responds to the cry for help, but he isn't the only one. The Time Lord has to call on one of his other selves to escape the clutches of an intergalactic bounty hunter.
Synopsis: The TARDIS arrives in some weird void of nothingness. The Doctor and his companion, Maree, are spoken to by a mysterious voice, which puts the Doctor on some sort of trial. The Doctor is transported into a dream world (not unlike the Matrix) where he is subjected to bizarre nightmares. He finally escapes from this void, after discovering that 'the greatest enemy' is himself.
Synopsis: The Doctor is in his final regeneration and is close to death. He travels to Earth to die, as it is more of a home to him than Gallifrey ever was. Earth is also dying (the story is set in the same time period as The Ark). He arrives there to find Omega working on experiments in time travel. Ultimately, Omega is sucked through a black hole, the Earth is also, but comes out unharmed. The Doctor dies, but is reborn as Rasillon, and Earth as Gallifrey.
Synopsis: A prison ship is seen headed past Earth and has been taken over. The captain has no choice but to self destruct. Next to Earth. The Doctor arrives in a remote country area, with his companion Dorion. The TARDIS has picked up a distress beacon within the sea, of which Dorion finds a strange Black Box which they are unable to open.
After meeting some of the locals, it becomes apparent that one of the girls living there has some form of telepathic or telekenetic power. A certain degree of secrecy is maintained about this factor.
[These videos are, unfortunately, not available for distribution. Apparently, certain members of The West Lodge are too embarrassed to allow that. Why would anyone go to the trouble of producing fan videos but not allow other fans to see them? It's a mystery to me.]
Synopsis: Doctor Mycroft has called upon the advice of his friend, Arthur, as to the reasons behind vicious and unearthly murders taking place in his practice. Evidence suggests that the area of a nearby woodland known as Hob's Coomb is being inhabited by a blood thirsty killer, referred to by the locals as the 'beast from hell'.
However, the arrival of another 'Doctor' and his companion, Kovak, only adds to the mystery. A threat to mankind in the far distant future has somehow reared its ugly head in 19th century England, and the other 'Doctor' seems partly to blame.
How many more innocent victims must die before the time traveller and his mysterious companion redeem themselves of their past and future sins?
Description: The film is in three 'parts'. Part One is akin to an episode of The Prisoner where the Doctor might not be who he thinks he is. Part Two sees The Doctor in an Earth of the near future, ruined by a nuclear war; and Part Three finds the Doctor up against two old enemies in an environment to which he thought he'd never return.
Synopsis: The Doctor and the Master have been enemies for almost all of their lives. Now in his ninth regeneration, and accompanied by Sylvie Lydon, his companion of several years, the Doctor has been ordered to seal the Master's base of operations after the evil Time Lord's apparent death.
Soon the Doctor's TARDIS is pulled off course to an alternate universe, to a twisted version of the planet Earth, where it is impossible to tell who is friend and who is foe. The Doctor goes on a quest to confront the Master once and for all, and finds his own belief system in serious jeopardy....
[Don't miss this one. In addition to being an interesting story, it sets new technical standards for amateur Who videos.]

Synopsis: The Doctor and his new companions, Amanda and Pedro, land on a familiar planet far into the future. What awaits for them there is the truth about themselves, and an evil that has been in hiding for many years....
[After debuting at Gallifrey 2002, Hidden Secrets can now be ordered on video from HGP.]
Synopsis: The Doctor and his companion Carlos are diverted to Gallifrey by the Time Lords for a mission of great importance. They must travel to Earth to retrieve a mysterious and dangerous relic created during the time of Rassilon. Without it, Gallifrey might again become as it was in the Dark Times of the distant past.
But all is not as it seems, as the Doctor soon finds out. He meets an old and deadly enemy, and this confrontation will have the most dire of consequences.
To save the lives of everyone in the universe, the Doctor may have to sacrifice his own.
Synopsis: The TARDIS crash lands on Earth in the early 1990's, and from within emerges a young 9th Doctor and his companion, Brian. The Doctor can't fathom what might have caused his space ship to crash in such a totally un-advanced period, and soon begins to suspect that he has been hijacked. Brian and he set out to repair the TARDIS and discover who -- or what -- caused his ship to crash so suddenly. But an old enemy awaits the Time Lord....
Synopsis: After a night of heavy drinking, the Doctor collapses outside the TARDIS shortly after arriving on Earth. The Doctor's binge drinking forces him to regenerate before he is found and taken to a local hospital. His arrival heralds the landing of a small group of meteorites that has piqued UNIT's interest. After learning of the mysterious man who has collapsed outside a Metropolitan Police Box in the middle of a wood, the Brigadier pays a visit to the local hospital. Soon thereafter, the small town is plagued by a series of bizarre murders, the murdered having bizarre interests. All the clues lead to a small plastics factory... Can the newly regenerated Doctor solve the mystery of the murders? Will he save the Earth from certain alien invasion? Stay tuned for more details....
[This site is up again after moving to a new ISP.]

Drawn to a small townhouse in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, Jenny and Rainor make a shocking discovery there -- one which will threaten Rainor's life, and Jenny's scientific outlook on life.

Synopsis: Time Stalkers continues the adventures of the Doctor, who is now over 1,000 years old and his 10th incarnation. The Doctor is once again set on a mission for the Time Lords.

The Rani and the Master, the Doctor's adversaries of old are also in the 1920's, searching for a legendary power, and so seems the same with the Doctor's unlikely ally, the mysterious and deadly Guardian. On top of that, the mafia wants the Doctor killed. Who's responsible for the changes to the time line, and are the Time Lords more involved then they're saying. With the help of Howard, a pulp author from the 1920's, the Doctor must solve the mystery and put things aright, if he can.
["Time Stalkers" is being directed by Ryan Thorson, whose first Doctor Who video project was Mendicant Production's very noteworthy "Time and Again".]

Synopsis: The Doctor has been dead for four years, and on Gallifrey the Time Lords are going about their business as they always have. Save for one, the Doctor's pupil Larna, who along with K-9 Mark IV searches for the Doctor's son with the intention of bringing him back into Time Lord society. Just as she has finally found him, a strange person calling himself only Dr. John Smith appears, offering his services as an instructor. Soon, however, they find that there was more to the Doctor's death than met the eye. The Cybermen have returned from apparent extinction on a small colony, one where the seeds of corruption have already begun to be sown. However the Cybermen are not the only ones to have returned from the dead. Along with them is their greatest foe, but why don't they seem to care about the resurrection of Doctor Who?
Synopsis: Who is the Doctor? What force is behind the temporal anomalies? What happened on Epsilon Theta -- the planet that no longer exists in space or time? Who is behind the mysterious draining of the Matrix? Who are the 12 strange monks hiding amongst the people? "Time Lock" takes place long ago, when the Doctor, just after being spawned by the loom, sits atop a grassy mountain field with an elderly man, a hermit, by his side. This hermit would play a huge role in the development of the Doctor, teaching him in the old ways and telling him stories from the Dark Times -- of the Time of Rassilon, Omega, and the Other....
Synopsis: Having lost the TARDIS on present day Earth, the 7th Doctor and Ace's only lead is to a mysterious corporation in the heart of the London docklands. However, the true nature of the corporation stretches from pre-historic Earth to the far distant future.
While the 7th Doctor and Ace investigate the head of the corporation, the 5th Doctor is dragged through a temporal suction tube into Earth's distant past. However, he is not the only one to be brought back in time. One of his deadliest enemies is also there, but this time there is something more deadily than just the Cybermen to deal with.
In the future, the 6th Doctor's TARDIS makes a forced landing aboard a vast spaceship which is heading towards the Earth. Unfortunately, the ship does not plan to stop upon reaching Earth, and as the Doctor investigates further, he discovers that a squad of strangely advanced Cybermen has taken over the ship and seem to be searching for something--or someone.
The Doctors must discover what links these three time periods together, or he may run out of time to stop the colonization of the universe.
Synopsis: It is the present day and the Doctor is trapped on Earth. The TARDIS is being anchored by a temporal rift, one end being the TARDIS and the other end being a secondary school, so the Doctor must disable the rift before everything not only explodes but implodes.
Synopsis: The Doctor and his companion Charles are sent to Earth by the Time Lords to investigate and stop the beginning of a rip in the space-time continuum that should not occur in the natural flow of time. When they arrive they discover what it is they face and it is a race against time to stop the vengeance of the Chimera.
Episode 1: Professor Ken Lawrence, noted University astronomer and director of the Flamsteed Observatory, is carrying out a routine scan late one night, when he detects a small meteorite which appears to be heading towards the Earth. After carrying out a set of calculations, he contacts one of his colleagues to confirm his finding, then informs the press of his discovery. He confirms that it is very small, but claims that the meteroite will probably burn up in the atmosphere, whereas in reality he suspects that a fragment will remain and land somewhere near to his observatory within the next few hours....
Episode 2: Having been left for dead by an assailant, Professor Lawrence is taken away in an ambulance, but soon after, the Doctor hears on the radio that the Professor is in fact dead. He suggests that he and Leia visit Prof. Lawrence's house to find clues, gaining access by flashing their UNIT passes at the officer guarding the front door to the house. Inside, they find the Professors notes, in which the Doctor reads about the existence of the crystal and notices that it has been stolen. Using figures from Prof. Lawrences notebook, the Doctor realises that the crystal possesses unusual properties due to the way it was formed -- properties that only another Timelord would know about, such as the Master....
Episode 3: Shot by the Master, the Doctor falls to the ground, and an irridescent glow starts to play across his face. Pleased with his work, the Master stalks off back to the house, past Leia who has managed to free herself from the Master's ropes, and is hiding in the undergrowth. She hurries over to help the Doctor, who is not dead but very weak, and they slowly make their way back to the TARDIS. Luckily, using the gun earlier had depleted its energy levels, and the energy bolts were not full strength....
Episode 1: The Doctor has acquired a new companion, Charlotte, although he occasionally refers to her as Janice since she was using a pseudonym at the time that they met (during a story entitled 'Medicine', that wasn't filmed). His attempts to prevent Leia's untimely death ('The Crystal of Achillon') have been unsuccessful, since Leia had convinced herself that if she knew about the course of events, she would be able to prevent herself being killed. This lulled her into a false sense of security, causing her to go on where she may ordinarily have stopped, and she was unfortunately killed anyway....
Episode 2: The Doctor decides to travel to the Moon to investigate the solar wind mystery, whilst he leaves Charlotte with instructions to make up the anti-toxin, and a two-way radio to use to contact him in an emergency. The radio starts to pick up interference, though, in the form of a strange signal which the Doctor doesn't recognise. Realising that this signal could be connected to the violence epidemic, the Doctor traces its origins to a disused warehouse, and the subsequent search of the building leads him to discover exactly who is responsible for the transmissions -- Davros....
Episode 3: Confronting Davros, the Doctor learns of a thousand-strong army of Daleks stored in cryogenic suspension on the ground-floor of the building. As opposed to the Doctors suggestion, that Davros is waiting for the human population to destroy itself before he moves in to claim his prize, Davros describes how the virus that he has genetically engineered is actually designed to reduce human will-power, so that the Dalek invasion will meet very little resistance. The signal is actually the aggressor, used so that Davros can test how susceptible the humans are to his influence, on the basis that if they are prepared to kill each other, then Davros will be able to persuade them to do anything, even to be ruled by the Daleks....
Episode 1: The Doctor and Charlotte leave the warehouse, and return to the TARDIS which is parked outside. The Doctor sets the co-ordinates for Peking whilst Charlotte changes into something a little more suitable for going to dinner. The TARDIS begins to shake, however, and as Charlotte anxiously looks on, the Doctor grapples with the TARDIS controls, fearing that the ship may be split across 5 un-aligned co-ordinate systems, meaning they would cease to exist, in a nothingth of a second. Making an emergency materialisation, the Police Box judders into existance in a woodland, and the Doctor and Charlotte tumble out. Assessing the situation a few feet away, it seems that they are still on Earth, but have travelled into the past, before the advent of technology, forcing the Doctor to admit that they may be stranded there....
Episode 1: The Master has regenerated once more, and has been developing a time-scoop similar to the one used by Borusa ('The Five Doctors') to pluck each of the remaining incarnations of the Doctor from their respective time-streams. He snatches the incumbent Doctor (Chris Hoyle) from a close encounter with a booby-trap that detonates when a security guard goes to investigate the TARDIS. However, the time-scoop accidentally teleports his companion, Charlotte, as well....
Episode 2: The Master has cunningly lured the Doctors to his own TARDIS by disguising it as a Police Box, wherein he activates a force-field around the Doctors' legs, effectively paralysing them. Trapped in the Master's TARDIS, the Doctors attempt a mind-meld, but inside the Master's TARDIS his powers are far stronger, even against the combined will of three Timelords. It seems like the Doctors have met their end, as their willpower begins to weaken....
Episode 1: The Master finds himself trapped in the worm-hole that he created, and that the Doctors sucked him into ('A Stitch In Time'). He realises that the open end of the worm-hole is freely flailing around in space, with no pre-fixed destination co-ordinates. Very soon, however, a spacecraft passes through the end of the vortex, and the Master appears in one of its passageways, only to find that it is in fact a Dalek Scoutship responding to Davros' distress call ('The Invisible Opiate'). The Master suggests that the Davros is probably dead, and that the Doctor will more than likely be connected with his demise. Knowing that his own TARDIS is inside the Doctors, he scans for its signature, locating it in a quiet settlement on Earth. Pointing out that his TARDIS will be with the Doctor, the Daleks set their course for these co-ordinates to exterminate the Doctor for good, and enable the Master to retrieve his own TARDIS, with the assurance that he has plans to overthrow the High Council, and form a Timelord dictatorship ('The Crystal of Achillon')....
Episode 2: To gain access to the Doctor's TARDIS, the Master drags the Doctor's body across to where it stands. Realising that the Doctors TARDIS locks will not be coded to his own DNA, he uses the Doctor's lifeless hand to open the lock mechanism. As the door opens, the Doctor's body is dropped to the ground, and the Master slips inside. He crosses the console room, and enters his own TARDIS, but to his dismay, the console is in pieces where the Doctor has been salvaging parts for his own TARDIS. The machinery is still in some working order, though, and also on the console the Master finds the time-crystal that he plans to use in an energy weapon to gain control of Gallifrey ('The Crystal of Achillon')....
Episode 3: Content with his work, Seval strides off to report back to the Master, whilst Devlin and Flynn are left tending to the Doctor. As they crouch over him, his eyes open, and the Doctor reassures them that he was only hit on the arm. He gingerly gets up, and they head away from the Scoutship, although closer inspection of the Doctors arm reveals a nasty burn from where the blast hit him. The Doctor explains to Flynn and Devlin how the Master's ultimate plan is to use the crystal in a much larger device, and form a dictatorship on Gallifrey, and that the only way to stop him is to put the Dalek ship out of action. To this end, the Doctor decide to build a bomb to damage the ship's engines....
Episode 4: Moments before they reach the control room, an intruder siren goes off, and thinking that it is the Doctor, the Master and his entourage head back to the entry doors to deal with him once and for all. The alarm has been triggered by none other than Davros, though, who has returned from Skaro to lead the Dalek army to victory. On finding that the Master has assumed control of the Daleks, Davros sets about winning over the Daleks, accusing the Master of treachery and disloyalty. In the heat of the argument, desperate not to lose the alliance of the Daleks, the Master reminds them that he has revived the army already. Davros immediately points out that he himself has been to the cryofreeze, and found the army frozen into extinction, and that it must therefore have been the Master who killed them. With this, the Daleks ally themselves with Davros, and a violent battle commences. In the midst of the fighting the Master grabs a cybergun from a wounded Cyberman, and escapes leaving Seval and the Cybermen to fight the Daleks. Crouching behind a corner, the Doctor and companions see the Master leave and chase after him, armed with the time gun....
Synopsis: The Doctor (in his 10th incarnation) and Romana (in her 4th) land in the TARDIS on the forest planet of Galentor, a world on the edge of the Federation of Planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Doctor wishes to visit an old friend of his but it soon becomes clear they are too far into the future and have in fact landed in the year 4198 A.D. Exploring, they find a Human colonist lying injured on the floor. Who are the Golden Skins he speaks of? What strange monster has gashed the poor man's chest open?
[Judging from the photos on the website, this production has a rather high Female Pulchritude Quotient.]
[The Plague of Lychwood was previously listed as a forthcoming production under Thames Valley Time Lords.]
Synopsis: The Doctor has a holiday planned--a trip to Hayman Island, off Queensland's East Coast in Australia. An unspoiled tropical paradise and 5-Star resort, surrounded by the famous Great Barrier Reef and the crystal-blue clear waters of the Whitsunday passage...
The TARDIS however is dragged off course to land in Brisbane (Capital city of Queensland), Australia in the year 1992, or so we think...
The Doctor soon finds himself matching wits against one of his deadliest enemies in an episode packed with references to his past adventures and a situation of extreme danger leading to a seemingly impossible chance of survival.
Can this really be the end for The Doctor?
