The Doctor
Did you find the New Year left you lacking something special? Was Christmas missing something which the Doctor could not cure? Do you feel a void of Time and Space in your life? Then perhaps The Doctor Reads the Doctor By The Doctor series is for you!
This series was in part inspired by a friend of mine who is dyslexic, and who finds reading something of a chore as a consequence. He is also a fan of the same type of science fiction material. And so I decided to read some of my old published stories (which my former editor assured me had returned to me copyright-wise, as it is now long out of print ;) ).
These stories were written and published over fifteen years ago, so I hope you can be kind and tolerant. That same friend had suggested I could do a series just reading the dictionary. Hopefully this will be marginally more entertaining ;)

This first video in the series is the short story, "The Fear", first published in June 2003. It was a simpler age; in those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
Take care.

This second video in the series is the short story, "The End" first published in May 2004. It was a simpler age; in those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
While recording this video I had momentarily considered "doing a Lucas" and re-writing bits here in there, to bring them more in line with how I would write today, both in terms of literary competency and in light of my increased understanding of Cosmology and Astrophysics. However, barring one typo introduced during the production process which rendered one sentence nonsensical, I decided to read it as it was originally envisioned, warts and all.
Finally, if anyone sees any similarity between any of my stories and newer TV episodes, I would like to point out that they were all written and published between one and two years before the re-launch in 2005.
Take care.

This series was in part inspired by a friend of mine who is dyslexic, and who finds reading something of a chore as a consequence. He is also a fan of the same type of science fiction material. And so I decided to read some of my old published stories (which my former editor assured me had returned to me copyright-wise, as it is now long out of print ;) ).
This story is the first in the series never before to have seen the light of day in any prior published form - The Three Masters.
Having looked back at when the document was first created it seems that John Binns and I started working on it in 2003, at exactly the time I was writing all the previous stories for Big Finish's Short Trips book series in some of the volumes John edited. Work on The Three Masters seems to have progressed beyond the end of that period for a couple of years however, while we got close to finishing it, somehow events overtook us and it was never quite completed.
In 2016 its unfinished status began to bug me again and so I asked John for permission to finally finish it off. I added a mere 900 word to complete this task, as well as cutting and trimming the existing material - I should shout out to my PhD supervisor, Karim Malik, for instilling a slightly stronger appreciation of brevity and the need to cut waffle.
So it was that the story was completed in 2016, but the market for work concerning the Doctor had become far more restricted, with many of the old outlets for such work now being "blocked". Then I began the "Doctor Reads..." series and this became a natural home for The Three Masters.
The Masters are exaggerations of their characters from the original Doctor Who series in which..
Doctor Alex and The Regenerations take on Uriah Heep's "Lady In Black". This song choice and video is inspired by the tragic tale of Doctor Alex and Mrs Anti-trekker as told through the amazing Anti-trekker's awesome Superchat rewards.
I hope he doesn't mind ;)
Check out his content on YouTube and through the website:

I hope people enjoy this :D :D
After a typically beautiful rendition of "Teenage Kicks" by the Undertones by BirdOPrey5 on one of his recent excellent livestreams, Doctor Alex and the Regenerations were then able to combine musical forces to produce... this!
Enjoy ;)

The bloopers and behind the scenes material from the two part video of "The Baron Wastes" featuring Ella Dumitru :D
Enjoy!

These episodes were a two-parter covering "The Baron Wastes", a short story so long it needed two videos to make it manageable!
Part 1 can be found here: https://youtu.be/lvO6aY7IVuA
Part 2 can be found here: https://youtu.be/llGwdX66hR8
I would like to emphasise that this story was written in 2004 (and set in 2040). 2004. Now I'm not saying I'm Nostradamus, and I may have allowed for too long a time frame with the date of 2040 (this was forced on me by the editor, not my fault! ;) :D), but perhaps being a Doctor of Time and Space helps after all ;).
In addition my friend Ella Dumitru took on the role of the main supporting character and I am very grateful to her for her invaluable contribution.
And as ever I should say it was a simpler age; in those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
Take care.

Did you find this last year left you lacking something special?
Did you feel a void of Time and Space in your life?
Seasoned 12: The Doctor Reads the Doctor By The Doctor - an all new extension to the existing series will be the cure!
This may be a new age, but once more spirits will be brave, the stakes high, men will be real men, women will be real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri will be real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.
Take care.
