Bless You, Doctor Who
In the past, the Doctor, Nick and Rob encounter a rupture in time and Rob is lost. Arriving on Shada, Nick unwittingly releases an ancient criminal and long forgotton enemy of the Doctor into time and space once more...
In the present, Rob discovers that a plague is descending on humanity - he’s marooned, and only the Doctor can help. But which one?
In the future, the Doctor and Ed discover that humanity has already fallen. Only some old friends and a long forgotten message remain.
The stage is set for a final showdown with Plague Lord Admiral Advice. Even with three Doctors and a host of companions, can he be defeated?

2020 - the year of the pandemic and the lockdown. The year that we couldn't meet in the pub as we always do around November 23rd because all the pubs were shut.
However! There was a small light in the darkness, because suddenly everyone had webcams and microphones and we were able to hold the first online Planet Skaro meet up!
Some email quotes on the development of the story:
Steven Alexander: My thought is to do a little two-parter of 10 minute episodes - so twenty minutes total. One episode would be with Paul's Doctor and one with Brendan's, the idea being that they tie together in some way. I haven't asked anyone else, so this may all change! Apart from that it could be literally anything - something exciting, crazy and funny to recapture the spirit of the PS Audios. It could be really exciting again!
Si Hunt: It's a good idea. I'd be happy to write and produce the first 10 minute episode, on the condition that Paul "signs up" to play the Doctor. Perhaps someone else could write and produce the second episode and we could swap notes to create a few nice links between them?
My imagination is already thinking that it should be relevant and perhaps see the Doctor, Rob and Nick (or Ed!) arrive on a planet vulnerable to a deadly COVID-style virus. Perhaps in an "Ark" style bit of parody - Rob could give them all his cold in my episode and start a Pandemic. Maybe in the second episode Brendan's Doctor would arrive 1000 years later to sort it all out?
Christ, I've written it already!
AND SO... We were on our way! There were lots of fun and adventures still to be had, but it all came together beautifully - just in time too!
