Doctor Who: The Paradise Machine (EPISODE 2 ONLINE!)

[Si Hunt]

Coming this Saturday August 9th, to Planet Skaro! Our Season draws to its conclusion with...



The Paradise Machine
by Martin Penny

We step forward in time in our adventures now. The Doctor's travels with Ed are over, and he has picked up his old friends Rob and Nick from their galactic tour of Peladon, Florana and The Ice Chambers of Klrix. But don't worry - we may just dip back into the past sometime and see how the Doctors travels with Ed panned out. Meanwhile...

The TARDIS has landed on the Golden Moon Space Station. The Doctor recalls it as the largest entertainment station in the Universe (but maybe he was just fond of the Batternburg). He may have got the time wrong, as on this visit it's being patrolled by murderous Mark 4 Galactic Security Robots and playing host to a myriad of rich visitors, from pop stars to politicians...

What's really going on aboard the Golden Moon? What are the plans of Leckard, the insane Station Controller selling tickets to Paradise? And can the Doctor save Rob and Nick from the lure of their own desires?

--

You may think Martin Penny's contribution to this season had finished as we wave a temporary goodbye to Edward Bradley, but The Paradise Machine is his writing debut. It stars Paul Monk as Doctor Who, reunited with David Tudor as Nick and Steven Alexander as the ever-lovable Rob. Also starring are Alex Finch as Controller Leckard, Ant Cox as Mills with Simon Hart as Thrace and Pip Madeley as the iconic Baron of Boralis. Not forgetting (would you believe it) Martin Penny as Tor Garane. Some old chancer called Si Hunt produces the adventure.

So sit tight, head for the stars and strap yourself into The Paradise Machine this Saturday - free to download exclusively here on PS!

Oh and check back soon for news of the physical CD release, and some very special extra features!

Ooo what an absolutely lovely cover! Hurrah! And not a touch of pink....

I'm looking forward to hearing some cool robot voices

[SiHart]

When's Ed coming back?

Lovely cover. Hooray for Pip!

Si xx

[Andrew Curnow]

Is that Alex in the background? He looks terrifying!

Edited to add: Obviously I mean on the lefthand side.

And agreed, it's a lovely cover!

[Si Hunt]

There is a trailer for the story here!

Si.

[Martin Penny]

I love the cover, lovely green! And Alex doing his evil fist shake is excellent!

And I love that trailer, reminds me of a movie trailer! I'm glad 'QUIET CRETIN!' got in there!
I hope everyone likes it when it debuts!

[Jon Masters]

As Sam would say " Coooooooooooooooooooooool "

Martin sounds too scary though (and did I hear two significant sound effects and a very significant phrase ? )

[Antony Cox]

Ooh, very dramatic trailer!

[Wayne]

Looks great, & sounds fun!
Yay for Alex already!
Steve looks like somebody else entirely. It is him isn't it?

[SiHart]

Yes, who else would it be at that angle?

Si xx

[Wayne]

True! But he does look so different to the wavy hair, clean shaven, & glasses that i'm used to.

[SiHart]

He tells me that Rob is different.

That's probably an understatement.

Si xx

[Wayne]

He tells me that Rob is different.

Well yes it makes total sense. Funny how Nick looks exactly like Dave Tudor though.

[Si Hunt]

I got some of my script changed at the weekend you know. "I'm sorry, but Rob just wouldn't say that!". And he was right!

Si.

[Paul Monk]

Great cover. Love the robot. Shame about the dodgy bloke in the tank top though

[Alex]

I have to say I'm quite hurt, that's my best "Why hello ladies, how are you doing?" pulling face I've gone for there.

I love the trailer too, and especially love Martin's voice, it sounds really uniquely alien, if he survives the story it'd be great to have the character back.

[Dave Tudor]

Funny how Nick looks exactly like Dave Tudor though.

Maybe not for much longer....

What a twemendously gween cover! Where did the wobot - er, I mean, robot come from?

[Paul Monk]

The trailer sounds epic.
Did you have to modulate Martins voice at all?

[Si Hunt]

Where did the wobot - er, I mean, robot come from?

The image was researched from the web. Somewhere in Japan, it probably exists!

And no, there is no modulation used on Martin. It's all natural!

Si.

[Paul Monk]

I thought so. Martin's voice was so good live, I remember. I just wondered if you'd tweaked it a bit.

[Dirk Gently]

That trailer is really good. Only 48 hours to go!

[Pip Madeley]

The first episode will be available at midday.

[shada pavlova]

MIDDAY!?!??!?

I gotta wait TWO WHOLE HOURS MORE?!

I have just listen to it and I must say this sounds as one of the best so far and I must say well done to everybody involved as the story acting and production is fantastic.
