Uh-oh, the Angels fans have got the TARDIS!

I remember hearing about this fan film, oh, ages ago. It was definitely after “The timeless children” had aired, because of the similar titles. And I think there was a bit of Jo Martin in the trailer released around that time. And I do like some Fugitive Doctor.

During our current Who gap year, I’m low key curious how this is going to turn out. If nothing else it looks better than a fan production has any right to. The story remains to be seen, but… well, the last official season finale set a low bar.

There are more trailers at the same YT channel, and more information about the project here. For a TL;DR, read on:

So, basically writer/director Stuart Humphries does a lot of vintage and historical photo restoration professionally. And he’s a Whovian, so obviously he’s made fan colourisation of B/W Who photos and video sequences, too. And fan films compositing bits of different episodes and eras together.

Not that this is a one-man job: there are volunteer VFX and SFX artists, composers, voice actors — as well as some key extras from yore making special appearances. If you watch the trailers you’ll see what I mean. The credits list goes on and on.

“The timeless Doctors” is described as a massive reworking of Humphries’ previous fan film, “The ten Doctors”. First it was supposed to be a feature length film released online for the show’s 60th anniversary. Since then it’s been delayed, ballooned to 2½ hours’ runtime and will apparently come out in four parts sometime this year.
