Found while trawling the web for Doctor Who stuff: A site detailing the scripts that never made it to screen. In future, when presented with 'Lungbarrow is canon because it nearly got made', I will point out that by that reasoning the Master is both the Doctor's brother and part of his psyche, Tyler Durden style. And that Sarah-Jane and Romana and Leela and the Brig are all dead. And that Blackbeard may have been the Doctor's long-lost renegade Time Lord father, Ulysses, and Borusa is his granddad and... let's just say I'm quite glad the Eight TV series never got made, gorgeous and talented though Mr McGann is.

I am far too amused that an unmade Two episode based around that good old sci-fi standby of 'good grief, a planet where WOMEN are in charge! Who could imagine?!' had Jamie saving the day by giving Zoe a good spanking. Ah, the Sixties.

Heeeeee. I'm sorry they didn't make that one. Captain Mavis!

I kind of like what they did with the Master in Scream of the Shalka myself. Shame that the massive changes to the storyline brought by Eccleston (like the destruction of Gallifrey) have completely retconned Richard E. Grant's alternate 9.

Would that be in the PVC pelmet skirt or the sparkly catsuit?

She'd have turned the tables though and gone Karkus on his kilted arse.

I remain convinced that the reason so much of the Two era was destroyed was that the Assexual Damnit! fanboys had to to have any remotest shadow of a case whatsover, what with the clutching, the handholding, the rolling around, the puppy piles....

The Sarah-Jane being dead is a great one to have at hand. But I do like the bit about the Master being part of the Doctor. Is just bizarre.

It all does sound a bit WTF. Poor Paul McGann, he would have been rather great.

Hello! Just saying hi as I've added you via the 'Doctor Who friending frenzy' *waves*. I'm hugely ignorant about Doctor Who pre nine and ten, but am hoping to learn :D Also love Buffy, Angel, Firely, Lost, Black Books etc, and love reading fanfic and generally squeeing over scifi/fantasy stuff, so nice to meet you :)

Thanks Doyle, I've heard of a few of these missing stories and was wondering if they were all collected in one place. Now I know!

Zoe getting spanked, hee hee! Although personally I'd rather...er, never mind. ;)

And yes, Lungbarrow is complete cobblers isn't it.

btw, there's a Doyle on Outpost Gallifrey, is that you? I'm xipuloxx there too, big surprise...
