Behind The Scenes

3rd Doctor

I whole heartedly apologise for the appalling figure of Pertwee. It's used here in an effort to be complete but it doesn't detract from the fact that it really isn't very good.

The Silurian Ultimatum is one of those stories that came from nowhere and appeared almost exactly as you see it now. Originally it had been intended to pit the 3rd Doctor against the Master but maybe that was too obvious.

Shot entirely on 4 Jan 2008 as were all the Dapol Doctor stories. The bulk of the set comes from a permanent cluster of sets. The console was created specially for this story.

As a very short story, with no 'special effects' it was simple to edit and only took a few hours. It remained unchanged during the edit from it's original storyline and script.

The Doctor refers to The Silurians in which the Brigadier blows up the Silurian base much to the Doctor's regret. The Sea Devil's final line about their plan will probably be picked up in a 5" figure story later in the year...
