Wow... it's been a very long time since I last posted on here!!
Anyway, I am to use this blog and my new Twitter channel to keep you up to date with all the latest filming news - as we're in for some exciting times with 11th Regeneration!! (You can follow the latest news on the Twitter channel at https://twitter.com/JaimeCarroll)
Right, well, firstly, let's have a catch up!
Attack of the Zearok
"Attack of the Zearok" had been released last September and was a good ol' fun romp of an episode which was used to bridge the gap between Series One and Two. Ariel's memory was wiped so she forgot who the Doctor was and Strider left the TARDIS to stay on Earth to look after his sick Auntie. Which left the Doctor with Lance Hayden on adventures in time and space...
Series Two: Saving Grace
Series Two opened up with "Saving Grace" which is our most successful episode to date! Grace Thomson (from Realm of Dreams) returns and bumps into the Doctor and Lance Hayden in the middle of a Plasmavore scheme! When Grace suddenly inherits memories of the Doctor's past, he panics and kidnaps her to some far off location... leaving Lance Hayden behind on Earth...
The episode is also the most notorious for it's storyarcs! I will save it for another thread nearer the time of the finale.
So, Episode Two: Ascent of the Ferramenta is only a few days away. My, hasn't time gone by...

End of August Report
The date is the 31st August, 2008. The time is 23:26 as I'm writing this blog. And in just little over half an hour, it'll be September already! September? September!! It still feels like Christmas was last week.
Anyway, why am I emphasising the point of September? Well, after a 9 month absence, Doctor Who: The 11th Regeneration will be back on our screens! Well, monitors. But you get the idea.
Attack of the Zearok
Although no date has officially been confirmed, it looks like 'Attack of the Zearok' will be released on the LAST SUNDAY of SEPTEMBER to give 'Time Agent' enough time before the series created by Billy Treacy and produced by Jaime Carroll comes to a dramatic close!
Filming is all but complete. As previously mentioned, Dale Farrow (Strider), Paul Kay (Lance Hayden) and Tanya Wright (Ariel) have all completed all of their scenes. Jaime Carroll (The Doctor) needs to film a 10 second scene on green screen, along with green screen bits for the Zearok and that's offically all of the filming over and done with. Finally.
Already the special has gone into post-production with Billy Treacy and Tom Cook working on the Special Effects. CGI work on the interior and exterior of the Zearok spaceship is complete and is being edited into the footage!
At the moment, it looks like 'Attack of the Zearok' will be roughly 20 to 25 minutes long.
And the next time trailer... THE NEXT TIME TRAILER! WOW! Once you see the next time trailer, you'll fully understand why I've managed to keep my mouth shut (and a lot of credit goes to me for managing to keep my mouth shut as it is quite an achievement!!) for so long and why I've not been able to report anything on Series Two.

Updates (or lack of)
Once again, I must apologise for the lack of updates. So much has gone on that I rarely find the time out to write a simple blog! I can promise you that once the release of 'Attack of the Zearok' is fast approaching, the blog will be swarming with activty!
Attack of the Zearok
Anyway, speaking of 'Attack of the Zearok' I can confirm that all of Dale Farrow's (Strider) and Paul Kay's (Lance Hayden) scenes are all completed for the special. All what is left to be filmed is one last scene with the Doctor (Jaime Carroll) and Ariel (Tanya Wright) and that's the production of the special completed. Footage will then be sent off to the SFX and CGI experts whom will work their magic.
I've not given a release date for 'Attack of the Zearok' yet, as it depends how long the special effects will take. A trailer will also be released once the effects are completed and the release date is scheduled for the end of September so stay tuned.
Series Two
The post-production has been completed for Episode Seven of Series Two. So that's one down, eight more to go!
Filming for Episode Six is all but completed - just one short scene remains! Once the scene is filmed, the episode will be sent off to the SFX and CGI experts as it enters post-production.
Episodes One, Two, Four, Five, Eight have also been written and will enter the filming stage very shortly with Episodes Four and Eight being filmed simultaneously due to the need of summer locations. Episodes Three and Nine await to be written as of yet.
Below is a list of how each episode is looking:
Episode One: (Pre-production)
Episode Two: (Pre-production)
Episode Three: (Awaits to be written)
Episode Four: (Pre-production)
Episode Five: (Pre-production)
Episode Six: (Filming)
Episode Seven: Completed
Episode Eight: (Pre-production)
Episode Nine: (Awaits to be written)
Stay tuned for a weekly blog report! (Yes, I will find the time to write a report each week!)

> > > PRESS RELEASE < < <
It's here at last; Doctor Who: The 11th Regeneration returns!
A while ago, Jaime Carroll did confirm that in one of his online video diaries that he would release a press announcement regarding series two. After a lot of chopping and changing, here it is! (Note: There will be a video posted on Jaime Carroll's Youtube page displaying what will be said here)
What's happening?
Series Two will be longer than the first! Because there has been a lot of behind-the-scenes changing, this is the CONFIRMED schedule for the series:
In September 2008, a SPECIAL one-off episode will be released. This episode, titled 'Attack of the Zearok' will roughly be 25 to 30 minutes long. Clips of this episode have been seen in the 'series two next time trailer' and below are some exclusive pictures from the special episode:
(Right) The Doctor and Ariel outside the TARDIS and (Left) the Doctor with Strider and Lance Hayden.
The 'Attack of the Zearok' special will see Jaime Carroll return as the 11th Doctor, now sporting a brown shirt instead of his original grey one. Strider (Dale Farrow) and Lance Hayden (Paul Kay) return as part of the TARDIS Crew. New to the special will be Ariel (Tanya Wright) who joins the Doctor after Hayden and Strider get kidnapped by the Zearok!
After this special airs in September 2008, then Series Two will begin! However, Series Two won't officially start until MARCH 2009. Unfortunately, not many of the episode titles can be released until AFTER 'Attack of the Zearok' is shown due to SPOILERS. However, there will be a next time trailer at the end of the special and Series Two will also have NINE episodes, instead of eight as in series one.
The Cast
As mentioned above, Jaime Carroll returns as the Doctor, with Dale Farrow as Strider and Paul Kay as Lance Hayden. Tanya Wright plays Ariel in the special but there will be no Leo (Arron Carroll) until Series Two.
Rumours that Nip returns are false, as is Leo being the Master. No further comment will be made whether Jaime Carroll, Dale Farrow, Paul Kay or Tanya Wright will be in Series Two - this is just to confirm that they will be in the "Attack of the Zearok" special and any other news is pure speculation.
Andrew Mansell, who played one of the guards in 'Army of the Ancient Ghosts' in series one, guest stars as the Zearok and Paul Kay also voices the alien. Further cast names regarding Series Two will be announced AFTER 'Attack of the Zearok.'

So, just to confirm, here is the schedule for Series Two:
Special: Attack of the Zearok

May Day (!) Updates
Firstly, I must apologise for not updating this blog for, now what seems, forever! I have been very, very, very, very, very, very, very busy... yeah, you get the idea!
Anyway, I would like to start off with the fact filming has been going well. Episodes One and Four will be finished within the next month and Episode Five is now almost completed! Also, filming has started on Episode Seven, the first of a two part finale, whilst plans to start Episode Three are also in gear!
We have a few new cast coming into Series Two, but more news on that in a later blog update (and, yes, this blog will be updated frequently from now on).
Also, the website is slooowly coming together. So far, the main page and the series one episode page have been completed and the rest of the pages will soon follow.
Expect a new post on this blog at the end of the week when I will go over the week's filming progress!
