StarringRichard E. Grant – The Doctor Derek Jacobi – The Master Conor Moloney – Dawson / Greaves Andrew Dunn – Max Craig Kelly – Joe Anna Calder-Marshall – Mathilda Pierce Diana Quick – Prime Jim Norton – Major Kennet David Tennant – Caretaker Written byPaul Cornell Produced byMuirinn Lane Kelly Directed byWilson Milam SynopsisThe first official, fully animated Doctor Who story! The TARDIS lands in a small English village in 2003, where the population are living in fear from ma malevolent alien force. With the help of UNIT and his nre friernd Alison, the Doctor discovers that a race called the Shalka are residing underground, preparing to strip away Earth's ozone layer and embark on a full-scale invasion of the planet ... BackgroundIn 2003, Doctor Who was about to celebrate its fortieth anniversary with little fanfare. But then BBC producer James Goss pitched an idea of a special animated tale to bring a brand-new story to the masses - screened exclusively on the BBC's official website. Previous Doctor Who webcasts were little more than a series of static illustrations, but Scream of the Shalka would be a much more ambicious project. Goss recruited Paul Cornell to pen the script, and in a casting coup engaged Richard E. Grant to portray the Doctor, Sophie Okonedo, Craig Kelly and Derek Jacobi (freeshadowing his triumphant portrayal of the Master in 2007's Utopia) rounded out a talented cast, along with a then unknown David Tennant in a minor role. Screening in six weekly episodes through November and December 2003, Scream of the Shalka was intended to be a continuation of the cancelled TV series, however the announcement soon after that Christopher Eccleston would be returning to BBC One as Doctor Who relegated Grant's Doctor to unofficial status. The story exists now as something of a curio, and is often regarded as a sideline to 'proper' Doctor Who, but the fact remains that this was the first BBC commission of new episodes since Survival in 1989 (disregarding Comin Relief/Children In Need specials). It was a labour of love for those involved and psved the way for more animations - BBCi's Shada in 2003 (starring Paul McGann), 2007's Dreamland (starring David Tennant) and reconstructions of missing episodes on DVD. | ||
