The UNIT Acronym

The United Nations Intelligence Taskforce is no more (not the organisation – the name!)!

The last time the full name was used onscreen was by the Ninth Doctor in ‘Aliens of London’. Since then they have only been referred to by the UNIT acronym. This was because, according to writer Russell T Davies, the real United Nations were no longer happy to be associated with the Doctor Who TV show.

However, I discovered today that for the return of UNIT later this year (in ‘The Sontaran Stratagem’) the organisation’s name has been changed to the Unified Intelligence Taskforce.

This doesn’t quite have the same snazzy ring to it, in my opinion. But if it avoids upsetting the UN…

This means that I may have to dub some of Elworthy's lines from Episode 1!! Or I could just leave it, and then change it for all the later episodes - with no explanation! That could be quite cool!

Davemas!

A quick message to say Happy Birthday to me!

26 years ago today, I entered the world - but was it ready for me? Only time will tell!

Film Footage

Here are the screenshots that I tried to upload yesterday. They are from a scene midway through Episode 1, and is the scene in which Captain Elworthy tells Professor Richards exactly what UNIT really do!

I have edited some more of the footage from Christmas, but I cannot upload any of the screenshots because Blogger seems to be playing up. I shall upload the images as soon as I can...

Film Footage

I have edited a some more of the footage I shot over Christmas. Below are some of the stills. They are from a scene very early on in Episode 1, and is the first appearance of Professor Richards in the series.

Bloopers

Although this Blog is about my current film series, I just thought I’d let everyone know that I have uploaded the Bloopers Video from my last film - a Star Trek Fan Film that I made, many years ago, at University.

As a special treat, I’ll even include a selection of the publicity stills!

Film Footage

Now that I have successfully put the first instalment online, I have begun to edit the rest of the footage that I shot over Christmas.

Below are some stills from a scene that I shot with Dave Cox, and is from Episode 5, which involves a parallel universe.
