Insomniac Whovian 18th - 24th April

You're gonna hate me. It's SPIN-OFF WEEK for Insomniac Whovian. I know what you're thinking. "Oh, that's not bad. Bit of Torchwood, Sarah-Jane, K-9 and Company... that's not bad at all"

Oh, you're so wrong. It's a bunch of unofficial Doctor Who spin-offs featuring loads of the Doctor Who cast. The list below features the various YouTube links...

18th: Shakedown: The Return of the Sontarans (1995) - a 70 minute drama featuring Sontarans attacking a solar-yacht. Stars a number of Doctor Who companions such as Carole Ann Ford (Susan Foreman) and Sophie Aldred (Ace)... but.. not as those characters. Confusingtastic!

19th: PROBE: The Zero Imperative (1994) - 60 minutes, written by Mark Gatiss. Featuring Caroline John as Liz Shaw. So, surely this is a legit spin-off! It even features John Pertwee, Sylvester McCoy and Colin Baker as The Doctors. Not that Doctor though. Three different doctors. So, yes. Highly confusing.

20th: PROBE: The Devil of Winterbourne (1995) - 60 minutes, written by Mark Gatiss. Features Peter Davison as Definitely Not The Doctor.

21st: PROBE: Unnatural Selection (1996) - 60 minutes, written by Mark Gatiss. Features Geoffrey Beevers this time. He played The Master once.

22nd: PROBE: Ghosts of Winterbourne (1996) - 60 minutes. Features Peter Davison again. As Not The Doctor.

23rd: To make up for lack of "proper" Who stories, the 23rd will be "Prepare for The Time of Angels". I'm watching the Blink and the Silence in the Library two-parter, preparing us for..

24th: The Time of Angels

Huzzah!
