History with Time and Space[]
Rhys Cropper was one of the original creators of Time and Space along with friend Daniel Isaac. Sometime in 2007/8 Daniel and Rhys planned to do a Doctor Who series together along with Kate Isaac and Kyle Cropper. They confirmed it to be Rhys as the Doctor.
They filmed the first episode of the series in which the Doctor and companion (Kate Isaac) meet Captain Jack Harkness (Kyle Cropper) and they travel to a planet where only a scientist remains. It eventually turns out to be the Master (Daniel Isaac) who regenerates after Jack Harkness shot him. The episode was roughly 20 minutes in lenght but due to technical issues all clips of the production were lost.
This didn't stop Daniel and Rhys and they planned to restart their series in the near future the next time they saw each other and Rhys lives in Sydney with Daniel living in Brisbane.
Daniel began plotting a series of stories in 2009 just before the official Time and Space. He plotted 3 series with Rhys, Himself and Kyle as the Doctors respectively. Daniel then became friends with James and Daniel expressed the idea of Time and Space to James and the series started.
Half way through filming Season 1 Daniel wanted to keep Rhys a part of Time and Space so he made him the 11th Doctor in a series of prequel episodes which would be the Christmas Specials along with 2012 Specials episodes.
Rhys is viewed by many as being the most comical Doctor in the series. To Daniel and James he is their favourite Doctor of the series as he has character and personality.
Rhys has written only two episodes of Time and Space. He co-wrote the 2009 Christmas Special Invader of the Dead along with Daniel Isaac. He wrote his own Children in Need Episode What's Your Perfect Sunday? which saw a lot of comedy in Time and Space.
