The 60th Anniversary Special[]
Whilst writing "The Pyron Invasion", the 2020 pandemic struck and the proposed plans for the series 5 lead up to the 60th anniversary were put on hold as a lot of the cast and crew were front-line workers. This pushed back the release date of the 2020 Christmas special back a year to allow more time for series 5's development.
Toward the end of 2021 a decision was made to reduce the episode count of the 5th series in order to alleviate pressure, going from a 13 episode run to a run of 6 episodes in 2022, with a further 6 in 2023 culminating in the 60th anniversary special. This was the running plan for a majority of 2022, but when it became apparent this time frame could not be met, some logistics were muddled around and a plan was produced.
The 60th anniversary special will consist of a prologue following the events of "The Pyron Invasion" and then transition into the 60th Anniversary Special itself.
The 60th Anniversary Duology will star Ross Pickering & Siarlot Lloyd as The 14th Doctor & Phoebe Brooks... But will also feature Josh Hill as the 13th Doctor, Jake Hall as the 16th Doctor, Phillip Castle as the Future Doctor, Michael Alexander as The Master, Sebastian Bird as Lord President Vorum, Vicki Gover & Amber Ford as Daisy Cartwright & Serena, Joanna Elizabeth Bott as Laura Atkins, Joshua Coy as the Daleks, Siobhan Gallichan as The 1st Doctor, and many more...
