Doctor Who

An original script used in the production of the long running BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.

This is an original screenplay for the unproduced Doctor Who movie of the late 1980s, originally conceived by Peter Litten and George Dugdale and written by Mark Ezra this third draft screenplay is the rewrite penned by Johnny Byrne who had previously written The Keeper of Traken, Arc of Infinity and Warriors of the Deep for the series. The script comprises of 109 pages in addition to a cover page featuring the title 'DOCTOR WHO-THE MOVIE' with writing credit to Byrne and Daltenreys Limited copyright, the production company owned by Litten and Dugdale which had purchased the film rights from the BBC.

This was the personal copy of series producer John Nathan-Turner who received it from producer Peter Litten in February 1989. Accompanying the script is a covering letter on Coast to Coast Productions headed paper addressed to Nathan-Turner at BBC Union House in which Litten states they do not yet have a start date for production, this is signed in Litten's hand in blue pen.

The script remains in generally good condition with some edge and corner wear, overall fine.

An exceptionally rare example of an original script from this ill fated big screen production.
