Myth Makers Season 2, Episode 7: Sophie Aldred

0 0 • 58 min • 0.0/10

Although she didn’t know where the TARDIS would go, Ace always knew what she wanted to do when it got there. For her Myth Makers, Sophie Aldred knew precisely where she was going, but that was about all. Nicholas Briggs has no idea about anything as Sophie takes him on a trip through South East London where she was born and brought up. No-one has any idea what will happen… a situation The Doctor would have loved. Don’t miss this original and dynamic production, which is (perhaps) an apt description of Sophie Aldred herself… Watch Myth Makers Season 2, Episode 7 Sophie Aldred in HD free online.

Tom Baker

Ask Doctor Who fans their favourite Doctor is and the majority are likely to name Tom Baker’s portrayal above all others. Much of Tom’s popularity has been fuelled by his reticence to appears in public or discuss his time in the programme. Little is actually known about the man or his memories of being the longest running Time Lord troubleshooter. At last this has changed. In an exclusive interview by Nicholas Briggs, at the location used for The Android Invasion, Tom discusses frankly his life and career.

Mary Tamm

Mary was beginning to get very tired of sitting on the bank, and of having nothing to do… So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. There was nothing so very remarkable in that, but it began one of Mary Tamm’s most extraordinary experiences. In the company of Nicholas Briggs and others she talks of her time travelling in the TARDIS while around her a curiously familiar sequence of events unfolds…

John Nathan Turner

John Nathan-Turner was the longest serving and probably the most well known producer Doctor Who has had. From the production of the last Tom Baker season in 1979 to Sylvester McCoy’s third and last in 1989, John oversaw one of the most controversial periods in the programme’s history. At locations used for The Curse of Fenric, John chats to Nicholas Briggs about his career, his ten year stint as producer, the casting of three Doctors… and puts the record straight about the reasons behind Doctor Who’s cancellation. John died in May 2002 and this release is dedicated to him.

Jackie Lane

Dorothea (Dodo) Chaplet had a far greater impact than her brief time as The Doctor’s assistant would suggest. She was brash, outspoken with disobedient traits that the first Doctor, William Hartnell, was to curb but never tame. Perhaps her looks were not the only thing that reminded him of his granddaughter… In a virtual TARDIS, Jackie recounts to Nicholas Briggs her memories of those pioneering days of television working on Doctor Who and her career after leaving the acting profession to found Advoice, an agency for voiceover artists.

They even found someone who remembered filming Doctor Who in a quarry 35 years ago!

Peter Purves is instantly recognised by millions as a presenter of children’s and factual television programmes, the most famous being Blue Peter.
