Need Help for a Tentative Spec Script

[Joel_Kirk]

Why not just write a script using the Doctor you know? If its about showing off your writing, rather than getting it produced, why should it matter which Doctor is used?

You're correct, it shouldn't matter. My guess for the rule is so people won't submit scripts from shows that were from the 90s, 80s, 70s, etc. For example, I can see people submitting scripts for shows like "Hill Street Blues," "Buffy," or "ER" if there wasn't a production limit.

Well, its a bit of a grey area since Doctor Who is a "currently airing network or cable program" which fits with the rules of Austin Film Festival. even if the Doctor you might use isn't played by the actor who currently had the part.

Yeah, I see what you're saying.

Hmm...

One of the things about DW is that each Doctor has their own voice, so you weren't keen on the 10th Doctor, write a spec script for the 4th Doctor.

For me I preferred the 10th Doctor to the 11th but that is part of the show, I like Clara as a companion.

Dude, you sound like my agent now....

And you're ignoring the advice of your agent, why?

I've already written two spec scripts for the show but all for fun. One Dalek, one historical.
