19 years ago this month, our first fan film "Chimera" hit the internet. Starring David Nagel and Matthew Chambers, whom met for the first time at Longleat where episode one is set, feature as two Doctors brought together and pitted against the creature known as the Chimera.
The film can be watched or downloaded from our story page here.
The Chimera character was devised by The Battered Suitcase Theatre Company and originally appeared in a Doctor Who stage production way back in 2000. The Chimera costume was repurposed and used in our film, written by Matthew Chambers and heavily edited by David Nagel (because David likes a good laugh). Most of the story was shot at Longleat (originally the home of the only Doctor Who exhibition at the time) and includes appearances by members of the Project Dalek group.
This film continues to be well overdue for release on DVD; where a new soundtrack has been composed, a new edit completed and a whole bunch of new "special features" that haven't seen the light of day for 10 years. This is still, regrettably, in the pipeline - but not forgotten!
