2016 (and 2017): Looking Ahead

We're around about a third of the way through "Resurrection". I've always envisioned the series as 16 stories, and so far that is still the plan. While the first third of the series has concentrated on getting to know Holly and Lilly, the next part of the series is going to concentrate on the relationships of the three time travellers with each other, and more emphasis on the Doctor and the Master.

The next story will be "Clarence", which will begin in January 2016. It's a more traditional story. The TARDIS lands on a remote Human colony which is being terrorised by a clown called Clarence. People are going missing and the Doctor, Lilly and Holly investigate Uncle Joe's Circus.






"The Edwardian Way", which is a kind of sequel to a "Darkpaths" story called "Lost in Time". It's also tied in to a spin-off story featuring the the Seventh Doctor and Ace called "The Ghosts of Gallows Inn". I'll be uploading "Gallows" before the Resurrection story, but you don't need to have read all three stories to enjoy each other, but it (hopefully) enhances your enjoyment.
The series then continues with





"Holly Dangerfield and the Book of Darkness" concludes the story arc that started with the very first
story as the Doctor returns Holly to her town. The Kro'Tenk, or Riders, or ready to break through into our world.

Then the Doctor takes on board a new companion in "A Beautiful Life". The Doctor takes the new companion to a planet called Vekash, a beautiful world populated by beautiful, artistic, intelligent aliens - but they soon discover that there is something dark at the core of the planet.








The series comes to another turning pont with "The Spires of Jacarthia", will see the continuation of the
Masters plan as the Doctor returns to Gallifrey to try and sort out the mess the Master has created. It will also see a heart-breaking decision have to be made from one of the companions. This should take us to the end of 2016.

Although it's a year away, I'm planning the next story, "UNIT: X" to kick-start 2017 as the series reaches its final third. The Doctor returns to Earth where he teams up with the new UNIT:X team to fight against an alien invasion from underneath London.








"Scouting for Aliens" continues the series with the TARDIS team getting trapped in dense woodland with a Scout group that are being pursued by tree-dwelling aliens.

The next story to come is "The Haunting of Mrs Webster", which is based on a number of events that actually happened to a lady I used to know when I was a child. The TARDIS investigates strange events as Emily Webster is haunted by a mysterious old lady and a monk.







The series takes a slightly more odd turn in "Dr. Who and the Men in the Moon". I originally wanted to
write this during the "Darkpaths" run, but had to cut it as I simply didn't have the time. The TARDIS lands on the Moon, where the Doctor encounters a mysterious, Human inventor called Dr. Who. It's a crossover with the Peter Cushing movies.

We head towards the finale, firstly with "The King of Jacarthia", which is the third and final part of "The Master Trilogy". The Master is in an almost unstoppable position and he holds all the cards as the Doctor and his companions work to try and bring him down.







The series will conclude with "Aftershock", dealing with the ramifications of what the Master has forced
the Doctor to do at the conclusion to the previous story. Hints of this story have already been glimpsed in 2015's special, "A Christmas from the Future?".








What lies beyond that? I cannot say yet. "Resurrection" as a series will end, but I already have ideas as to where to take this Future Doctor series next. My wife and I are adopting a child in the new year, so these plans may be scuppered as family life and time takes over, but I will try to continue to write an upload as often as possible.

As always if anyone wants to write for "Resurrection" then please contact me. Stories can be slotted in or writers can even tackle some of the stories already planned.

But for now, Happy New Year everyone!
