‘I do love a nice old-fashioned invasion.’ Intended as the first in a series of online animated dramas, Scream of the Shalka (2003) attempts to redefine Doctor Who for the 21st century. Following a traditional narrative formula, it rethinks the Doctor, the companion and the Master in ways that anticipate the later revived series. A victim of timing as much as of its own flaws, it remains a fascinating glimpse into an alternative vision for Doctor Who. Jon Arnold wrote The Black Archive #1: Rose. Includes the previously unpublished storyline for Simon Clark’s sequel, ‘Blood of the Robots’.
