Lungbarrow (1993)

-
Lungbarrow would've aired November 20th, 1993, being the first movie with Robert Lindsay as the Eighth Doctor and the only one with Julia Sawalha as Kate Tollinger, Sophie Aldred as Ace and many actors playing the Doctor's many companions.

This would've a rather unique title sequence. The credits in order are the BBC presents credit, the an Ian Frasier production credit, the a Graeme Harper film credit, the title, the Doctors' credit, the companions' credits and the writer's credit. Sweet Jesus, this would've been very long. All of this happens with Keff McCullough's Latin theme plays and the unused 1963 title footage happens behind the credits.

It would've been 1x120 minute movie. With that being said, here is Doctor Who: Lungbarrow.

THE SYNOPSIS

All is not well on Gallifrey. Kate is having someone else's nightmares. Ace is talking to herself. So is K9. Leela has stumbled on a murderous family conspiracy. And the beleaguered Lady President, Romanadvoratrelundar, foresees one of the most tumultuous events in her planet's history.

At the root of all is an ancient and terrible place, the House of Lungbarrow in the southern mountains of Gallifrey. Something momentous is happening there. But the House has inexplicably gone missing.

673 years ago the Doctor left his family in that forgotten House. Abandoned, disgraced and resentful, they have waited. And now he's home at last.

THE PLOT, SIMPLIFIED

The Doctor confronts his bizarre family of cousins at the house of ‘Lungbarrow’, his sentient ancestral home that is south of Gallifrey. Ace is being under attack by CIA agents, was then taken to the Doctor's planet by a strange portal, and meets many of his companions Romana, and Leela. The Doctor finds throughout the Gallifrain legend that the victors of the planet such as Rassilon, Omega, and ‘The Other’, we’re cursed with infertility by the sorcerer Pythia, which there wouldn't be anymore children on Gallifrey. The Doctor depicts ‘The Other’ when falling in Rassilon's trarinacle ‘loom’ storage beams where ‘the looms’ draw their energy. Thousands of years later, ‘The Other’ was reincarnated fully into an old man who's 244 years old, finds her granddaughter Susan after leaving her behind, steals the TARDIS, and ‘The Other’ became the Doctor.

THE REVIEW

Wow. Just wow. This movie. Is amazing. I mean, the Doctor returning to his home planet, a lot of his companions returning, literally everything about this movie is amazing! I can't believe the script was rejected! I mean... WOW!

RATING: 10/10
AWARD: Put it on the big screen!

Well, that's it for this episode for Doctor Who: Cerulean Future. Leave a comment on this post if you want more. And until then, see ya!

Season 33 (1996-97)

-
Season 33 would've aired from September 7th, 1996 to February 1st, 1997, being the first season with Hugh Grant as the Ninth Doctor, and the third season with Toby Whithouse and Debra Stephenson as Pearce and Riana Anderson. You've heard it here first, folks! Hugh Grant is the Ninth Doctor! And with a new Doctor, came new titles and a new theme, made by the one and only Vangelis. The titles start out in a vortex, where the TARDIS spins right at us and back where it was. The credits for Grant, Whithouse, and Stephenson fade in and out, making a fresh new logo appear. The creators' credits, the episode name/writer, and part number fade in and out respectively, ending the titles. The first part of the first serial is slightly different, as the name of Robert Lindsay replaces Grant's. It would've had 8 serials and 22x25 minute episodes. With that being said, here is Doctor Who season 33. NEW MILLENNIUM by GARY RUSSELL The Doctor, nearing the end of his eighth life, is c...

Everything would've been red, McCoy's face would've been replaced with Lindsay's and there would've been a new theme by Distant J. Like season 27, it would've had 4 serials and 14x25 minute episodes. With that being said, here is Doctor Who season 28. NIGHT THOUGHTS by EDWARD YOUNG A remote Scottish mansion. Five bickering academics are haunted by ghosts from their past.
