'Who Peter' DVD Documentary due for 2010.
This news has been reported on several websites, most notably on Doctor Who Online.
DWO caught up with 2|entertain's Commissioning Editor; Dan Hall, who has confirmed the brand's biggest Doctor Who DVD Documentary to date entitled 'Who Peter'.
"I am delighted to confirm that we are nearing the end of production on our biggest documentary to date. It is a two-parter due for release next year, presented by Blue Peter / Strictly Come Dancing star, Gethin Jones.
Shot in the BP studio and the BP garden, the programme, Who Peter, was devised by Blue Peter producer Richard Marson, and produced by Chris Chapman of Dene Films."
Chris commented: “With the help of a packed cast of interviewees including Peter Purves, Janet Ellis, Biddy Baxter and Russell T Davies, we spent two action-packed days filming at the BBC and – hopefully – the result is something that sums up and celebrates the quirky bond between the two shows."
We'll add more information once the DVD has been released.Labels: Doctor Who

What do you get if you combine Les Dennis sporting a gentleman's moustache, a freezing studio and some of the best production companies in the North East? More details here.Labels: Pass The Parcel, Pitching
This was a pitch for a project that never happened, an animated bookworm. Chris designed and built this little character in no time at all, nice isn't he?

Back in October 2005, as part of our work on the first series of Hypedrive, we were required to build a 3D computer model of Nick Frost, Captain Henderson. We had to show him floating through space from the HMS Camden Lock to another ship nearby. There wasn't the budget to build a spacesuit and our work had to link up directly with the next shot of him entering the other ship. The writers suggested that all the suits would double up as hyper-thin spacesuits, so all you'd need to go outside would be a helmet and gloves. I took some reference shots of the helmet...




Nick was protesting that he couldn't get it off and for a moment I thought I was going to kill the leading actor! Thankfully I had been the victim of Nick's humour, he removed the helmet grinning. Somewhat flustered I continued with my reference photography, getting front and profile shots of Nicks uniform. Alas I didn't notice the large perspective shift in the pictures - I'm taller than Nick and I was looking down on him instead of being level with him. So the pictures were less than perfect as a reference point.
