An adventure by Russell T Davies

As part of tonight’s tweetalong of The Runaway Bride, Russell T Davies included some of his script including bits cut for time and CG budget. And also...

HERE IT IS. In preparation for today’s tweetalong, I went through some old papers to find the script and found… the VERY FIRST DOCTOR WHO SCRIPT I ever wrote!! On a manual typewriter! In 1985! 1986? Sixth Doctor and Mel!

Mind Of The Hodiac
by Russell T Davies

A financial empire controlled by someone who has lived far beyond his lifespan. A devoted servant. Ruthless stockbrokers - space yuppies. And a need for the Doctor.

“It does no harm to keep in touch with a little magic.”

Six pages out of sixty-two for the first episode, not enough to reverse-engineer an entire plot, but a good taste of the villains of the piece...
