University of Central Lancashire students are participating in a complete live action remake of the missing Doctor Who episode Mission to the Unknown.
The painstaking three-day shoot began at 8:30 a.m. on February 20, complete with sets, costumes and Dalek voice actor Nicholas Briggs. Peter Purves and Edward de Souza were present for the start of filming. Peter Purves played Steven Taylor and played Edward de Souza Marc Cory in the missing episode.
Final clue before a reveal tomorrow. Edward de Souza and Nick Briggs are joining me at UCLAN in the morning. I think it is a gas!
