So if you have watched Series 1, you will already be aware of Hannah Celyn Griffiths. Hannah guest starred in Episodes 4 and 6 of Series 1. She played Jen, who became Liam's girlfriend. Well, we can officially announce that Hannah is back as Jen and is now a main character within Series 2. But that’s not all. Over Christmas, we had an email arrive from Hannah. She had written a full script with a story idea for Series 2 - we read it and that was that. Hannah is now our fourth writer on the project and has come on board as an associate producer. I had a quick chat with her before another writers’ meeting. What's your back story? I studied English at uni of Southampton with particular interest in creative writing. I've also acted since I was in high school - again with main interest in film and tv How have you got involved with Watchers Productions? I got involved through my attendance at the Heathcock pub quiz - every Tuesday 8pm people- and auditioned for roles and volunteered to help with the production side of life. I got on to the writers team after writing my own script and sending it to the team. I wrote the script because the characters and ideas wouldn't leave me alone What are you looking forward to on the production? I'm looking forward to seeing my ideas come to life really. It's something I've always wanted to do - screenwriting - and for me is a fantastic opportunity to find out how good or bad I am at it! What was your favourite Series One episode? Biased but for me it will always be Episode 4. This is mainly because Andrew dressed up so wonderfully. Other than that then it was Episode 2! Who's your favourite Doctor? Mine will always be dearest David T. But then I did meet him and he was wonderful! Please help us fund Series 2 by donating here.

We are very happy to announce that Craig Handley, one of our major members of the production team from Series 1, will be directing a number of Series 2 Episodes. Merthyr-born Craig is a lifelong Doctor Who fan; having watched his first episode (with Peter Davison) at the age of five. Since 2002, he has worked in both television and feature film production; first with HTV Wales, before working with both BBC Wales and BBC Films; primarily as a production runner, before working his way up to Script Editor and Assistant Director. He has also written an award-winning comedy short film, On All Floors which had the (dubious) honour of being played before the James Bond film, Die Another Day, when the latter was released in Wales, in 2002. Craig has always been interested in developing his craft as a camera operator and, combining this with his love for Doctor Who, has been delighted to work on Whovians. I caught up with Craig and we had a quick chat before we got down to business and started pre-production on his episodes. What are you looking forward to on the production? Firstly, I am looking forward to seeing what happens to the characters we met in series one; how their relationships, both with each other and their families; how each of them are now fairing and to help in taking them forward on their journey. Above all, I am looking forward to getting back on the Whovians set: to spend more time with the good friends and colleagues I made on series one and to once again, work together in crafting something special - all of us doing our best to bring the brilliant scripts to life and to sit back, once post-production is complete and watch those episodes go out to our wonderful audience. But this year is going to be a little different to last, in that I am undertaking some directing duties. To be given such an opportunity is something for which I am both extremely grateful and entirely humbled ! What was your favourite Series One episode? It's a tough choice between episodes 2 and 5, but if I was water-boarded into giving away an answer, it would have to be Episode 5. That episode had everything: Bradley, the Doctor, the TARDIS and K-9. What isn't there to love ?! But all of that is superfluous to the beautifully crafted script, the subtle performances from Rob D. Mealins, A.J. King and Helen Hughes. What resonated with me, above all else, was the tragic back story afforded to our version of the Doctor. As a father, I felt the pain that the character was going through; having almost lost my own son to a serious accident some years ago. Looking into the LCD screen on my camera, I noticed a strange watery substance forming; only to quickly realise that they were tears forming in me eyes. Who's your favourite Doctor? Despite my love for Christopher's incarnation, my favourite Doctor has to be the Tenth. David Tennant brought a whole new dimension to the role: he was funny but also a danger that had been absent with Christopher. The Tenth melted my heart, on numerous occasions; but none more so when he regenerated into Eleven. Yes, I'm a self-confessed Tennant groupie ! Filming on Series 2 begins this coming summer and we are Crowd Funding at this time. If you want to help us fund this project and see what perks you can receive, please click here.

Back in January (2016) Terrance Edwards one of our Exec. Producers was chosen to take part in a Ignite Event at the GLEE Club, Cardiff. Ignite events are run all over the country and they are a great event - it is where people are invited to give a presentation on any subject they like. However there are a few rules! The Ignite format is simple: 20 slides which automatically transition every 15 seconds. For the mathematicians amongst you, that makes just five minutes. Having only five minutes to get your passion over, inspires a much more concise presentation, with no time for waffling. So please check Ignite out and take a watch of Terrance's Presentation on Adventures in No-Budget Film-making (Whovians):
