The Guide: After all, we gave all the tomorrow's in the world
Jess: All the tomorrow's in the world?
The Guide: Once you've fallen down the kaleidoscope baby, there's no going back. For you. For me. For all of us.
In a nutshell...
Jess is being chased in her dreams, her life isn't making any sense and her boyfriend feels familiar, but with a growing unfamiliarity, was she really born in the 1960's? Why is her life so mixed up? And what is it that lurks within the shadows?
"The comic version managed to entine Allan and Jacob to create it, so what is it that makes this one so unique?"
"It's very Moffat", comments wrestling/film making you tube star, Luke Walters as he watches through episode 3 of Raffert and Kay's take one Doctor who. This is in some ways a mid series finale with a twist; no Doctor! Originally Allan and Jacob had prepared a big mid series finale that would have more questions and confusion for the main series finale, but die to lack of cast commitment the episode had to be scrapped.
Forever dreaming was always going to be an episode in the series and began with Allan's original starting point of being something like the Trueman Show.
I wanted the audience to be confused from the start of the episode", explained Allan. "And then go on to make them more confused until the very last scene! We certainly achieved this but soon found new inspiration." It was on the same month that planning for the Doctor who Series begun that Doctor who magazine published it's new comic "Forever Dreaming" by Jonathan Morris.
"We'd heard of comic adaptations before:, Allan went on. "Doctor who had done it before and our friend Jaime Carroll had also adapted his fair few and we thought it worked".
"Jonathan Morris has done a very good job on the comic and we wanted to use it to produce something he would be proud of", Jacob Kay takes over. "We decided that we'd take various themes and gave the bad guys our own name too".
Although this episode doesn't give the same amount of clues as it's original counterpart, it does establish a certain growing plot in the series and shows Jess choosing to join the Doctor might not just have been her love of history, make sure you don't miss it!
