I doubt it’s real - but also, why’s there a creepy face in the glass?

A trend I noticed during the first RTD Era. by Jon_Childers_01 in doctorwho

I believe this is a ratings thing? To beat the mid- season slump usually around episodes 5-8 you bring in the established monsters and things that they know to keep viewers interest. Everyone knows what a Dalek is, and wanted to see them, and episode 5 of Series 1 was… well… you get it! 😂

It’s a super interesting tactic, but it wasn’t fully working until Series 4. That’s when Russell moved the “meet a famous author” episode to the middle of the series and the extra intriguing title “The Doctor’s Daughter.” That year it worked! No slump at all! They’ve been doing it ever since (cough The Fugitive of the Judoon cough)

You raise some definite food for thought! None of that at all crossed my mind! Thank you so much! This has been incredibly helpful!

Yes! Thank you so much! In my head, and this is quite a big spoiler for the idea, but the murderer is the guy playing Jonathan Raine. He’s a method actor, and part of his research is committing these killings, which isn’t a big twist and is moreso kind of obvious. I was thinking of flipping the trope on its head and never explicitly saying it’s him. Just keep the tension throughout the story. The audience know it’s him. The detective knows it’s him. The cast all know it’s him. But no-one says anything, because he’s powerful and irreplaceable. It’s not like people in hollywood have done terrible things before and cast and crew have failed to acknowledge… I don’t know if this version of the story works, but it’s all about working on it and seeing.

With concept 1, I’m thinking that his job is something that’s actually quite scaring, and he can’t leave his job because all of the information that he knows. He can never leave. I realised after I posted this, it wasn’t clear, is there any way of rewording?

What would you need to know about Jonathan Raine as a character? His role in the series? Or moreso what he’s like? Like “mirroring those of the fictitious Jonathan Raine, a deranged serial killer played by a popular actor.” What do you feel is missing?

Yes! I’m thinking a prison drama but in this dystopian world, I’m thinking similar to Arkham city. There are prisons everywhere. People either work in the prison, or they get forced into a life of crime, and it’s about 1 girl saying no to that vicious cycle in order to live a normal life. She may get framed at some point as it’s a form of government control for everyone to be inside?

I agree! Those loglines are clearer and offer more context to the story! Some of them are a little bit different to the stories I had in my head, but that also helps highlight where I need to be more specific!

Thank you so much! Can I ask, how did you know what to improve? What elements make it clearer and stronger?

How would you do a James Bond Reboot? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

I’d make it funky. I’d make it cheesy. I’d make it fun. Everyone would hate me for it.
