 | Paul McGann stars in Doctor Who spin-off The Minister of Chance |
A character first introduced in the 2001 streaming multimedia project Doctor Who - Death Comes to Time, the Minister of Chance, rival Time Lord played by Stephen Fry stole the show from both Sylvester McCoy and John Sessions. One of the few survivors from The Second War in Heaven (a conflict between the Time Lords and the Great Vampires/Yssgaroth), The Minister of Chance gained a strong support base from Whovians in hope of seeing or hearing from the character again.
Almost eleven years later, the follow up is here and has received roaring support and glowingly positive early reviews.
The accolades are many and from the most popular of cult sources:
"Ambitious and innovative...excellent production that creates vivid, evocative soundscapes that drive forward the mood and suspense....gripping."
Elisabeth Mahoney The Guardian
"...terrific...put me in mind somehow of Iain M Banks' science fiction. The acting was great... a wonderful cast...the production values were inventive and pin-sharp."
Warren Ellis Writer, The Authority / Planetary / Red
"...is there even a way to begin describing the quality of the soundtrack? Every review of The Minister of Chance works out the same: it's fantastic... the actors are brilliant...the story is gripping...this pioneering radiophonic drama has us spellbound."

The production is funded entirely by you. By buying the episodes and merchandise you are actively allowing us to complete the series.
The series will run in seasons of six episodes. The first two episodes and a prologue have been made and the remaining episodes and seasons will be created when we have enough sales to allow us to make them.
The production stars accomplished actor Julian Wadham as the lead character, and several luminaries of cult science fiction including Paul McGann (The Eighth Doctor) as ambassador Durian, Sylvester McCoy (The Seventh Doctor) as Witch Prime, Paul Darrow (Avon from Blake's 7) as General Lord Rathen and Jenny Agutter (Logan's Run) as Professor Cantha.
Prologue- Ambassador Durian of Sezuan (Paul McGann) is despatched to the primitive backwater of Tanto to engage in diplomacy with The King (Mark Lewis). However, The King is unimpressed by Durian's offers of friendship, and things take an altogether sinister turn.
