The Surgery: Welcome to the Nineties

This week's installment of The Surgery is now up. You know how a single topical reference can really date a series and remind us that it was written and produced in 1995? Here's a good example.

London Comics Festival

Post-play post

Just a quick post to say hello and thank you to everyone who turned out to the performance of the new short play "Kaldor City: Metafiction" at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival yesterday. For those of you who didn't get a chance to see it, though, Paul Darrow and Patricia Merrick have agreed to record the play later this year... so stay tuned! In the meantime, check out SFL's website for many more exciting things on their schedule.

The Surgery again

In this week's episode of The Surgery, will hairy nipples and an appendix scar be enought to save Doctor Flask from a charge of murder? Download Episode 7 to find out!

Also, don't forget to come by the Apollo Cinema at Piccadilly Circus tomorrow at 5 to see a new Kaldor City short play starring Paul Darrow and Patricia Merrick!

Elisabeth Sladen

We were very sad to hear just now about the death of Doctor Who actress Elisabeth Sladen. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

New Kaldor City play at the Sci-Fi London Film Festival!

The Surgery Sings

This week on The Surgery, we encounter the Singing Man. Every town's got one; those men who wander around the high street singing at the top of their lungs. But most don't seek therapy, and especially not with Doctor Flask. Get Episode Six here.
