Dæmos Rising was a 2004 direct-to-DVD drama production from Reeltime Pictures. It features Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Douglas Cavendish – both of whom previously appeared in Downtime – and the return of the Dæmons.
Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]
When Kate Lethbridge-Stewart responds to a message from ex-UNIT operative Douglas Cavendish, she has no idea what she is getting herself into.
Arriving at Cavendish's country retreat, she finds herself caught up in ancient rituals and a demonic power her father had once helped to overcome. Summoned from its resting place by a tyranny from the future, a Dæmon is set to return to Earth. Can Kate and the broken Cavendish save the planet from destruction or future domination?

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

- The Sodality killed all the time channelers and time sensitives in the future.
Story notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The story was originally meant to be about the Sea Devils turning humans into their own kind, but Malcolm Hulke's estate wouldn't license them due to the revival of Doctor Who being planned and rights holders being approached by the BBC. As Keith Barnfather knew Barry Letts personally, it was easier to get the rights for the Daemons.[1]
- The cottage used for filming belonged to Miles Richardson's parents.
- Mention is made of an unnamed UNIT archive of alien artefacts, which has later been interpreted by some to be the Black Archive.[1] However, numerous mentions of this collection having "crates of shop dummies" indicate it to be the Warehouse seen in HOMEVID: Auton, which was the only UNIT alien archive in the Doctor Who universe at the time of Dæmos Rising's production. This continuity is fitting, given that the characters Douglas Cavendish and Kate Stewart were originally intended to feature in Auton. (REF: Downtime – The Lost Years of Doctor Who)
- The story also tied in to Telos Publishing's Time Hunter novellas range, with the credit, "Some concepts and characters based on the Time Hunter Books from Telos Publishing Ltd." appearing on the closing credits.

- Cavendish recalls visiting a secure UNIT facility which had crates of shop dummies. (HOMEVID: Auton)
- Following his dismissal from UNIT, Cavendish stole several items as a "retirement fund"; a dead giant maggot in Cavendish's shed, (TV: The Green Death) as well as a CyberNeomorph chestplate, (TV: Earthshock) Auton head, (TV: Spearhead from Space) troll doll, (TV: Terror of the Autons) a removed Dalek gunstick, (TV: Genesis of the Daleks) and a jar of jelly babies.
