The Masters of Luxor (unproduced TV story)
Template:Nc The Masters of Luxor (also known as The Robots) was an unmade Doctor Who serial by Anthony Coburn, the writer of the first-ever Doctor Who story An Unearthly Child. It was inspired by the reports Coburn had read about computers that were just beginning to be used within the television industry.[1]
It would have aired during Season 1 after An Unearthly Child and instead of The Daleks, the story ultimately commissioned. In September 1992, Titan Books published the script in book form as part of its Doctor Who: The Scripts line. David Whitaker was still trying to get the script in working order for production in 1964.
Fan production
In 2001, TS Entertainment made a fan production of Masters of Luxor as a four-part serial, starring Anthony Sarlo as the Doctor. The professional company Big Finish Productions is currently (2010) producing a series of audio dramas adapting unproduced Doctor Who teleplays; although the company has adapted other First Doctor-era stories (i.e. Farewell Great Macedon), it has yet to announce a production of Masters of Luxor.
