Kaldor City (audio series): Difference between revisions

Using his casting connections from the ''Blake's 7'' audios, Stevens approached Darrow who agreed to play the role. Series regulars [[Trevor Cooper]], [[Brian Croucher]] and [[Peter Miles]] were also known to Stevens from the same audio productions. [[Russell Hunter]] was contacted through a friend of Stevens and agreed to reprise the role of [[Kiy Uvanov|Uvanov]] from ''[[The Robots of Death (TV story)|The Robots of Death]]''. [[Scott Fredericks]] who originally played the role of [[Carnell]] in the ''Blake's 7'' episode ''Weapon'' proved more difficult to track down due to residing in Ireland. Stevens eventually got in touch through BBC Residuals, who kindly forwarded a copy of the script. Stevens later recalled: "I'd written a script with Carnell in before I'd even contacted the actor. It would have been a terrible mess if he'd decided not to do it."<ref>[http://www.radiodramarevival.com/the-true-history-of-magic-bullet-an-interview-with-alan-stevens-producer-of-kaldor-city-and-faction-paradox-part-1-of-2/ The True History of Magic Bullet: An interview with Alan Stevens, producer of Kaldor City and Faction Paradox.

* In 2012, two stage plays were performed based upon the continuity established by the series: ''[[Robots of Death (stage play)|Robots of Death]]'' and ''[[Storm Mine (stage play)|Storm Mine]]''. These were adapted by [[Alan Stevens]] and [[Fiona Moore]] from the [[The Robots of Death (TV story)|television]] and [[Storm Mine (audio story)|audio]] stories of the same name. In the case of ''[[Robots of Death (stage play)|Robots of Death]]'' all the BBC owned elements were removed, notably [[the Doctor]] and [[Leela]] replaced by Kaston Iago and [[Elska Blayes]].

* ''Kaldor City'' was written as a six-part audio series. Since the release of ''[[Storm Mine (audio story)|Storm Mine]]'' there have been four attempts to develop a new 'Kaldor City' story by established Doctor Who and/or spinoff writers, none of which have, to date, managed to progress beyond the draft stage. Series producer [[Alan Stevens]] maintains, "If there's an interesting enough idea out there, the series will continue, but at the moment we're waiting for that idea to come along.<ref>[http://www.kaldorcity.com/audios/faction/faq.html The True History of Faction Paradox: Frequently Asked Questions]</ref>In fact, [[Fiona Moore|Fiona]] and I even wrote ''Kaldor City 7'' ourselves, and then threw it away, because it just proved to us that the series had come to a natural end with [[Storm Mine (audio story)|Storm Mine]]."<ref>[http://www.radiodramarevival.com/the-true-history-of-magic-bullet-an-interview-with-alan-stevens-producer-of-kaldor-city-and-faction-paradox-part-1-of-2/ The True History of Magic Bullet: An interview with Alan Stevens, producer of Kaldor City and Faction Paradox.
