Doctor Who – Devious

news archive

Our news archive currently goes back to 1999, although there are other things of interest we show on the site which were from before then. Hopefully these will give a flavour of the Devious Project over the years. Whilst we are working to complete the episodes we won’t always give too much away before they are ready so it may seem sometimes like not much is happening. Not the case! – we are determined to complete the project and do justice to the filming we did mainly in the 1990s and 2000s. At times it is like a restoration project!

The big events in our history are documented on this site and include the Jon Pertwee filming back in ’95, the 2004 big dalek filming weekends and of course the many spin off events such as helping out with the 1999 Curse of Fatal Death Comic Relief sketch, the 2006 and 2007 stage plays along with other appearances. Some of this is in the news archive as well as dedicated sections in the menu above. Feel free to dart about and find out what makes us tick. If you find out at all, please let us know via “say hello”. Remember we do this for fun – it is our hobby. We have made firm friendships from this long project and work as a team.
