## Notes & Trivia

* The pre-production of Series Two was planned out during the production of the Series One finale: *The Bridge to Eternity*.
* Series Two originally included a recurring villain known as the Guardian, in the form of the Kartork (as seen in the Finale) who would then take the form of a human. He was originally working alongside Romana, in disguise as the Boss, and begins to turn against her. He was meant to release Missy from Prison and overthrow Romana. However, the writer thought this would include multiple plot holes and side plots, and the idea of having too many villains felt too much to handle in the series. Matt wanted Missy to be the main antagonist of the series and the story to focus on the Doctor's choices between Romana and Missy. So the character was then removed from the episode.
* *Arthur and the Wizard Doctor* was originally used for a UDWF1 Matt Smith series back in 2011, as a two part story. However the series never continued production after the first half of the series opener was released. The idea of the Doctor meeting King Arthur was always a fan fiction Matthew Lee wanted to see on television. After the Doctor Who episode: *Robot of Sherwood* was released, Matt decided to bring the original story back into his own Figure Adventures.
* *The District* by Kenny Colliver was meant to be Episode 3. However the production work was difficult to produce at the time. The episode was removed from the series but Matt wishes to look back on it in the future because he quotes: "I like the premise of fake news and altered television broadcasts in Doctor Who". The only clips of the episode can be found only on the series trailers.
* *Day of the Cybermen* was originally entitled *Experiment of the Cybermen*, based on Matthew Lee's fan made *Sarah Jane Adventures* drawing he produced. The actual script by Sam Lloyd was originally entitled *Return to the Tenth Planet*. After seeing a celebration video of the Cybermen's creation, Matt thought the name of the hashtag name was perfect for the title. The original title was later used as a tagline for the poster and teaser trailer.
* *To Be Brave* is actually two separate scripts by Jamie Marsh and Jonathan Who which were put together by Matt. Whilst reading, he thought they both had a similar premise and the idea could work together.
* Episode Four was originally called *Fires of the Earth*.
* *The Time Lord's Bane* is the only single video of the series.
* The Finale was intended to be a single episode but due to the extended production schedule and due to a long script, the episode was then split into two parts.
* Matthew Lee notes *The Time Lord's Bane* was the most difficult production he ever worked on.
