Gamers

**Kamen Rider Gamers** of the new Kamen Rider franchise ran from June 2025 to September 2025. It was the first series produced by the joint-collaboration of BBC Essex and BBC London in cooperation with Toei and the BBC. It used the footage from the Kamen Rider series ***Kamen Rider Ex-Aid*** as its main source material. The series opened with Gamers Ready and concluded with Game Over.

## Overview & Plot

Gamers introduces the Game Riders who focus on retro games.

When a gamer-turned-doctor gets given a game drive thinking its for him to trial out, he opens himself into a new universe of wonder, mystery and intrigue to fight viruses who attempt to take over the world he knows and loves.

## Production

Gamers consisted of nine stories across 15 episodes. Its head writer was Andy Wilkins who took control of the series alongside Power Rangers, and thus the series was the start of what fans colloquially refer to as the start of the new "Wilko Universe era".

Under Wilkins' leadership, he was overseeing the production of Kamen Rider with Power Rangers alongside his project on Doctor Who.

However the decision to move the reintroduce Kamen Rider as Kamen Rider and not the previous format known as Masked Rider was so Wilkins knew he would be able to tap into an internationally acclaimed audience who would know the source footage. Wilkins did look at previous rider seasons from the start of the Heisei Era Phase 2 including W, OOO, Fourze and Wizard before believing Ex-Aid would be the most suitable to relaunch the franchise in a new world and a new market.

Wilkins would decide to implement a mini-series of sorts to implement past riders into Kamen Rider canon as a chance for new fans to catch up.

## Television stories

Gamers would copy the format as seen by Power Rangers Train Force.

Kiko’s star is an ancient artifact from the starfall event, it is the physical embodiment of a fallen goddess. The power of this star is greater than any other star, if any syphon were to come close to it would evaporate them instantaneously and non-syphons can’t get close to it either due to radiation coming from it. It’s been hypothesized that it has the power of all the energy in the universe and then some hidden within it. If the star were to shatter it could create another big bang and be the end of this universe as we know it.

## Story

The year is 1988. For Jon and Evan, its been non-stop emotional pain for them as they have attended funeral after funeral involving their friends who have died of AIDS. They both realise it could be their last Christmas together as they both attempt to fight the infection of AIDS like their friends did before them.

When the Tardis happens to land outside their flat in London, things take a turn for the better as the Doctor offers to take them on a journey throughout time and space back in time for tea. Knowing the Tardis can show the future, the Doctor decides to give Jon and Evan a trip to the past, present and future of Christmases like nothing they've ever known.

First off is a trip to Christmas 1388 to see how festivities were celebrated across twelve days for the people of Medieval England before a trip around the world to see how Christmas is celebrated in 1988 before eventually making a trip to 2598 to see how the future celebrated Christmas across the universe.

Eventually the Tardis lands back at Jon and Evan's flat as Christmas Day is almost over for yet another year. However whilst couple are thankful for the Doctor taking them across the universe, she has one more trick up her sleeve for them both. She gives the couple a special tablet of AZT which will be released inside their bodies for the next 10 years which should hopefully protect them and help fight the infection. She also informs them that AZT will become common to use so by the Doctor's logic, she has simply assisted with the delivery of it than being a hindrance to it.

10 year pass and the Doctor returns back in the Tardis. As expected, Jon and Evan have survived thanks to the Doctor's help. But this time around, its Jon and Evan's turn to treat the Doctor as they welcome her in for Christmas Dinner with them.

Energy retention light emission

As stored energy escapes from an object the light emitted will change wavelength depending on the energy retention level.

## How it works

### Energy retention

Every syphon has an energy retention, this is how well they hold in a given amount of energy. Typically this decreases over time and as the energy level increases.

### Light emitted

The energy that is emitted reflects an objects ability to retain energy and is a visual tell to how much energy it is losing and at what rate. Things with lower rates of emission will be in the purple wavelength of light and the best will be in the red light wavelength

Draenor

The planet Draenor, which is a temporary placeholder name, is a very greeny planet in a thinly populated solar system with only seven other planets.

Draenor is about 16.2 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 7.58 times that of Earth.

A single day lasts 36.93 hours and a year lasts 261 days. The planet is made up of 11 continents, which make up 46% of the planet's landmass.

5 moon(s) orbit the planet and Draenor itself orbits a yellow sun in a wide, elliptic orbit.

The plant-like organisms on this planet are almost exclusively types of grass. They can reach incredible heights due to the strength of some species, while others would be barely noticeable on the floor, if not for their spectacular colors. Shrubs, bushes and flowers are also fairly prominent, but fungi and trees are nearly non-existent.

Many of these organisms have developed unique ways to prevent them from being eaten. While many of them taste bad and a few are even poisonous, some have gone the extra mile and have become hard to digest. Any part of them that does get eaten and manages to survive an animal's digestion will often end up regrowing from that small piece, which now has plenty of nutrients from the animal's poop.

The underwater world of this planet is truly a feast for the eyes. Thousands of different soft and hard coral species cover the ocean floors, most of which have a form of bioluminescence, which makes the night even more magical than the day. These bioluminescent corals offer homes to plenty of creatures, which they need to be cleaned, while at the same time trying to attract the very same creatures with their lights so they can eat them. A truly remarkable balance.

Finding higher forms of intelligence on other planets is something we as humans have dreamt of for ages, both for better and worse. The higher species on this planet are no different, in fact, these species are far more dedicated to it than humans are currently. Of course, the fact that these species have superior technology and a more peaceful society greatly benefits in their goals. Numerous space missions, both manned and unmanned, hundreds of space observation centers and hundreds of thousands of scientists and other professionals are the main force behind the goal to find other life in their galaxy and the universe. While they have discovered a fair deal of life, none of them are intelligent enough to even try to begin communications with.
Ben Aaronovitch

**Ben Aaronovitch** is a writer and script editor for Doctor Who.

## Biography

### *Doctor Who* and related work

Ben Aaronovitch has past experience with Doctor Who having written the Seventh Doctor episodes Remembrance Of The Daleks (1988) and Battlefield (1989). He has also done work for the show having written numerous novels during the "Wilderness Years".

Andy Wilkins wanted to bring back a few familiar faces from that Seventh Doctor era and as a result, Aaronovitch was one of the first to be contacted about returning to the show as part of Wilkins' backroom team in getting the series back up and running. It was therefore decided that Aaronovitch would write two episodes in the first season which included trips to previously visited planets in Peladon and Karn with Andrew Morgan directing both as part of the Block Six recording.

It was whilst pre-production was taking place for the first season that Wilkins decided to officially appoint Aaronovitch as script editor with his former colleague Andrew Cartmel coming in as producer for the series.

#### Work on spin-offs

Aaronovitch was also commissioned to play a part in two writing episodes for the first spinoff series The Time War Chronicles in which he wrote "Secrets Of Romana" and "Wheels Of War".

Amazonia

The planet Amazonia, as it's called by most scientists, is a desert planet in a thinly populated solar system with only six other planets.

Amazonia is about 1.9 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 0.90 times that of Earth.

A single day lasts 19.97 hours and a year lasts 137 days. The planet is made up of 7 continents, which make up 45% of the planet's landmass.

1 moon(s) orbit the planet and Amazonia itself orbits an orange sun in an almost perfectly circular orbit.

The plant-like organisms on this planet are almost exclusively made up of bushes. While flowers, shrubs and a few trees do exist, fungi are nowhere to be found. The bushes managed to dominate the planet and have done so by growing in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. One species grows so big they appear to be dozens, sometimes even hundreds of bushes, but it's actually just one enormous bush.

Almost all organisms want to prevent being eaten and many do so by growing thorns or excreting horrible tasting fluids, but there's one species which, in a way, needs to be eaten to make sure the species survives. Once this species has grown to a mature size, it will stop regrowing. Instead it will begin storing energy, which makes it more appealing to animals. Once animals begin eating it and eat enough of it, the energy stored deep within will be transferred to all the seeds, which will be released simultaneously. The seeds get stuck to the animals, who are too busy eating the parent, and are taken with them. The extra energy stored within them will give a temporary growth boost in the vital first weeks.

If it weren't for the few dozen aquatic plants, the waters of this planet would be nearly lifeless. However, the few plant species that do exist have conquered every part covered in water. Many of them are highly specialized in surviving a specific depth, which gives every depth its own unique eco-system and all the beauty that comes with it.

Necessity is the mother of invention and that's exactly why the higher species on this planet have highly advanced technology. Their planet has been under constant threat of natural disaster, but from their own planet as well as from space. This has resulted in strong weapons, nature controlling technology and planet defense mechanisms. While the natural disasters have lead to a lot of grief, it's fortunate they evolved their technology at such a rapid pace or else they wouldn't have been able to defend themselves against an alien threat.
Republees

Republees - political movement, party and group of people officially participating in Roman elections since 250 BC.

It is a distinct group composed of both patricians and plebeians, advocating for a balanced representation of all social orders in the Senate. They might be marked by their pursuit of concrete legal reforms to ensure broader political participation.

The Republees could uphold republican values and aim for widespread political participation while maintaining a strong, united Roman state. They might as well be vocal advocates for Rome's expansion, positioning themselves as the party of the people, but also valuing military strength and conquest.

Pivotal figures could include Lucius Junius Republee - the founder, who championed balanced societal representation.

The Republees, through their distinctive inclusivity, might have had a profound impact on Roman law and society.
First Roman Hunger

First Roman Hunger - period in history that was happening from 680 BC until 575 BC. By which period, the Roman Empire had been mired in the multitude of crop failures and drought that swept over the continent. These annoyances put the Romans into economic straits, and the famine that ensued set off the crises that shook the Western world for centuries. This was one of the hardest times of Roman history. The First Roman Hunger is separated by three parts: first part lasts 20 years, second - 40 years and third lasts 45 years.

## (680-660 BC)

At that time it's only beginning. In late spring or early summer 680 AD there was a massive climate change that already destroyed 25% of harvest.

Coliseum bombing

## Colosseum Bombing

The main organizator of bombing is Lucius Vandall - leader and founder of the Vandalls. He used dynamite, which Roman Empire was not familiar with. Lucius himself called the bombing "Colosseum Furens".
