Description

This doesn't exist as such as a video. It was a project which came about because I thought it was a shame that Actors didn't get to do what they do best at conventions ie Act. So we planned on doing an hour long play at our 1993 convention using video as "evidence" against Davros when he is put on Trial by the Time Lords from the CIA (Celestial Intervention Agency) We were extremeley lucky and Privileged to be able to have Michael Wisher playing Davros for us. He was a Gentleman, a true Professional, and an honour to work with. I cannot praise him highly enough. He did the two performances in rapid succession in that outfit. and for me it was the greatest moment of Dr Who magic that I have ever experienced to see and hear him reprise his role. Sadly as he was obviously only in the live sections there are no recordings of the event as we were forbidden by Terry Nation or his agent to record the performance. However the video evidence still exists and even includes some specially written music by Mark Ayres.
