Web Series Wednesday: MINISTER OF CHANCE


WSW Header

Welcome back to the series of posts here at SciFi Mafia that we’re calling Web Series Wednesday where we devote a space to the wonderment of the web series. Every Wednesday we’ll cover an awesome web series and give you all the info to get into it.

This week we’re covering Masters of Chance.

Today we’re taking a break from the vast amounts of wonderment that YouTube provides and taking a dip into the podcast world. The Minister of Chance is an unofficial Doctor Who spin-off following one of five Time Lords to have survived the destruction of Gallifrey.

Originally voiced by Stephen Fry in the BBC’s Doctor Who webcast audio drama Death Comes To Time, the Minister has since regenerated to be voiced by Julian Wadham. Other recognizable voices include (and note two former Doctors lending their voices) Sylvester McCoy, Paul Darrow, Jenny Agutter, Philip Glenister, Tamsin Greig and Paul McGann.

The hope is to one day get the podcast series made into a movie totally funded by fans. There is a place on their website where you can donate to make that a reality, and a small donation will get you access to a first look at pictures and video released from the set.

It’s a great listen that actually reminds me of old-school Doctor Who, rather than newer episodes. You canĀ  download all the episodes from iTunes.

Check back with us next week for more Web Series Wednesday!
