The creation of Earth: The Series began, roughly, in April 2005. The Local Community Radio Station, Hilltown FM, had several requirements to obtain a 5-Year-Licence, one of these was to provide two audio dramas.
Over the years, I have heard many fan attempts at Audio Dramas for many shows. They inspired me to try and create my own. So when they asked if anyone could provide an Audio Drama, I willingly threw my hat into the ring.
But the series took longer to write then I had hoped since I didn't plan much on what was happening in the first series and let myself be carried away with the details of future episodes in seasons that would be made after the first one.
So when asked to provide a script for an upcomming broadcast I was forced to provide a script I had completed for myself. It was called, Doctor Who: Flip of a Coin. A Four-Part drama. Due to legal issues with the station and the British Broadcasting Corporation the script was refused permission.
Yet Earth was slowly approaching completion, still there were more problems than one person could reasonably handle. Yet that's the story for another time.
Next Time, I'll cover the real first draft and how it changed to how it currently looks.
