"Dr Hall" is our spoof of
Doctor Who.
It features Mark Stalker in the lead role as a deluded Michael Caine
impersonator who believes he can travel through time and space in his
wheely bin.
We approached the making of this project in a different way to previous
Foiled Productions films. There were no scripts and no rehearsals - we just came up
with an idea for an episode, got together and filmed what happened.
Of course, to get the necessary coverage to do a good job of the
editing, it meant we had to repeat the entire thing several times
from different angles - a tricky task when it was mostly made up on
the spot.
With some of the later episodes the lead actor, Mark, prepared a rough
script a day or two in advance based on the idea of the episode, for
his dialogue at least. Although this helped with the planning of the
episodes it still left space for us to add improvisations on the day.
There are currently eight episodes of Dr Hall.
