Mission Dalek Unveiled: It’s a Competition!

We – like many others – were questioning just what the mysterious Mission DALEK teaser was earlier this week. Now we know: it’s an opportunity to meet Peter Capaldi and visit the Doctor Who studios in Wales!

But there’s a condition: you have to create a new adventure for the Doctor, taking the clues in the video above as your starting point. To make the adventure, you’ll first need some inspiration. You’ll also need some time to download the assets that the BBC has provided.

Yes, that’s right: around 1 GB of rights cleared photos, videos and audio clips for you to use to create a 90 second clip. While the competition is only open to UK residents, the BBC hasn’t barred international fans from getting involved, and while they won’t be in with a chance of winning the prize, there is always the real prize to consider, that of creating the best adventure from the available material.

All you need to remember to do is upload to the Internet (YouTube seems a good bet, where you’ll find a small selection of entries already) and attach the #missionDALEK tag to your entries. Find out more on the BBC’s website, and here’s my entry (which irritatingly runs to 92 seconds when uploaded, despite being less when edited…)

Feel free to share your own entries!
