10 Unmade Doctor Who Stories We Wish We'd Seen
3. The "Live" Halloween Special
*Can special be replaced with Episode in the entry title please? On further research it was never considered as a special!*
Another fourth series story that was eventually abandoned by the production team was Century House, written by Tom MacRae. The writer had previously written the Cyberman two-parter for the second series and was this time given a very different concept by Russell T Davies. Designed to function as the "companion-lite" episode, it would focus mostly on the Doctor taking part in an episode of Most Haunted.
Donna would be watching the live broadcast at home as the Doctor and a team of TV ghost hunters investigate the haunting of the Red Widow. Davies liked the script, but worried that, following The Unicorn and the Wasp, there would have been too much comedy. He also felt he'd given the writer a poor premise and no longer had faith in the concept.
The story was eventually shelved and replaced by the RTD penned Midnight, a far scarier episode than Century House would have been! It was a fun concept but it's unlikely we'll ever get to see it given that TV ghost hunting isn't as popular as it used to be.
