The Outline

Before doing anything else, I decided on an outline for the series.

Seeing as this is based on an American format, I decided that the series would be 24 episodes long, with each episode being 45 minutes long, with three lots of 5-minute ad breaks.

The series will feature traditional, Classic Who-style multi-parters, as well as American-style one-off episodes. The series will have several ongoing storylines (or "arcs"), in keeping with 90s American sci-fi shows.

Currently, there are two three-parters, four two-parters, and the remaining ten episodes are one-offs.

All the episodes have working titles, as well as a basic premise for the adventures.

Later on, I fleshed this outline out with a treatment, as though pitching the series to a television company. This will also serve as the template for the writing.
