Doctor Who Vs. Sea of Souls, Series 1

This supernatural drama series

from BBC Scotland and Sony

Pictures was created and written

by David Kane, produced by Phil

Collinson (before he moved onto

the revival of Doctor Who), and

was based around investigations

at Clyde University into psychic

 and paranormal phenomena. Dr.

Douglas Monaghan, Dr. Andrew

Gemmill, and Megan Sharma

were played by Glaswegian Bill

Paterson, Dubliner Peter

McDonald, and London-born

Archie Panjabi.

The six-part series debuted on
