Some time after the second Blake's 7 script, Tanith Lee was asked by the BBC to submit a script for Doctor Who. She did a proposal, but since she hadn’t been watching the series for a while she happened to use an idea that they’d recently used for another episode. As a result, the proposal was rejected. She did another proposal to replace it, which they just plain didn’t seem to like. Nothing more came of it. No actual script was ever written. (information provided by Calle Dybedahl).
An adaptation of the short story Nunc Dimittis was broadcast as an episode of the made-for-cable anthology series The Hunger in 1999. The script was written by Gerald Wexler, the episode was directed by Russell Mulcahy, and introduced by David Bowie. The series was produced by Terence Stamp.
