GIRL power of the intergalactic kind came to a Bournemouth park when Doctor Who faced old enemies the evil Cybermen.<br />
<br />
But the much-loved Doctor is no longer a quirky man.<br />
<br />
Gone are his long scarves, and eccentric dialogue - the new Doctor is a 36-year-old woman, played by theatre actress Deborah Blake.<br />
<br />
Film students from the town's Arts Institute have managed to pull off a starry coup by persuading the BBC to let them make a pilot film about the legendary Timelord.<br />
<br />

Film students at the highly respected arts college, formerly called Bournemouth & Poole College of Art and Design, approached the BBC and asked permission to make a short trailer. Once the film is finished, the student team hope to return to the BBC to see if they will be allowed to make three more episodes. <br />
<br />
The pilot is being filmed on a shoestring budget of only a couple of thousand pounds. <br />
