End of Days was a special one-off three-part serial forming the fifth season of Leftover. It was written by Russell T Davies & Jane Espenson and directed by Rachel Talalay.

Synopsis

On the same day across the Earth, the concept of death is suddenly nullified when it is found that people who have suffered mortal wounds or fatal diseases are unable to die. This is initially seen as a religious miracle, but the absence of deaths begins to strain medical resources and spread diseases around the globe; the world's governments estimate that unless something is done, the world will be unable to sustain the population growth within four months.

Background Information

Development

After the cancellation of Leftover in 2005, original creators, Terrance Dicks and Barry Letts, were furious, as they believed the show had been cancelled for no proper reason.
In early 2008, Dicks and Letts met with Doctor Who's producer, Gary Russell, and executive producer, Ira Steven Behr, to discuss the chance of reviving Leftover in some form and they especially pushed for a movie.
Initially these proposals were rejected out of hand but later that year, they came to an agreement to include Leftover in the season finale of Doctor Who that year, 'Mad World', Russell insisted that this was for the purposes of the story more than anything.
For a while, that seemed, to Dicks and Letts, that was it however in 2009, Barry Letts, passed away and his passing started discussing with both the BBC and CBS about making another series of Leftover in some form, especially with how 'Mad World' had turned out, however 'Mad World' had not aired yet so their was still some worry about the reaction to Leftover in it.
The day after 'Mad World' aired, Dicks met with Russell, Behr, the BBC Representatives and CBS's Representatives to discuss making a one-off serial and eventually it was decided that they'd produce one as a last send off to Leftover and for it to be dedicated to the memory of Barry Letts.

Pre-Production

In late 2009, former Doctor Who script editor, Russell T Davies, signed on to helm the project as writer.
At the same time, Rachel Talalay, the breakthrough director of 'Brave New Town', signed on as director.
As well as this, soon after, Julia Sawalha, Elisabeth Sladen, Katy Manning, Caroline John, Bonnie Langford and John Banks were signed on to reprise their respective roles.
Later, in early 2010, the rest of the cast were signed on including Jacqueline Pearce, Angela Bruce, J.K. Simmons, and David Suchet.

Production

Filming began in late March 2010 on location in Los Angeles.
