Shades Of Bad is a comedy web series that came out of lockdown. It was shot to show that a series can be shot with just one crew member at home on one set. Made by Buster Blackledge, and spending no money, it went for 60 original short eps that have been edited into a seven part TV half hour TV series. It was the origin of Doris.
It is dark and weird. The closest thing to it might be Schitt's Creek
- well done Buster. - well done Jean, Lynn, and others.
Jean topped the charts as Best Actress, and Jean and Lynn as best pair in the We Love Soaps charts run out of New York. Doris, her character, spun off a cruise travel series that now has millions of views, so we have dug out the old Shades of Bad series and put it is as seven very watchable TV episodes on a playlist on CRUISE DORIS VISITS - watch out for the unexpected and the strangest guest stars.

Orchestral composer Mark Blackledge wrote the music for this web TV series that his son Anton 'Buster' Blackledge directed.
The Doris Visits presenter Jean Heard starred as the character Doris. It was to give Buster directing experience and Mark and Stuart St Paul, who wrote much of it, funded it.
The end was to feature Francis and Rick from the rock band Status Quo as the two villains behind the nanobot-take-over-the-world daft plot. Sadly Rick became far more ill than he was in Fiji when we shot the movie BULA QUO for Universal Pictures. The last three episodes were never shot. However, we did do some funny cameo performances ...
Manuel Martinez appears as a fixer in Barcelona
Radio DJ James Whale turns up as a policeman
Nick Simons as the old jeweller, and nanobot buyer
The late and sadly missed child star, Ricky Beaumont played the old local councillor
Donna Flinn who had a number single as PussyFoot in Australia in the seventies plays Doris's mother-in-law
Derek Redmond comes in for a few episodes as the smuggler... or is he?
There are others, watch out.....
Oh... it was never meant to be anything other than mad, but that was where Doris came from.

The web series Shades of Bad has been re-edited or hacked into the half-hour TV length. If we had made it for that, written it for that and done the music with 30 minutes in mind, it would be on a major channel.
The old short version web series has been taken down in favour of this new version.
On this channel - you can also see cruise guides worldwide as Doris travelled the world in the spin-off series Doris Visits. It became a bigger monster as the travel show has over 500 episodes and millions of views. It has a website www.DorisVisits.com
