{PDF EPUB} Doctor Who Castrovalva by Christopher H. Bidmead ISBN 13: 9780426193265 Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who Castrovalva by Christopher H. Bidmead ISBN 13: 9780426193265. Christopher Hamilton Bidmead was born in 1941. He trained as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and subsequently played leading roles on the West End stage and television. For several years he was a regular voice on radio as a member of the BBC Drama Repertory Company. He began scriptwriting while working with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and by the early Seventies was writing television scripts for the Thames TV serials Harriet's Back in Town and Rooms. At the same time a long-standing interest in science drew him towards technical journalism. His articles in the New Scientist prompted BBC producer Robert Banks Stewart to recommend him for the post of script editor on Doctor Who when it was vacated by Douglas Adams at the beginning of the '80s. After a year in that role he signed off on the job by delivering two stories, Logopolis and Castrovalva, and returned to freelance projects - including a third Doctor Who story, Frontios, and novelisations of all three for the Target range of books. His stint on Doctor Who introduced him to the use of personal computers, and for the past quarter century he has continued to work as an IT journalist, writing for a range of publications including Wired magazine and The Daily Telegraph. Over the last decade he has been a regular columnist on PCPlus magazine. (Author biography by David J.

Only an act of supreme self-sacrifice will enable them to escape the maniacal lunacy of the renegade Time Lord. Peter Davison reads Christopher H.

Although rich in the series' mythology and fairly good at introducing the main characters and vehicle for the series, it is also notable for a far slower pace in the first three episodes than most other Doctor Who stories, and certainly doesn't seem to fit the action/adventure mold more popular during earlier years. FIRST IMPRESSIONS. "All Time-Lords regenerate, according to this data bank." Obviously the Doctor was sick - that much was clear. Five days later, a re-transmission showed me the few opening minutes I'd missed, and I saw the Doctor I recognized transform into the young blond one. Yes, this strange metamorphosis disease must have been crafted to give Tom some time off, either because he was ill himself or needed a holiday. When the four episodes were up, the Doctor would get better, and Tom Baker would come back. That must be what it was. I didn't feel like I was watching one of the better Doctor Who stories. The initial action with the security guards had little gusto, backed by a musical cue that stuck out badly and produced an unfair prejudice in me against Paddy Kingsland that took quite some time to wear off. The opening sequence earns a lot of positive points though, not least through being the fastest paced portion of the story outside of episode four. Adric successfully makes the point that the Doctor and (most of) his current companions are not of Earth. The essentials of the TARDIS, and more, are laid out more clearly here than in practically any other story, and this is where it will be most important to do so: at the beginning of both a new season and a new Doctor's era. The relationship between the interior and exterior of the ship is made clear by the direct cut of the three characters traversing between them, and further emphasized by the views on the scanner screen. Nyssa is even allowed to set a precedent for what some of the controls do, putting some of the confused twiddling of previous eras to shame. Nice. Even better, a pillar materialized out of nowhere to a very satisfying sound effect, bringing an evil figure in a dark control room to the scene. Intriguing. My limited knowledge of the show had me thinking/hoping it was the Black Guardian finally showing his face and coming after the Doctor, or at least an agent of the Black Guardian. However, Adric and Nyssa both have lines that very quickly establish this character and a smidgeon of his recent history with the Doctor. This was the Master, he also had a TARDIS, and he happily used its power against people. As much as one might criticize the visual effects today, the blue and green energy waves coming from the Master's TARDIS were a much welcome rare sight on television back then, and I loved it. And the excellent demonstration of what TARDISes can do continued with some dematerializations and an example of "hover mode". Even then though, the jittering of the film background behind the video effect of the Master's TARDIS hovering was something I wished had been better done. As I was getting my first impressions of the three companions for the series, I found myself empathizing with Adric more than the others. Tegan and Nyssa seemed to natter excessively in this, mostly at a loss to understand what was going on or what to do. On the other hand, Adric, in this first episode, bravely creates the diversion at risk to himself, commands the confrontations with the antagonists, operates the TARDIS console with confidence and skill, and demonstrates that he knows what he is doing and just gets on with it. And in the Doctor's later speech about the companions' roles, his voice becomes both distant and reverent when he speaks of Adric. Very nice touch. Like many bright young teenage boys at the time, it became easy to imagine oneself in Adric's place, traveling with the Doctor and sharing his adventures. Perhaps I was lucky in getting my first impression of Adric from season nineteen, where he is better served, than season eighteen.
