Complex and compelling, a great read from a master Who writerBy Adric NetIt is often said that once you look past the costume the Sixth incarnation of Doctor Who was one of the most dramatic and gritty portrayals with some of the most hard-hitting stories.Players certainly supports that notion. The Doctor and his companions are under threat in various forms throughout the story, including from cannon and blade in person. Oh and the different parts of the story are in war zones and capture some of the awfulness of the wars and their effect on the people embroiled in them.The story would suffice to interest me on the author's reputation as I have enjoyed his previous work tremendously. The inclusion of Churchill made we jump to read this and I was quite content with his inclusion and portrayal.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. If Only the 6th Doctor Had This Caliber of Story During His Television EraBy Kelly Ann ParmeleeA highly enjoyable, engrossing "Doctor Who" novel featuring my personal favorite Doctor and his faithful companion.I am a big fan of Colin Baker's 6th Doctor. No matter how average to mediocre the stories on television were, Colin's talents always shined through and Nicola Bryant did her best with Peri, a companion who unfortunately was largely left neglected by JNT and the writers until her last two stories (and the many novels and Big Finish audios featuring Peri as a three-dimensional character have helped to reassess her value in the eyes of many fans). This particular story does both characters a tremendous service by fleshing out their individual personalities, strengths, weaknesses and their complex but close, true friendship. Terrance Dicks never wrote any of their television stories but his characterizations make me wish he had done so.It's also a wonderfully-written historical story based in facts. Dicks's admiration for Winston Churchill is apparent and the way he writes ol' Winnie, you can hear him saying the dialogue in your mind as you read. I myself have been very interested in Winston Churchill and his role in history but even this book taught me new things about his involvement in the Boer War at the turn-of-the-century, in The Great War and what position he was in during King Edward VIII's scandalous relationship with Wallis Simpson. There's also appearances by other historical figures such as Baron von Ribbentrop and a few other surprises.This story is filled with plenty of continuity to thrill your Classic Whovian heart(s), including a character featured in Dicks's New Adventures novel "Blood Harvest" and references to that particular story, Doctor and companion. There's also a very good 2nd Doctor story that takes place in "season 6B", as it is now called by the fans, involving two old friends from "The War Games" (not whom you think) and Churchill. But if you're a new fan, don't let the Classic Who references scare or deter you from reading. You don't *need* to have this prior knowledge and can always check out these stories for yourself afterward.I've read reviews criticizing the ending in particular but I thought it was fine and fitting. A nice foreshadowing of the kind of Doctor you the reader know he will become in his future incarnation.This book is an absolute must-read if you are a fan of the 6th Doctor and Peri. And even if you aren't a fan, try this novel and maybe your mind will be changed. And if you're interested in Winston Churchill and British history, it's icing on the cake.Bravo, Terrance Dicks.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A book to step intoBy Gwynnion KildareI've commented in the past about Terrance Dicks' inimitable ability to capture the Doctor's voice, along with those of his companions.His previous book, The Eight Doctors, was a shining example of this ability. While reading it I could hear, see, and generally sense the presence of the Doctor and his companions as surely as if they were standing next to me. It was uncanny. However, The Eight Doctors was a flawed book. It didn't read like a novel, but more like a screenplay. It felt like the author wasn't comfortable with his medium, as if he was more interested in the image he was trying to convey than in how he was going to convey it. The Doctor was there. He was definitely there. But I didn't feel like *I* was. Not entirely, at any rate.For these reasons I was worried when I went ahead and bought a copy of Players... but I am glad to say that I was proven wrong in my concerns.This book is everything I wish The Eight Doctors would have been. It could not have been better without actually adding more Doctors.The story flows beautifully; the Doctor (2nd AND 6th) and Perry, as well as Lt. Carstairs and Lady Daphne of War Games, are demonstrably "there"; even secondary characters, like King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson or von Ribbentrop, or even the Pinkerton detective the Doctor hires as a bodyguard for Perry, all read vivid and alive; the villains are intriguing and have left me with a desire to learn more about them (I understand there's another book that deals with them, starring the 8th Doctor. I'll definitely be buying that in the near future); and finally, knowing that since Dicks wrote the War Games (and the BBC usually leaves control of characters to the people who created them) we can more or less say that what happened to the lovely couple from War Games in this book is canon was just a cherry on top of it all.Basically, it was a joy to read and I am happy to say I read it in one day.In fact, that's my only regret about this book - that it ended so quickly. Well, that, and Terrance Dicks' endless obsession with putting the 6th Doctor in a decent outfit, but that's nothing much to complain about, is it. ;)If every Doctor Who novel was like this one, I would run out of shelf space, and if you don't own this one, then you had better buy it. A sixth Doctor adventure, featuring the Doctor as played by Colin Baker and his companion Peri. Arriving on the sun- baked veldt in the middle of the Boer War, the Doctor is soon involved in the adventures of struggling politician and war correspondent Winston Churchill. Of course, he knows Churchill is destined for great things, but unseen forces seem to be interfering with Winston's historic career. The Doctor suspects the hidden hand of the Players, mysterious beings who regard human history as little more than a game. With time running out, can the Doctor find the right moves to defeat them? About the AuthorTerrance Dicks worked on scripts for The Avengers as well as other series before becoming Assistant and later full Script Editor of Doctor Who from 1968. Dicks worked on the entirety of the Jon Pertwee Third Doctor era of the programme, and then turned to writing for the show, scripting Tom Baker's first story as the Fourth Doctor. Terrance has written many original Doctor Who novels for BBC Books.

  • Sociopathetic Abscess Or Yawning Chasm? the Absent Postcolonial Transition In
    Sociopathetic abscess or yawning chasm? The absent postcolonial transition in Doctor Who Lindy A Orthia The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract This paper explores discourses of colonialism, cosmopolitanism and postcolonialism in the long-running television series, Doctor Who. Doctor Who has frequently explored past colonial scenarios and has depicted cosmopolitan futures as multiracial and queer- positive, constructing a teleological model of human history. Yet postcolonial transition stages between the overthrow of colonialism and the instatement of cosmopolitan polities have received little attention within the program. This apparent ‘yawning chasm’ — this inability to acknowledge the material realities of an inequitable postcolonial world shaped by exploitative trade practices, diasporic trauma and racist discrimination — is whitewashed by the representation of past, present and future humanity as unchangingly diverse; literally fixed in happy demographic variety. Harmonious cosmopolitanism is thus presented as a non-negotiable fact of human inevitability, casting instances of racist oppression as unnatural blips. Under this construction, the postcolonial transition needs no explication, because to throw off colonialism’s chains is merely to revert to a more natural state of humanness, that is, cosmopolitanism. Only a few Doctor Who stories break with this model to deal with the ‘sociopathetic abscess’ that is real life postcolonial modernity. Key Words Doctor Who, cosmopolitanism, colonialism, postcolonialism, race, teleology, science fiction This is the submitted version of a paper that has been published with minor changes in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, 45(2): 207-225. 1 1. Introduction Zargo: In any society there is bound to be a division. The rulers and the ruled.

    A Novel Elysium by Evan Crichton Anderson A PROJECT submitted to Oregon State University University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in English (Honors Associate) Presented May 27, 2014 Commencement June 2014 1 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Evan Crichton Anderson for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Arts in English presented on May 27, 2014 . Title: A Novel Elysium . Abstract approved: ______________________________________________ Steven Kunert As a metafictional work of science fiction literature, A Novel Elysium explores the timelessness of both the human mind and its literary surroundings, comparing the self-awareness of its characters to the sometimes tragic or empowering metaphysical realizations of human beings. Within this framework, any concrete place or time is unimportant; temporal and physical locations are created by the relations of the characters to their world and also by the relations of the readers to this text. The subjects are art, intention, pleasure, perception, and existence, and each character comes to know these or become undone by them at the conclusion of A Novel Elysium , just as the reader comes to realize they are being directly addressed, rather than shown an unrelated fictional tale. Drawing on the full imaginative and mnemonic powers of its characters, the work abounds with references both to other literary classics and to itself, creating a semi-circular dialectic about the perceived relationships between past, present, future,

  • Doctor Who and the Destiny of the Daleks
    DOCTOR WHO AND THE DESTINY OF THE DALEKS By TERRANCE DICKS Based on the BBC television serial by Terry Nation by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation 1 The Dead City Through the vortex, that mysterious region where time and space are one, sped a police box that was not a police box at all. It was, in fact, a highly sophisticated space/time ship called the TARDIS, a name taken from its initials, Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Inside its impossibly large control room (for the TARDIS was dimensionally transcendental) was a many- sided central console. Beside it a very tall man with a shock of curly hair was making minute adjustments to the larynx of a robot dog. The robot dog was called K9, and the man trying to repair it was that mysterious traveller in time and space known as the Doctor. He wore loose, comfortable clothing, topped off with a broad-brimmed floppy soft hat, and an incredibly long multi-coloured scarf. He was muttering crossly as he worked. 'How can a robot possibly get laryngitis? What do you need it for?' Naturally enough poor K9 didn't reply. Without looking up the Doctor yelled, 'Romana!' A girl came into the room, carrying, with some difficulty, a full-length mirror on a stand. 'Yes, Doctor?' The Doctor looked up and blinked in astonishment. The girl who had answered his call wasn't the girl he expected. Or at least she didn't look like the girl he expected. 'Sorry, I thought you were Romana. Have you seen her? And anyway, what are you doing here?' 'Regenerating.
