Two schoolteachers followed one of their students, a strange girl called Susan Foreman, back to the junkyard she called home. There, they found a police box that was bigger on the inside, and a cantankerous old vagabond who claimed to be Susan’s grandfather. He was a wanderer, an exile in the fourth dimension, a Lord of Time. He was the Doctor, and from that junkyard, they saw all of time and space. A thousand adventures, seen and unseen, followed on from that cold November night. Who knows what adventures you’ll discover, if you walk down the right street and see a strange blue box waiting there for you? HOW TO USE THIS BOOK The First Doctor Sourcebook is primarily a Gamemaster’s resource for running adventures either with or in the style of the First Doctor. While players will certainly benefit from the background information on the Doctor and his Companions, all of the rules needed to create or portray the First Doctor’s Companions are found in the Player’s Guide from the main Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space boxed set. This book is designed to be a primer on capturing the feel of the First Doctor’s era and incorporating it into your adventures. Chapter One describes the Doctor, his remarkable time-travelling machine, and the style of the adventures he had in his first incarnation. Chapters Two to Ten describe the First Doctor’s adventures. Each adventure has the following sections: • Synopsis: Where did the TARDIS materialise? Who did the Doctor meet? And what horrible fates awaited the travellers there? This section summarises the key events of the adventure as experienced by the First Doctor and his companions. • Running this Adventure: Next, we discuss howSample to run the adventure. file We get into the nuts and bolts of plotting and gamemastering, how to adapt the adventure to different Doctors or different groups of player characters, and how to use bits and pieces of the adventure in your own games. • Characters, Monsters & Gadgets: If there are important non- player characters, interesting monsters, or shiny new gadgets in the adventure, you’ll find them here. Sometimes, we’ll give you full statistics for a character. At other times, when their Attributes and Skills are obvious or irrelevant, we’ll just list their key Traits. • Further Adventures: So, what happens after the Doctor leaves? (Or what happened before he arrived?) These further adventure seeds give ideas on spin- offs, sequels and alternate histories that expand on the Doctor’s initial adventures. There are lots of ways to use these adventures. You can use our suggestions for Further Adventures, or build your own adventures using the material provided. In fact, if your players aren’t familiar with these classic stories, then you can substitute your player characters for the First Doctor and his companions and ‘rerun’ the adventures. Maybe your player characters will take other paths and make different decisions – can they stop the Dalek Invasion of Earth, or escape the Reign of Terror? Can they avoid sneezing humanity into slavery in The Ark? 5.

  • Getting a Second Opinion Before Surgery
    Revised September 2020 Getting a Second Opinion Before Surgery A second opinion is when another doctor (in addition to your regular doctor) gives their view about your health problem and how it should be treated. Getting a second opinion can help you make a more informed decision about your care. Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) helps pay for a second opinion before surgery. When your doctor says you have a health problem that needs surgery, you have the right to: • Know and understand your treatment choices • Have another doctor look at those choices with you (second opinion) • Participate in treatment decisions by making your wishes known When should I get a second opinion? If your doctor says you need surgery to diagnose or treat a health problem that isn’t an emergency, consider getting a second opinion. It’s up to you to decide when and if you’ll have surgery. Medicare doesn’t pay for surgeries or procedures that aren’t medically necessary, like cosmetic surgery. This means that Medicare also won’t pay for second opinions for surgeries or procedures that aren’t medically necessary. Don’t wait for a second opinion if you need emergency surgery. Some types of emergencies may require surgery right away, like: • Acute appendicitis • Blood clots or aneurysms • Accidental injuries How do I find a doctor for a second opinion? Make sure the doctor giving the second opinion accepts Medicare. To find a doctor for a second opinion: • Visit Medicare.gov to find doctors who accept Medicare. • Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Every now and then, I read comments from Whovians about how the programme is called: "Doctor Who" - and how you shouldn't write the title as: "Dr. Who".

  • 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.

  • Rich's Notes: 1 Chapter 1 the Ten Doctors: a Graphic Novel by Rich
    The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 1 1 Rich's Notes: The 10th (and current) Doctor goes to The Eye of Orion (the Five Doctors) to reflect after the events of The Runaway Bride. He meets up with his previous incarnation, the 9th Doctor and Rose, here exploring the Eye of Orion sometime between the events of Father’s Day and The Empty Child. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 1 2 Rich's Notes: The 9th and 10th Doctors and Rose stumble upon the 7th Doctor and Ace, who we join at some point between Dimensions in Time and The Enemy Within(aka. The Fox Movie) You’ll notice the style of the drawings changing a bit from page to page as I struggle to settle on a realism vs. cartoony feel for this comic. Hopefully it’ll settle soon. And hopefully none of you will give a rat’s bottom. The Ten Doctors: A Graphic Novel by Rich Morris Chapter 1 3 Rich's Notes: The 10th Doctor, in order to keep the peace, attempts to explain the situation to Ace and Rose. Ace, however, has an advantage. She's seen some of the Doctor's previous incarnations in a strange time trap set up by the Rani (The 30th Anniversary special: Dimensions in Time, which blew chunks). The 2nd Doctor arrives, seemingly already understanding the situation, accompanied by Jamie and Zoe. (The 2nd Doctor arrives from some curious timeline not fully explained by the TV series. Presumably his onscreen regeneration was a farce and he was employed by the Time Lords for a time to run missions for them before they finally changed him into the 3rd Doctor.

  • John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and More
    John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and more The eldest of three children, actor and musician John Ronald Simm was born on 10 July 1970 in Leeds, West Yorkshire and grew up in Nelson, Lancashire. He attended Edge End High School, Nelson followed by Blackpool Drama College at 16 and The Drama Centre, London at 19. He lives in North London with his wife, actress Kate Magowan and their children Ryan, born on 13 August 2001 and Molly, born on 9 February 2007. Simm won the Best Actor award at the Valencia Film Festival for his film debut in Boston Kickout (1995) and has been twice BAFTA nominated (to date) for Life On Mars (2006) and Exile (2011). He supports Man U, is "a Beatles nut" and owns seven guitars. John Simm quotes I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though. Maybe my wife would disagree. I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place ... in the country that I could live. You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it. Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people.
