List of Doctor Who novelisations - Wikipedia Carnival of Monsters is the second serial of the tenth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Whowhich was first broadcast in four weekly parts on BBC1 from 27 January to 17 February In the serial, set on the planet Inter Minor, the alien time traveller the Third Doctor Jon Pertwee and his travelling companion Jo Grant Katy Manning are trapped inside a miniscope, a device used by the showman Vorg Leslie Dwyer to shrink life forms and Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters: A 3rd Doctor Novelisation them on display for entertainment. Being repeatedly arrested as stow-aways, the Third Doctor and Jo find out that ship's Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters: A 3rd Doctor Novelisation keep repeating their actions, having no recollection of earlier encounters. The pair escape from the ship through a strange hatch plainly visible to them both but ignored by the crew and passengers. The Doctor and Jo venture through the circuitry of some sort of giant machine and arrive at marsh lands. They soon discover that they are not outside but are still inside the machine. Chased by Drashigs, huge swamp-dwelling carnivores, they escape back into the circuitry. Here, the Doctor realises that they have materialised inside the compression field of a Miniscope, a machine that keeps miniaturised groups of creatures in miniaturised versions of their natural environments. The Time Lords have banned such machines, but apparently one escaped. The Drashigs break into the circuitry and the Doctor and Jo flee back to the ship. They are separated in the confusion as the crew defend against the Drashigs. The events inside the miniscope are intercut with events involving its owners, travelling showman Vorg and his assistant Shirna, who have just arrived at the planet of Inter Minor but are suspected of being spies and refused entrance by a tribunal. The tribunal learns that objects removed from the machine soon return to their normal size when Vorg extracts a foreign object stuck in the circuitry — actually the TARDIS — from the machine. Two of the tribunal members, dissatisfied with the leadership of their planet, plot to let the Drashigs escape from the machine and allow them to wreak havoc, causing a crisis and the president's resignation. The Doctor eventually finds a way to the real outside and is restored to normal size. After he goes back into the Scope, which is now overheating due to the Drashigs' damage, the device he attached is shot by a tribunal member and ceases to function, leaving the Doctor stranded. He finds Jo, but they collapse on the floor as the heat gets to be too much for them. Two Drashigs escape, but Vorg kills them by fixing the eradicator, sabotaged by the mutinous tribunal members. He fixes the Doctor's device, pushing the Phase Two switch which brings the Doctor and Jo back, just in time, and also returning all of the Scope's other occupants to their rightful space-time positions. As the penniless Vorg tries to get enough credit bars to return home by using the old three- magum-pods-and-a-yarrow-seed trickthe two travellers depart in the TARDIS. The aliens on display in Vorg's miniscope include: Drashigs, Ogrons and Cybermen. Working titles for this story included Peepshow. This story was recorded as part of the production block for the previous season but deliberately held over for Season Ten. This was to enable Barry Letts to direct the production, since his role as producer would have made it difficult to do so at the start of a production block as he had found out with Terror of the Autons. The titles for Carnival of Monsters were prepared, like Frontier in Spacewith a new arrangement of the theme music performed by Paddy Kingsland on a synthesizer. Known as the "Delaware" arrangement the BBC Radiophonic Workshop was based on Delaware Roadit proved unpopular with BBC executives, so the original Delia Derbyshire theme was restored, and only appears on Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters: A 3rd Doctor Novelisation uncorrected version of episode two that was shipped to Australia in error. This edit, which also featured a few extra scenes, was used in the VHS release. The opening and closing title sequence versions of the theme have been included as an extra on the DVD release of the story. The original 2m 30sec theatrical release of this music was wiped many years ago. The ship used was the RFA Robert Dundas which had been decommissioned and was scrapped immediately after filming. As the ship was actually in transit on its final voyage down the River Medway in Kent all external shots had to be filmed at a low angle or the banks of the estuary would have been visible. He had previously auditioned for the role of Captain Mike Yates. Michael Wisher had already appeared twice in Third Doctor stories and provided Dalek voices in others, and would later be the first actor to portray Davros. According to the DVD commentary for the 'Special Edition' of the story, they were on the final shortlist of six actresses seen for the role. Producer Barry Letts promised both actresses he'd use them in the future after offering the part of Grant to Katy Manning. The ratings for the repeats were 4. InMark Braxton of Radio Times wrote that "the premise Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters: A 3rd Doctor Novelisation ingenious" and Doctor Who and the Carnival of Monsters: A 3rd Doctor Novelisation with rich, imagination-kindling fare". He praised the guest cast, though he felt the Drashigs were a mixed bag. She felt that the Drashigs still worked because they were "such hideous- looking creatures". Blumburg named the serial one of the worst of the Pertwee tenure, stating that it had "the most appalling character, set, and costume design in the era's history" and that some of the guest actors were wasted. A novelisation of this serial, written by Terrance Dickswas published by Target Books in January Carnival of Monsters was released on VHS in Episode 2 was an early edit with extra scenes and the "Delaware" arrangement of the theme tune. Episode 4 accidentally used the edit. This story was released on DVD in the United Kingdom on 15 Juneusing the originally transmitted versions of episodes 2 and 4.

In what we knew about the early years of the series was often inaccurate and was fact it was only surpassed by my involvement with the production team on set to be re-examined and corrected over the subsequent decade but we knew the UK Gold anniversary shows; they contacted me through my website, many of the basic facts. the Doctor Who Cuttings Archive, and asked me to help in sourcing clips and providing suitable newspaper and Radio Times cuttings for the excellent linking There were a very few video releases available and the majority of fans had never documentaries shown over the weekend. However, there’s something about the seen anything but these so had little knowledge, apart from what they’d read Tenth Anniversary Special that’s, well, special! in DWM and fanzines, about the vast majority of old stories. Much of what we knew about the then current series was filtered through the programme’s My enthusiasm for the facsimile was so great that a few months later I contacted Producer and DWM or came from DWB, the fanzine equivalent of The Sun Ralph Montagu, the man responsible for the new edition, with an eye to writing newspaper – sensational, vitriolic and only interested in ‘facts’ that backed up a piece for the Cuttings Archive on the recreation of the magazine.

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". Also, how the central character is called: "The Doctor", and should not be referred to as: "Doctor Who" (or "Dr. Who" for that matter) But of course, the Truth never quite that simple As the Evidence below will show... * * * * * * * http://aetw.org/omega.html THE PROGRAMME Yes, the programme is titled: "Doctor Who", but from the very beginning – in fact from before the beginning, the title has also been written as: “DR WHO”.

  • Delia Derbyshire Sound and Music for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, 1962-1973
    Delia Derbyshire Sound and Music For The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, 1962-1973 Teresa Winter PhD University of York Music June 2015 2 Abstract This thesis explores the electronic music and sound created by Delia Derbyshire in the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop between 1962 and 1973. After her resignation from the BBC in the early 1970s, the scope and breadth of her musical work there became obscured, and so this research is primarily presented as an open-ended enquiry into that work. During the course of my enquiries, I found a much wider variety of music than the popular perception of Derbyshire suggests: it ranged from theme tunes to children’s television programmes to concrete poetry to intricate experimental soundscapes of synthesis. While her most famous work, the theme to the science fiction television programme Doctor Who (1963) has been discussed many times, because of the popularity of the show, most of the pieces here have not previously received detailed attention. Some are not widely available at all and so are practically unknown and unexplored. Despite being the first institutional electronic music studio in Britain, the Workshop’s role in broadcasting, rather than autonomous music, has resulted in it being overlooked in historical accounts of electronic music, and very little research has been undertaken to discover more about the contents of its extensive archived back catalogue. Conversely, largely because of her role in the creation of its most recognised work, the previously mentioned Doctor Who theme tune, Derbyshire is often positioned as a pioneer in the medium for bringing electronic music to a large audience.
