In the 26 th century the Earth Empire is in a death struggle with voracious Dalek forces yet still riven Doctor Who: Nemesis of the Daleks home-grown threats. Doctor Who fans in the s and s were a pretty devoted lot. It's a magnificent illustration of why I despise multi-part storytelling with a passion. Davros has activated the long-dormant Doctor Who: Nemesis of the Daleks army hidden there, converting them to the white and gold colour scheme applied to the Daleks he created on the planet Necros in Revelation of the Daleks. He plays second fiddle during most of the Doctor Who: Nemesis of the Daleks. Goodreads is the world's largest site for readers with over 50 million reviews. Emperor of the Daleks Assimilation 2.

Doctor Who Magazine — The longer pieces were better, especially 'Train Flight' and 'Nemesis'. It was interesting to see some elements similar to later TV plots - for instance the idea of a planetary library this time infested with bugs rather than the more scary Vashta Neradaa graveyard of the Tardises and a Time Lord killer - and in 'Who's That Girl' there appears to be a female Doctor.

    THE AUGUSTANA HERITAGE NEWSLETTER V O L U M E 4 S P R I N G 2 0 0 5 N U M B E R 2 A Letter from Paul Cornell President of the Augustana Heritage Association On Pearl Harbor Day, 2004 Many of our membership remember where we were and what we were doing on that day. Me? Playing ice hockey on Lake Nakomis in Minneapolis, Minnesota on a Sunday afternoon. I can better remember this year’s Gathering IV of the Augustana Heritage Association at Gustavus Adolphus. From the Jussi Bjoerling lecture Thursday through the luncheon on Sunday afternoon. It filled us with joy and thanksgiv- ing. Paul Cornell I realize more and more, and am thankful for, the legacy of Augustana that continues to guide and inspire me in the 7th decade of my life. The renewing of friendships, the words and music of “Songs from Two Homelands,” the presentations of pro- gram teachers, and the ambience (including the weather) of GA made for a great four days. Also to the GA committee for their pre- planning, their on-site operations, and all the behind-the-scenes – a very huge “tack så mycket”. I ask for your prayers and support as the second president of the AHA, stepping into the shoes of Reuben Swanson, is a momen- tous task. We are grateful for his four years of leadership. I am so pleased that he is continuing as a member of the AHA Board. Thank you, Reuben!

  • The Doctor's Personality
    APPENDIX 1: THE DOCTOR’S PERSONALITY Note This preprint is being made available because the first printing of the book this appendix appeared in contained an error in the figures that made them uninterpretable. The following can be interpreted without referring to the book, but for full context it could help to read Chapter 1 in: Rodebaugh, T. L. (2019). The Black Archive #27: The Face of Evil. Obverse Books: Edinburgh, UK. Typical APA-style references are not given, but the original text plus an online search should suffice for the interested reader. Finally, if the reader does not have a passing acquaintance with the television show Doctor Who, none of this will make any sense at all. A Demonstration of the Big Five Personality Traits In Chapter 1 I proposed that we can use the Five Factor Model of personality to understand the Doctor’s personality and analyse to what extent the Doctor is more accurately described as the same person played by different actors, as opposed to a set of entirely different people with different personalities. I therefore collected some data to test the ‘same person’ hypothesis versus the ‘different people’ hypothesis. I should be clear that I did not approach this question entirely as I would if I were conducting scientific research, although I did use some scientific methods. Of the many things I would do differently if I were conducting scientific research, two are worth a special mention. First, I would have pre-registered my hypotheses in some format (most likely on the online Open Science Framework) prior to collecting data or testing my hypotheses.

DOCTOR WHO AND THE CREATION OF A NON-GENDERED HERO ARCHETYPE Alessandra J. Pelusi 85 Pages December 2014 This thesis investigates the ways in which the television program Doctor Who forges a new, non-gendered, hero archetype from the amalgamation of its main characters. In order to demonstrate how this is achieved, I begin with reviewing some of the significant and relevant characters that contribute to this. I then examine the ways in which female and male characters are represented in Doctor Who, including who they are, their relationship with the Doctor, and what major narrative roles they play. I follow this with a discussion of the significance of the companion, including their status as equal to the Doctor. From there, I explore the ways in which the program utilizes existing archetypes by subverting them and disrupting the status quo.

In 2006 the BBC launched two spin-off series, Torchwood (aimed at an exclusively adult audience) and The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures (for 11–15-year-olds), and what was once regarded as an embarrass- ment to the Corporation now spans the media landscape as a multi-format colossus.
