The big reveal half way through the story is It's the krotons! Bet you didn't see that coming. May 27, fieldsofliterature rated it really liked it. I was a little worried going into their audios loving Eight so much but this is a nice side arc that I think is going to give a lot of character growth to Charley. The enemy in this story was pretty predictable, but other than that it was enjoyable. Oct 08, Danny Welch rated it really liked it. A underrated small tale that I found to be really enjoyable and a nice return for a rather controversial villain. Colin and India are of DR WHO RETURN OF THE KROTONS once again brilliant! Dec 19, Keiran Thegreat rated it really liked it. The crystalline Krotons are a monster I DR WHO RETURN OF THE KROTONS always wanted to see make a DR WHO RETURN OF THE KROTONS. Although not the most powerful or deadly alien of all time I think the unusual and complex nature of the Krotons is very appealing. DR WHO RETURN OF THE KROTONS story features two of the strongest audio cast amongst the Big Finish regulars 6th Doctor, Colin Baker and Charley Pollard, India Fisher a solid script and decent plot complete an entertaining story. This story proves that with the right approach any classic monster is capable of The crystalline Krotons are a monster I have always wanted to see make a return. This story proves that with the right approach any classic monster is capable of a triumphant return. Dec 23, Nicholas Whyte added it. The Krotons are, everyone will agree, not the greatest of Old Who monsters, but Return of the Krotons actually does a decent job of reconstructing them, fitting DR WHO RETURN OF THE KROTONS also into the chronology of The Ark in Space and perhaps also The Ark. I liked the sense of the small group of people trapped by their own culture and by the growing alien menace which they won't comprehend. Nicholas Briggs does a great Kroton voice and also puts a bit more substance into the concept of the creatures. I enjoyed it. Jan 20, Mel rated it really liked it Shelves: audio-book. Having loved Sixie and Evelyn so much and Charley and the Eighth Doctor I really wasn't expecting to like the two of them together. But this was lots of fun. It was nice to have a very futuristic adventure for these two. They played off each other beautifully. While the Krotons were probably not really a villain that needed to come back they were fine and it was nice to see all the ark in space references. Feb 07, Audrey M rated it really liked it Shelves: audio. I really enjoyed this one. More interaction between Charley and the Doctor, which is always welcome, and DR WHO RETURN OF THE KROTONS getting closer and closer to the big reveal as she gets closer and closer to this version of the Doctor. There DR WHO RETURN OF THE KROTONS a moment that wrenched my heart in a very good way, but I don't want to give and spoiler. Now I know I'll be heartbroken when Charley finally has to leave the Doctor for good. Nov 02, Kate Sherrod rated it really liked it. The Krotons are one of the Whoniverse's more interesting species, which is always a plus. Good incidental characters, another plus. How Sixie defeats the Krotons, though -- that is just the best!!

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”.

    DOCTOR WHO THE SPACE PIRATES By TERRANCE DICKS Based on the BBC television series by Robert Holmes by arrangement with BBC Books, a division of BBC Enterprises Ltd Number 147 in the Doctor Who Library A TARGET BOOK published by the Paperback Division of W. H. ALLEN & CO. PLC Spacejack Beacon Alpha One hung silently in the blackness of space, its complex shape recalling the technology of distant Earth. On that far-away planet the beacon's different segments had been carefully constructed to withstand the rigours of long years in deep space. They had been ferried to this isolated spot on the edge of the galaxy by space freighter, and painstakingly assembled by skilled engineers. Held together by magnetic force and packed with complex computerized instruments, the beacon was one of a chain of lonely sentinels in space that fulfilled vital navigational functions. Men had expended thousands of hours and millions of galactic credits to put Beacon Alpha One into position. Now other men were coming to destroy it. The sleek, black, dart-shaped ship slid smoothly up to the beacon like a killer shark approaching the belly of a basking whale. It locked smoothly on to the beacon's airlock with a precision that spoke of skilled piloting. A hatch slid open inside the beacon. Three space-suited figures came through, each carrying a small black box. Their leader, a tall, thin, worried-looking man called Dervish, crossed to a hatch on the other side of the airlock and swung its locking-wheel. The three men filed through into the interior of the beacon.

  • 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.

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.
