Doctor Who: Web in Space Free FREE DOCTOR WHO: WEB IN SPACE PDF Dave Bailey | 160 pages | 16 Aug 2016 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9781405922586 | English | London, United Kingdom Doctor Who: Return to the Web Planet - Doctor Who - The Fifth Doctor Adventures - Big Finish Original Airdate: 13 Feb, DOCTOR: I wouldn't had thought it possible, but somehow we've materialised, for a split second of time, and been imprisoned in some kind of force. I simply can't break its hold. Somewhere, somehow, we're being slowly dragged down. IAN: Dragged down? To what? Episode One - The Web Planet. Doctor Who: Web in Space Tardis materialises in a bleak landscape. Everyone is out of Roman garb and back to normal. The scanner is displaying the area outside. Air thin and static. Oh, it's like a cemetery, it's so quiet. IAN: Yeah, no vegetation, and I haven't seen anything move yet. We're on the moon. What force, Doctor Who: Web in Space Where are we? IAN: Doctor, can't there just Doctor Who: Web in Space something wrong with Doctor Who: Web in Space Tardis? My boy, we've been dragged off our course. The question is, is it some natural phenomena or is it intelligent, deliberate, or for a purpose, hmm? You always do. Nowm let me see. Vicki winces. Giant ant-like creatures communicate in high-piched beeps to each other. Good, The power response is satisfactory. IAN: What can you hear, Vicki? Ooo, can't you hear it? IAN: Do you hear anything, Doctor? You know, the thing that young people and young animals hear. Excuse me, you're in the way. Barbara, Doctor Who: Web in Space stopped. Yes, thanks. Doctor, we must get out of here. I quite agree. The power build up is strong enough. Yes, quite satisfactory. Well now the motors. Wait a minute. A massive woodlouse thing joins the mega-ants. The Tardis tries to dematerialise, but fails. The mega-ant noise can be clearly heard, and the Tardis wobbles. Trapped somehow. Is it some strange phenomena? There's no power in the ship. It's useless. I saw a flash behind one of those crags. IAN: Where? I saw it. IAN: Well, it's not there now. It's all gone now. Come on, I think you'd better lie down for a while. IAN: Well, Doctor? Well, there's nothing for it, my boy, but we shall, er, it's a matter of exploration. We shall have to go and find the trouble of this interference and then learn how to counteract it. IAN: Oh No need for the other two to come. I'll go and tell them. IAN: Oh, how is she? Oh, Doctor? Do you have such a thing as a sedative? It's in the first aid box. You know where it is. There, it's facing you. Honestly, one of these days I'm going to have a jolly good spring clean around here. IAN: She's asleep already. Oh, er, Barbara, the Doctor and I are going outside to have a look around. Now don't worry. I won't let him Doctor Who: Web in Space of my sight. IAN: Yes, we're ready. Now then, I want you to wear this ADJ. IAN: This what? Oh, I see. Is the atmosphere a bit thin? IAN: Hello, what's this extraordinary thing? IAN: Oh, I see. A sort of advanced oxygen mask, eh? IAN: Well, come on then, Doctor. How do we open the doors? We have no power. It's one thing after another. IAN: Smiling. I didn't want to, er. IAN: Hey? The Doctor takes his signet ring off. Come along, come along. The Doctor flicks some switches and waves the ring in front of an electric eye. The main doors Doctor Who: Web in Space and he scuttles out, chuckling. Ian follows and the doors close again. Here, take these. You'll feel much better. My ears still sting a bit, but that's all. And I mean, it boils down to the same thing. You can't blame my generation for everything and those pills belong to the Doctor. Didn't you teach it? We worked upwards from the three R's. I wish I'd gone to your school. We had to take a certificate of education in medicine, physics, chemistry. What did you do in your time, live in the classroom? Lecture hall. Now look, you don't there's anything wrong with those pills, do you? BARBARA: After all, it would save me having to put make-up on and a mask and dance round a fire in order to get rid of the evil spirits. The Web Planet (TV story) | Tardis | Fandom The Web Planet was the fifth serial of season 2 of Doctor Who. As with the Voord before them, the creatures of Vortis were designed to be memorable, as the show was yet to produce a monster to rival the Daleks. Web also had the highest average viewing figure for the Hartnell era with a rating of The concept first came to Bill Strutton as he recalled being bitten by a bull-ant as a child and seeing insects fight. He also recognised the merchandising opportunities Doctor Who Doctor Who: Web in Space, with Terry Nation 's Daleks being his point of Doctor Who: Web in Space. Script editor Dennis Spooner latched onto the idea, believing it could be a parable about socialism, with the Zarbi and the Menoptera as the oppressed and the oppressors respectively. Web was by far the most technically ambitious and experimental story produced by Verity Lambert. While some believe it nobly tried to extend the possibilities of Doctor Whoothers felt it was simply over-ambitious. It was also novel in terms of its advertising, since it was the first Doctor Who story to ever have a trailer. Doctor Who Yearbook Director Richard Martin was irked by this, as he felt it gave away too much of the plot as clips from later episodes were shown. Verity Lambert believed he was upset over the inclusion of a scene showing a Zarbi entering the television studio, justified by her as the application of a Doctor Who: Web in Space setting, designed to stop children from fearing the alien. About Time 1. On the planet Vortisthe DoctorIanBarbara and Vicki are swept up in the struggles of the butterfly -like Menopterathe original denizens of Vortis who were forced to flee the planet for the moon Pictos to escape the encroaching web of the Animus and Doctor Who: Web in Space mind-controlled minions, the ant - like Zarbiand their living weapons, the larvae guns. The Doctor discovers, once the ship has landed, that it has had all its power taken away from it as well, with only the scanner left working. The Doctor begins to work his magic at the console, but he can't Doctor Who: Web in Space the motors work even though the energy is available. The Doctor suspects that she can hear it due to her relatively young age. The source of the noise is an ant-like creature emitting loud beeping noises as a means of communication. Doctor Who: Web in Space to the travellers, two of these creatures, accompanied by a smaller speciesattack the TARDIS, causing it Doctor Who: Web in Space rock wildly — much to its inhabitants' surprise. Barbara takes Vicki, who is most perturbed by the noise and the battering of the TARDIS, to bed whilst the Doctor Who: Web in Space, resigning himself to not being able to sort his ship out, asks Ian to come and explore the planet. Ian and the Doctor don Doctor Who: Web in Space density jacketsinform Barbara of their plan, and set off, using the Doctor's ring and a device in the TARDIS to open the door without power. Left to their own devices, Barbara and Vicki have a conversation about Vicki's futuristic schooling. Vicki later discovers that Barbara and Ian have also been to Rome in their previous adventure after seeing the armlet given to Barbara from Nero. Out on the planet, Ian and the Doctor discover some very strange goings-on. Ian takes his gold pen out of his suit jacket, only for it to literally disappear out of his hand. The echoes of their voices seem to take on lives of their own and linger for much longer than normal echoes. Ian confides in the Doctor that he feels he is being watched. The Doctor disagrees at first but later states the only way to prove that theory is to go exploring. Meanwhile, back in the TARDIS, Barbara is tidying up when she seems to lose all the strength in her arm, which appears to be dragging her out Doctor Who: Web in Space the door. Just as she reaches the door she regains control. Scared, she goes to sit with Vicki, where the sensation happens again. Vicki, thinking she is joking, laughs, and Barbara leaves her. Outside, Ian and the Doctor discover a large stone pyramid that is obviously not natural and has been built by some sort of creature. The two marvel at this. They discover a pool of what Ian thinks is water, in which he is about to wash his hands, when the Doctor, borrowing Ian's Coal Hill School tiediscovers it's acid. As the Doctor inspects it, the ant creature scuttles away, beeping. The Doctor and Ian head back. Whilst Barbara is alone, she again loses control over her arm and is dragged out Doctor Who: Web in Space the door after using the console to open the door.

  • Doctor Who: the Space Museum
    DOCTOR WHO THE SPACE MUSEUM GLYN JONES Based on the BBC television series by Glyn Jones by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation Number 117 in the Doctor Who Library A TARGET BOOK published by the Paperback Division of W. H. ALLEN & CO. PLC 1 AD 0000 Three pairs of eyes gazed at the scanner screen, eyes like those of a sad and lonely person in a strange town desperately seeking the smile of a friendly face. The fourth pair of eyes gave no hint of emotion. The Doctor was totally absorbed, totally fascinated. Vicki sighed, a sigh so audible that Ian could not resist a sidelong glance at his young companion. He turned back to the screen and, knowing exactly how she felt, almost mechanically placed a comforting arm across her shoulders. She didn’t seem to notice. Barbara sighed, perhaps not quite so audibly but, with gentlemanly impartiality, Ian’s other arm reached out to comfort her. All he could see on the screen was sand, sand, sand, and more sand. Why couldn’t the TARDIS, just once, materialise in a pleasant, leafy, tree-lined street in Hampstead, or on Wimbledon Common? How about a pretty Yorkshire dale, or a Welsh mountain top with nothing around more menacing than a flock of silly sheep? Or, if it had to be sand, why not a sun-drenched Californian beach? Or maybe even the South of France? Yes, there was a pleasant thought: cafes and cordon bleu restaurants, palm-shaded promenades and contented humans basking on that sand, soaking up the sun’s rays through their sunscreen, swimming and playing in a beautiful blue and silver sea; smiling, laughing, happy people, sipping cool drinks, tasting delicious ices.

Thank you both for your reviews. This was a 5 part story that would suffer little if someone destroyed a couple of parts of it. Dec 20, Kerry rated it it was ok Shelves: , 5 , childrens , media. This novel is based on a Doctor Who story which was originally broadcast from 13 February March This wiki. There were three orphaned episodes on The Troughton Years , but other than that the incomplete stories were unavailable. Dodo, Ben , Polly. These were shortly before the 2nd Doctor had to face the consequences for his courage upon facing the Time Lords who chose the pragmatic law of non-interference, even if interference would save innocent lives. The Time of Angels. July 4, at pm. In fact this story subverts the childish and makes it deeply unsettling and scary. Cully : [Speaking of Zoe] "She can't be a Dulcian - she has an enquiring mind. Another necessary rehabilitation effort, as "The Dominators" is one of the most reviled of TV stories, and certainly the least liked adventure of the black-and-white era. Going by what we have, the quality would have been uneven, but at his best, Marter was very good. This was pretty hilarious. Like The Daleks , pacifism itself is not shown as morally wrong, but there are shades of grey. Uneven, moreso than usual for a Who novelization, but that's likely the fault of the source material.

Without your tips and guidance, I would never have thought of writing a 30-page poem, or understood that it is not at all academically frowned upon to write a master's thesis about ones favourite television programme. Moreover, I would like to thank them for being so human; your demonstrating that (for example) one can be a university professor while being a drummer in a band and/or so absent-minded that one turns up for class wearing odd shoes (yes, I did notice) has been wholly invaluable. Also, I would like to thank my mum Ellen for the loving near-endless supply of cups of coffee and tea, my friends Lianne, Linda and Robert for both much-needed distractions as well as listening and pretending to have an idea what it is I am going on about, and Shereen for the shared moaning and critical reflection on writing our theses.

I inter­ rogated my family (they could do a mean imper­ sonation of the Fish People from The Underwater Menace, 1967) and my brother would speak / darkly of "the one with the Cybermen in the I sewers". But true enlightenment only arrived with the publication of Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke's book, The Making of Doctor Lifelong Doctor \ Who, a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of how the show was made, in which I discovered fan Mark Gatiss all sorts of new terms like producer, floor manager and script editor.
