Coburn had the idea for the design when he came across a real police box while on a walk near his office.[7] Concerned to avoid any possibility of sexual impropriety implicit in having a young girl travelling with an older man, Coburn also in- sisted that the character of Susan Foreman should be re- William Hartnell and Carole Ann Ford in the original pilot episode.

1.2.5 Commercial releases

In print

This was the first Doctor Who serial to be adapted as a novel. Written by David Whitaker, the book was first published in hardback on 12 November 1964 by Freder- ick Muller as Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks.[29] A paperback release by Armada Books fol- lowed in 1965.[30] In 1973 Target Books published it under the cover title Doctor Who and the Daleks, although the full title was still given on the inside frontpage. From 1977 onwards reprints dropped the full title. In 1992 the novelisation was retitled Doctor Who - The Daleks. It was the very first novelisation published under the Target imprint (the books would continue for the next 20 years). From 1983 onwards the Target novelisations bore num- bers, with the first 73 releases retroactively numbered in alphabetical order. However, it would not be until 1992 that an actual reprint stated it was “No. 16” in the Target Books Doctor Who Library. UK DVD front cover Whitaker’s book differs from most later novelisations in that it is written in the first person and from the point of view of a companion (Ian Chesterton).

Doyle Wallis gave the serial a rating of two and a half stars out of five, feel- ing that the weakness was attributed to the Doctor’s ab- sence (deeming the two episodes Hartnell was absent for as the weakest of the serial), the lack of a main antagonist that would thread the episodes together, the “lacking and disparate” world of Marinus and the “ramshackle” execu- tion of the concept.[8] Arnold T. Blumburg of IGN gave The Keys of Marinus a score of 4 out of 10, describing it as “a clichéd premise ... handled poorly and with no spark at all apart from Hartnell’s late-hour rally”. He cited the poor production quality and the “hodge-podge” leaps to various locations on Marinus which were “boring if not inept”.[9] However, the story and its structure was met with some positive reception. Graham Kibble-White in Doctor Who Magazine derided Susan’s character for “devolving into a bit of a shrill” but was generally positive towards the episodic story structure and the timing of Hartnell’s hol- iday. Despite this, he wrote that the scripts of the final two episodes “never truly engages with the tenets of court- room drama”.[10] A Den of Geek felt that the different lo- cations structure “works incredibly well” by keeping the momentum and making each episode “fresh”.[11]

The plan to extract the Earth’s core and the mine works in Bedfordshire are mentioned, implying that the two stories are involved with the same invasion. The date of 2158 agrees with the above rea- soning about the invasion having started in approximately 2157. Dortmun calls the material the Dalek casings are made of 'Dalekanium'. In the alternative future of Day of the Daleks (and the PC computer game Destiny of the Doc- tors), Dalekanium is an unstable explosive that can pen- etrate Dalek casings.

Paul Cornell, , and wrote of the serial in The Discontinuity Guide (1995), “There are some wonderful exterior sequences, with giddy scenes of Daleks on Westminster Bridge and in Trafalgar Square (they've added lettering of their own to various monu- ments). The only thing that lets down the vast produc- tion values is the Slyther...Obvious Dan Dare stuff, but done with such hallucinatory conviction that the end re- sult is very impressive.”[9] In The Television Compan- ion (1998), David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker said that the story “surely ranks as one of the series’ all- time greats”, with impressive scripting and location film- ing despite some clumsy direction. They also praised the “poignant and moving” final scene.[10] In 2008, Mark Braxton of Radio Times noted the continuity errors con- cerning the Daleks but praised the supporting cast, loca- tion filming, and emotional ending. However, he pointed out that the ambition had “consequences” in the form of production shortcomings.[11] The A.V. Club reviewer Christopher Bahn wrote that the serial had not “aged well at all” because it was “frequently slow-paced and suffers badly from his penchant for deliberately running out the clock by throwing in long, meandering subplots”. He felt that Nation was not interested in the Daleks as charac- ters and the Robomen were “more interesting concep- tually than in execution”, and that the dramatic impact The DVD edition of The Dalek Invasion of Earth. of Susan’s departure was “wasted” because the Doctor chose for her.

Home media 5.2.3 Broadcast and reception

The Five Doctors was first broadcast in the United States on the actual date of the programme’s 20th anniversary. The broadcast in the United Kingdom was delayed two days so it could coincide with the BBC’s Children in Need charity night, with an outro in character by . There were a few segments in the BBC broadcast that had not been shown in the US airing A four-part-serial version of the story was shown on BBC One, nightly between 14 August and 17 August 1984 at 6:15 p.m., achieving viewing figures of 4.7, 4.5, 3.7 and 4.8 million respectively.[15] Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping wrote of the special in The Discontinuity Guide (1995), “A fine an- niversary tale, although don't analyse the plot too closely as it’s largely a collection of set pieces without a great deal of substance. This is Terrance Dicks’ loving trib- ute to a series that he helped to mould and, as such, contains everything that it should.”[16] In The Television Companion (1998), David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker stated that The Five Doctors “is not as bad as it could have been ...[but] the story fairly groans at the seams with the inclusion of so many 'old favourites’.” Still, they felt that it worked as a one-off fun celebra- tion, although it was disappointed that not all five Doc- tors participated, and one of the four who did was not Original UK DVD release front cover played by the original actor.[17] In 2012, Patrick Mulk- ern of Radio Times found the serial fun and with a lot of love, though he noted Pertwee and Sarah Jane fared less The Five Doctors was first released on VHS and Betamax well than some of the others.

6.1 The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Not to be confused with The Magician’s Apprentice (Doctor Who).

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is an original novel written by and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the First Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara.

6.1.1 Plot

Elbyon is an incredible world of fantasy and magic: here, elves and dwarves live in harmony with man, wizards casts powerful spells, and knights slay dragons. Yet for all that, it seems Elbyon has secrets of its own: The TARDIS crew discover a relic from the 13th century in the woods, and become embroiled in the sinister machinations that threaten both the peace of the land, as well as the fate of the entire galaxy.
