Doctor Who “ Season 2, Episode12-13, “Army of Ghosts” “Doomsday” DOCTOR: You, You've Heard of Me, Then? (你們聽說 Doctor Who “ Season 2, Episode12-13, “Army of Ghosts” “Doomsday” DOCTOR: You, you've heard of me, then? (你們聽說過我?) YVONNE: Well of course we have. And I have to say, if it wasn't for you, none of us would be here. The Doctor and the Tardis. (那當然了。我得說,要不是因為你,我們根本不會在這裡。博 士和 TARDIS!!) DOCTOR: And you are? (那你是?) YVONNE: Oh, plenty of time for that. But according to the records, you're not one for travelling alone. The Doctor and his companion. That's a pattern, isn't it, right? There's no point hiding anything. Not from us. So where is she? (那可以慢慢說。不過按紀錄,你不是單獨旅行的。博 士,和他的夥伴。就這模式,對吧? 你不用隱藏什麼,至少對我們不用。那,她在哪?) DOCTOR: Yes. Sorry. Good point. She's just a bit shy, that's all. (對,有道理。抱歉。她就是有 點害羞啦。) DOCTOR: But here she is, Rose Tyler. (就是她,Rose Tyler.) DOCTOR: Hmm. She's not the best I've ever had. Bit too blonde. Not too steady on her pins. A lot of that. (她不是我最好的夥伴。有點太金髮,做事不仔細,常這樣。) DOCTOR: And just last week, she stared into the heart of the Time Vortex and aged fifty seven years. But she'll do. (就上個禮拜,她直視時間流,結果老了 57 歲。不過還好啦。) JACKIE: I'm forty! (我才四十歲!) DOCTOR: Deluded. Bless. I'll have to trade her in. Do you need anyone? She's very good at tea. Well, I say very good, I mean not bad. Well, I say not bad. Anyway, lead on. Allons-y! But not too fast. Her ankle's going. (別唬我。上帝保佑。我得把她賣了。你們需要人嗎?他很會泡茶。額,我 說「很會」意思是不差。額,不差啦。反正呢,你帶路吧,出發!別走太快,她的腳不太好。) JACKIE: I'll show you where my ankle's going. (我就讓你看看我的腳哪裡不好。) ======================== YVONNE: And what is that? (那是什麼?) DOCTOR: Well, it's impossible for starters. I always thought it was just a theory, but it's a vessel designed to exist outside time and space, travelling through the Void. (很難跟初學者解釋。我總 以為這只是理論,這是一艘設計來獨立於時空之外的船艦,可以穿越虛無。) RAJESH: And what's the Void? (什麼是虛無?) DOCTOR: The space between dimensions. There's all sorts of realities around us, different dimensions, billions of parallel universes all stacked up against each other. The Void is the space in between, containing absolutely nothing. Imagine that. Nothing. No light, no dark, no up, no down, no life, no time. Without end. My people called it the Void. The Eternals call it the Howling. But some people call it Hell. (平行宇宙之間的空隙。我們周圍有各種真實的世界,是 不同的次元,無數的平行宇宙全部獨立存在,而虛無則是平行宇宙之間沒有光,沒有黑暗,沒有 上下,沒有生命,沒有時間,沒有終點的地方。很多人稱它為虛無,永恆的種族稱它為咆嘯之 地,但有些人,稱它為地獄。) ========================= DOCTOR: Let me show you. Sphere comes through. (展示給你看。球體過來了。) DOCTOR: But when it made the hole, it cracked the world around it. The entire surface of this dimension splintered. And that's how the ghosts get through. That's how they get everywhere. They're bleeding through the fault lines. Walking from their world, across the Void, and into yours, with the human race hoping and wishing and helping them along. But too many ghosts, and …..(當它弄了一個洞,就使四周的世界出現裂縫。整個次元的表面龜裂,而那些鬼就是這樣 過來的,他們就是這樣到處都是,滲過那些裂縫,從他們的世界,穿過虛無,來到你們的世界, 隨著人類的期望過來了。但是太多鬼......) YVONNE: Well, in that case we'll have to be more careful. Positions! Ghost Shift in one minute. (那麼,我們就得更小心。各就各位! 一分鐘內鬼移轉。) DOCTOR: Miss Hartman, I am asking you, please don't do it. (Hartman 小姐,我拜託你不要。) YVONNE: We have done this a thousand times. (我們這已做過快一千次了。) DOCTOR: Then stop at a thousand! (那就在第一千次停下來!) ========================= DOCTOR: Never seen her before in my life. (我這輩子沒見過她。) YVONNE: Good. Then we can have her shot. (很好。那我們可以把她槍斃。) DOCTOR: Oh, all right then. It was worth a try. That's, that's Rose Tyler. (好吧,總要試試。她是 Rose Tyler。) ROSE [on screen]: Sorry. Hello. (抱歉。嗨!) YVONNE: Well, if that's Rose Tyler, who's she? (她是 Rose Tyler,那這又是誰?) JACKIE: I'm her mother. (我是她媽媽。) YVONNE: Oh, you travel with her mother? (哦~你跟她媽媽一起旅行?) JACKIE: He kidnapped me. (是他綁架我。) DOCTOR: Please, when Torchwood comes to write my complete history, don't tell people I travelled through time and space with her mother. (拜託,當火炬木小組要寫我的傳記時,別提到 我跟她媽媽一起時空旅行。) JACKIE: Charming. (真酷。) DOCTOR: I've got a reputation to uphold. (我有名聲要維護。) ========================= ROSE: But we can't just leave. What about the Daleks? And the Cybermen? (我們不能走。 Dalek 怎辦? 還有 Cybermen 呢?) DOCTOR: They're part of the problem, and that makes them part of the solution. Oh yes! Well? Isn't anyone going to ask what is it with the glasses? (他們是問題的一部分,同時也是解決方案 的一部分。讚啦!沒人要問這眼鏡怎麼回事嗎?) ROSE: What is it with the glasses? (這眼鏡怎麼回事?) DOCTOR: I can see, that's what. because we've got two separate worlds, but in between the two separate worlds, we've got the Void. That's where the Daleks were hiding. And the Cybermen travelled through the Void to get here. And you lot, one world to another, via the Void. Oh, I like that. Via the Void. (我看得見,就這回事!因為有兩個平行世界,而在平行世界的中 間,有虛無。而 Daleks 就藏在虛無當中,而 Cybermen 穿過了虛無來到我們這裡。然後你們這些 傢伙,從一個世界又一個世界,世界又世界!喔~~我喜歡這個詞,一個世界又一個世界!) ========================== DOCTOR: But the Daleks lived inside the Void. They're bristling with it. Cybermen, all of them. I just open the Void and reverse. The Void stuff gets sucked back inside. (但是,Daleks 原本躲在 虛無當中,塞得滿滿。Cybermen 也是。我就把虛無開啟,整個逆轉它。虛無物質,就全部被吸 回虛無裡去。) ROSE: Pulling them all in! (把它們全吸進去!) DOCTOR: Pulling them all in! (把它們全吸進去!) ROSE: But it's like you said. We've all got Void stuff. Me too, because we went to that parallel world. We're all contaminated. We'll get pulled in. (但就像你說的,我們身上都有虛無物質。我也 有,因為我們都去過平行宇宙。我們都沾上了。我們會被吸進去的。) .

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”. From the BBC Archive Original 'treatment' (Proposal notes) for the 1963 series: Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/doctorwho/6403.shtml?page=1 http://aetw.org/omega.html And as to the central character ...

  • 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.

  • The Advent of Fear by Mark B
    The Advent of Fear By Mark B. Oliver Part One 'What do you think?' Beth Summers turned round and burst out laughing as her grandma brandished a bright red feather boa around her shoulders. 'This used to belong to my mother,' continued Beth's gran as she jiggled her hips, causing her 12- year-old grand-daughter to laugh even more. 'You could put it on the Christmas tree if we can't find the tinsel,' replied Beth. They were hunting in the attic for the Christmas decorations and had found all manner of things but there was not a bauble in sight. As her laughing subsided, Beth pulled an old blanket off a dusty box, uncovering copper pots and pans and something that looked quite out of place. Pulling it free, Beth held a frame of some kind and her gran came over. 'Now this belonged to my great-grandmother...' said the old lady. For a moment it seemed to stir a half-memory before she added, 'I'd forgotten all about it. It's the advent calendar she was given for her first Christmas.' The frame was a dull silver colour and about the size of a large book. Its edges were intricately designed and Beth thought it looked quite beautiful. She could see small hinged windows all over its surface, some of which were open and behind each one was a very old photograph. 'That's her there,' murmured Gran wistfully as she pointed to one of the tiny sepia images, a baby in a pretty white dress.

  • Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who
    Adventures in Time and Sound: Leitmotif and Repetition in Doctor Who by Emilie Hurst A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Emilie Hurst ii Abstract This thesis explores the intersections between repetition, leitmotif and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze in the context the BBC television series Doctor Who (1963-1989; 2005- ). Deleuze proposes that instead of the return of the same, repetition, by its constant insertion in a new temporal context can produce difference as part of the process of the eternal return. He also rejects the concepts of being in favour of becoming. I argue his framework on repetition allows us to broaden the definition of the leitmotif and embrace the role of repetition. I analyse the leitmotif of three characters: Amy Pond, River Song, and the Doctor. In all three instances, the leitmotifs are an active participant in the process of becoming while, simultaneously, undergoing their own becoming. For River, the leitmotif also works as a territorializing refrain, while for the Doctor, use of leitmotif paradoxically gives the impression of being. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisors Alexis Luko and James Deaville for providing me with guidance along the way, as well as Paul Théberge who stepped in the final month to help me re- organize my thoughts. The input of all three helped insure that what follows is a much more cohesive, better organized final product. I would also like to thank graduate supervisors Anna Hoefnagels, and examiners Jesse Stewart and André Loiselle all of whom went out of their way to assure I completed my defense on time.
