Christian’s passion for Doctor Who and all things Time Lordly began when he was but an infant; memories of The Pirate Planet and Destiny of the Daleks still haunt him, but his clearest classic Doctor Who memory remains the moment the Fourth Doctor fell from a radio telescope… When the announcement was made in 2003 that Doctor Who would be returning to TV, Christian was nowhere to be seen – in fact he was enjoying himself at the Munich Oktoberfest. Desperate to make amends for this Kasterborous.com was launched, with the help of illustrator and designer Anthony Dry and prop fanatic Brian A. Terranova. While he isn’t bemoaning the end of the Philip Hinchcliffe era of Doctor Who, Christian enjoys meals with his wife, listening to a wide range of music (particularly Led Zeppelin) and playing guitar. 3 4 AUTHOR’S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Primarily, this book is for all of the fantastic readers of www.kasterborous.com whose support made this possible. Massive thanks must also go to our contributors, notably those whose work doesn’t appear in Ultimate Regeneration but whose efforts have made it possible.

Over the course of 5 years, Kasterborous reviewed 60 episodes of Doctor Who plus a couple of shorter specials as well as profiling the actors, characters and writers who contributed to the new series. The book you hold in your hands right now is a distillation of these articles and reviews, a real-time appraisal of each episode of the Russell T Davies era of Doctor Who. As is the case within Doctor Who fandom, there is contentious material here. You might disagree with the review of Love & Monsters, for instance, or think that The Long Game is one of the best episodes of the Ninth Doctor’s adventures. Of course, opinions can change – some episodes can improve through repeated viewings for a number of reasons. This book is also a diary of what the Kasterborous team felt about particular episodes when they were first broadcast, and therefore acts as an interesting barometer of changing opinions. (Also please note that our international band of contributors has resulted in a book that adopts both US and UK English; this information might seem superfluous but I am keen to retain their individual voices on the printed page, so if the spelling of “color” particularly grates with you, I left it in on purpose). However, this isn’t some website that’s been printed out, bound and sold to loyal Doctor Who fans at a horribly inflated price. In addition to the 60 reviews and 30 articles, this book also features 50% original written content that cannot be found online. As a team of twenty-something classic series fans when the new era of Doctor Who was ushered in, Ultimate Regeneration also acts as an account of how we all learned how to stop fretting and love the “new series”. So, prepare to travel through time, and enjoy the ultimate regeneration of Doctor Who from its surprisingly successful revival in 2005 to The End of Time itself in early 2010! 9 THE REBIRTH OF DOCTOR WHO It all seems such a blur now – the announcement, the casting, the launch – yet the return of Doctor Who took place over an 18 month period, beginning in September 2003. Amusingly after years of endless hoping that the series would one day return, I was completely unaware of the BBC announcement on September 26th, 2003, on account of being on a coach through France on the way to the Munich Oktoberfest. In fact it was a whole week later before I discovered the good news! As with most fans, I was thrilled that the writer of such successful dramas as Queer as Folk and The Second Coming, Russell T Davies, was going to be the main creative driving force behind the new series. To be honest, it was a Whovian’s wet dream. In those days, Kasterborous was just a constellation in Doctor Who – it would be another 12 months before our first articles and artwork were published online, and in the preceding time

  • How Existing Social Norms Can Help Shape the Next Generation of User-Generated Content
    Everything I Need To Know I Learned from Fandom: How Existing Social Norms Can Help Shape the Next Generation of User-Generated Content ABSTRACT With the growing popularity of YouTube and other platforms for user-generated content, such as blogs and wikis, copyright holders are increasingly concerned about potential infringing uses of their content. However, when enforcing their copyrights, owners often do not distinguish between direct piracy, such as uploading an entire episode of a television show, and transformative works, such as a fan-made video that incorporates clips from a television show. The line can be a difficult one to draw. However, there is at least one source of user- generated content that has existed for decades and that clearly differentiates itself from piracy: fandom and “fan fiction” writers. This note traces the history of fan communities and the copyright issues associated with fiction that borrows characters and settings that the fan-author did not create. The author discusses established social norms within these communities that developed to deal with copyright issues, such as requirements for non-commercial use and attribution, and how these norms track to Creative Commons licenses. The author argues that widespread use of these licenses, granting copyrighted works “some rights reserved” instead of “all rights reserved,” would allow copyright holders to give their consumers some creative freedom in creating transformative works, while maintaining the control needed to combat piracy. However, the author also suggests a more immediate solution: copyright holders, in making decisions concerning copyright enforcement, should consider using the norms associated with established user-generated content communities as a framework for drawing a line between transformative work and piracy.

  • 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.

    When the Doctor returns to Gallifrey, he learns that his bio data extract has been stolen from the Time Lords’ master computer known as the Matrix.
