Dr Who Bonanza! by Staff Writers Chameleon Factor # 80 Doctor Who and Torchwood Every Week The Wall of Lies Number 107 Newsletter established 1991, club formed June first 1980 The newsletter of the South Australian Doctor Who Fan Club Inc., also known as SFSA FINAL Adelaide, July--August 2007 WEATHER: Who filled Free Doctor Who fans happy! by staff writers Just wait for the withdrawal symptoms. With Doctor Who on twice a week, fans are as excited as they were on their greatest ever sugar rush. However with this much concentrated Who, the inevitable crash looms large for fandom. “We've seen this boom bust cycle before,” a medical O ut expert warns. “The last time a primary school class t N No ow Happy now, just you wait... was given red cordial and then sent out to play.” ! Dr Who bonanza! by staff writers Chameleon Factor # 80 Doctor Who and Torchwood every week. O ut Doctor Who fans are enjoying both the show and spin off Torchwood in t S So complementary weekly slots on Australian free to air tv. In a winning on n! manoeuver ABC has scheduled Who back at its Saturday time while TEN broadcasts Torchwood on Monday evenings. Simultaneously the third series of Who has finished strongly in the UK. with ratings of eight million, critical acclaim and an extended running time of fifty one and a half minutes for The Last of the Time Lords. The only disappointment was the episode’s non-appearance on the big screen at the Pride London Trafalgar Square event. Initially DVD problems were cited however it has been revealed that the Council noise curfew was SFSA magazine # 21/22 the reason. q Continued Page 2 Sounds of Australia, page 2. Conversion by Cyber, page 4. Doctor Who bonanza! q from Page 1 Ratings news has been mixed. TEN were very pleased to find they had cracked the one million viewer mark with Torchwood: Everything Changes on Monday June 18. The debut appealed to the 18-49 demographic with the posi- tion of the second most popular program of the day. Subsequent episodes have rated around 800,000, still performing the best in the same youth band. For the first time in three years Doctor Who has not rated over one million viewers for the season debut on ABC. Smith and Jones only pulled 928,000 for its June 30 transmission, beaten by a repeat of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1.090 million). However, with the proximity of both a new Harry Potter movie and the final book this is understandable. The Runaway Bride only scored 842,929 on its June 28 broadcast, perform- ing best with viewers 40-54 and females 65+. This viewership is typical of the last two series, and may be why ABC passed Torchwood over. Its popularity The Pioneer plaque is the most commonly with a younger audience, which TEN has traditionally aimed for, may be why defaced astronomical image in libraries. the commercial network purchased it. Sky Watch ABC has enjoyed over one million viewers with two episodes per series. In 2005 it was Rose and The End of the World, and in 2006 New Earth and School Reunion.

  • Doctor Who: Peacemaker
    The peace and quiet of a remote homestead in the 1880s American West is shattered by the arrival of two shadowy outriders searching for ‘the healer’. When the farmer refuses to help them, they raze the house to the ground using guns that shoot bolts of energy instead of bullets. In the town of redwater, the Doctor and Martha learn of a snake-oil salesman whose patent medicines actually cure his patients. But when the Doctor and Martha investigate they discover the truth is stranger, and far more dangerous. Caught between the law of the gun and the deadly plans of intergalactic mercenaries, the Doctor are about to discover just how wild the West can become. Featuring the Doctor and Martha as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC television.

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.

A totally accurate and above reproach internet meme has lead to much experi- mentation on helpless animals. If you add a little fire to your cat it will apparently become a beautiful fluffy neo-soldier called Flareon. Feeding it nothing but lawn clippings produces a Leafeon, while some electricity makes it a Jolteon. Locking it in a freezer overnight will turn your cat into a Glaceon and a small amount of drowning gives Vaporeon. Subjecting it to severe psychic trauma produces Espeon and raising it in a totally dark environment devoid of any light, stimulus or hope of escape makes an Umbreon. The darkest and most sinister cat of all. So far this and all the other experiments have proved the effect unrepeatable, leaving a mass of cats, dogs, O ut mice, rats, snakes, doves, seals, pigeons, monkeys, t N No ow ducks, cattle, horses, penguins, foxes, fish, plants, !
