After all this time anticipating her arrival true, Jodie Whittaker’s first series as the Doctor has been and gone, so we’re dedicating a lot of coverage this issue to it. We’ve got everything from reviews of the series by new president Victoria Walker, to predictions from society stalwart Ian Bayley, ratings from Francis Stojsavljevic, and even some poetry from Will Shaw.

We’re looking back too, with debates on the merits of the Capaldi era, a spirited defence of The Time of the Doctor, and drifting back through the years, even a look at the Virgin New Adventures!

Historical background The British Raj began at the end of the 15th century, when Queen Elisabeth the 1st sent a group of merchants in India, that would later become “The East India Company”. Not only did Britain acquire these new territories, but it also imposed them heavy taxations and many cultural changes. When Indians rebelled in 1857, the situation worsened and two-thirds of modern India became British property, creating the British Raj.

Embrace the Darkness is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who . Contents. The Doctor and Charley encounter an ancient race in the Cimmerian System, whose return could prove apocalyptic. But as the Darkness envelops the station the Doctor learns that their seemingly evil acts might be more than they appear. The Doctor — Paul McGann — India Fisher Ferras — Lee Moone Haliard — Mark McDonnell Orllesnsa — Nicola Boyce ROSM — Ian Brooker. Trivia. The name of the robotic control system, ROSM, is clearly an homage to the title character Rossum in R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), a Czech play from 1921, which first introduced the word 'robot' to the general lexicon. In episode 2, the Doctor quotes from Romeo and Juliet ("jocund day stands tiptoe"). This foreshadows the Shakespeare theme of the next play, The Time of the Daleks . External links.
