    “Words Win Wars”: Relatedness, Alterity and the Function of Dialogue in Doctor Who Literary Studies English Language and Culture MA Thesis Lenneke Maan s0954500 9th of July 2014 First Reader: Dr. Michael Newton Second Reader: Dr. Evert-Jan van Leeuwen Maan 1 Little Boy: “Are you afraid of monsters?” Doctor: “No. They're afraid of me.” Maan 2 Acknowledgements / First Things First, But Not Necessarily In That Order First and foremost, I would like to thank Michael Newton and Evert van Leeuwen, for making my scholarly education into an all the more bearable, and even – dare I say – unambiguously fun process. Without your tips and guidance, I would never have thought of writing a 30-page poem, or understood that it is not at all academically frowned upon to write a master's thesis about ones favourite television programme. Moreover, I would like to thank them for being so human; your demonstrating that (for example) one can be a university professor while being a drummer in a band and/or so absent-minded that one turns up for class wearing odd shoes (yes, I did notice) has been wholly invaluable. Also, I would like to thank my mum Ellen for the loving near-endless supply of cups of coffee and tea, my friends Lianne, Linda and Robert for both much-needed distractions as well as listening and pretending to have an idea what it is I am going on about, and Shereen for the shared moaning and critical reflection on writing our theses.

The computer game was a smashing success and has been a gaming classic ever since. The most prominent designer of the game, Sid Meier, was also the programmer. The other chief designer was Bruce Shelley; but more than a score of other people helped with the game. A complete list of the game credits is given in [10].

The term ``4X'' is explained by [1] as standing for the phrase ``eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate'' -- these four verbs provide a sketchy overview of the game. The player begins the game viewing a map with control over one or more `settler' units (a unit is a small figure which can be moved around the world map representing a specialized group of people).

I inter­ rogated my family (they could do a mean imper­ sonation of the Fish People from The Underwater Menace, 1967) and my brother would speak / darkly of "the one with the Cybermen in the I sewers". But true enlightenment only arrived with the publication of Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke's book, The Making of Doctor Lifelong Doctor \ Who, a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of how the show was made, in which I discovered fan Mark Gatiss all sorts of new terms like producer, floor manager and script editor.

  • Beyond Gender?
    Beyond gender? Abstract The purpose of this project is to look at the importance gender in the BBC show Doctor Who. This has been achieved by selecting ten focus characters for close analysis; five companions and five incarnations of the Doctor. The chosen characters are; Barbara Wright and the First Doctor, Tegan Jovanka and the Fifth Doctor, Ace and the Seventh Doctor, Rose Tyler and the Ninth Doctor, and finally Donna Noble and the Tenth Doctor. The analysis was based on a poststructuralist approach to the selected storylines of the show, in particular how the characters are influenced by gender roles and gender expectations. What this analysis showed was a tendency to stay close to the socially accepted norms of behaviour by males and females individually, although examples of pushing the boundary is also present. Based on the analysis, the discussion looked first at what values and personality traits which are shared by the selected companions, and secondly how the character of the Doctor has changed through the more than 50 years the show has existed. Interestingly enough, in both cases a tendency of a more mixed approach towards gender was uncovered, rather than an actual progress with the goal of achieving gender equality for the Time Lord and his companions. The overall purpose of this project is to answer; What is the importance of gender in relations to the characterisation of the Doctor and his female companions, in BBC’s Doctor Who, and how have these followed the progress of gender relations during the 54 years the show has been produced? 1 Table of content 1.0 Introduction ................................................................................................................................................
