FREE DOCTOR WHO: THE SEEDS OF WAR PDF Nicholas Briggs | none | 01 Mar 2013 | Big Finish Productions Ltd | 9781781780534 | English | Maidenhead, United Kingdom The Seeds of War (audio story) | Tardis | Fandom The Seeds of Death is the fifth serial of the sixth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The serial is set in London and on the Moon in the 21st century. Doctor Who: The Seeds of War the end of the twenty-first century, a teleportation technology called "T-Mat" has replaced all traditional forms of transport, allowing people and objects to travel instantly anywhere on Earth. Manned space exploration has ceased due to the ease of life on Earth. However, something goes amiss at the T-Mat vital relay station on the Moon and the system breaks down. With communications out, and no way to reach the Moon without T-Mat, those responsible for the system, Commander Radnor and his assistant Gia Kelly, turn to Professor Eldred to help. He has been privately building a rocket in hopes of re-igniting interest in space travel. The Doctor and his companions volunteer to crew the rocket. The relay station on the Moon has been invaded by Ice Warriorsa militant Martian race, who plan to use it as a staging point for an invasion of Earth. The technicians attempt to fight the invaders but several are killed, while Phipps goes into hiding and Fewsham Doctor Who: The Seeds of War pressed into assisting the invaders. When the Doctor and his companions arrive on the Moon they make contact with Phipps, who is hiding in the moonbase. The Ice Warriors have a deadly plan: they have seeds, which they send to various parts of Earth using T-mat, of a fungus that will multiply and suck all the oxygen from the surrounding atmospheremaking it more comfortable for the Martians but uninhabitable for humans. Once the full T-Mat relay is repaired, one seed is sent to Earth Control and explodes, killing a technician and alerting Radnor and Eldred of the danger. The seed soon creates foam, which multiplies its effects and imperils more and more people. Other T-Mat terminals across the world receive more seeds. The Ice Warriors also use T-Mat to dispatch a small advance force to seize Earth's weather control systems in London and ensure good conditions for the growth of the fungus. During their main assault to free the Doctor, Phipps is killed. The Ice Warriors have now retreated to their spacecraft to plan the next stage of their invasion, leaving an opportunity for most of the captives to flee. Fewsham, however, remains behind, seemingly fearing an enquiry into his actions if he returns to Earth. In T-Mat control on Earth, the Doctor works out that the Doctor Who: The Seeds of War pods can be defeated using water. This explains where the Ice Warrior beamed to Earth has gone, and the Doctor tracks him down to the weather control system, where the alien has been stationed to prevent any rain fall that would be deadly to the pods. The Doctor and his allies recapture the weather control system and summon rain, destroying the fungus, which is used to the dry conditions on Mars. Fewsham has meanwhile delivered a crushing blow to the Ice Warriors. He dupes Slaar into revealing in a live link with Earth that the main invasion force is following a homing signal to the Moon, for which he is killed. But at least the Doctor now knows the full extent of the Ice Warrior plans. He returns to the moonbase by T-mat to set a new signal for the Martian fleet from there. The Doctor confronts Slaar while substituting the alternative signal. This draws the Martian fleet away and lures it into the Sun. Slaar moves to kill the Doctor in revenge but the arrival of Jamie in a T-Mat cubicle causes chaos, and Slaar Doctor Who: The Seeds of War killed in one of the sonic beams of the last of his warriors. Jamie then kills the surviving Martian and the invasion is over. Although Brian Hayles is solely credited as the story's author, series script editor Terrance Dicks rewrote Episodes 3 to 6 of the script. Dicks was co-credited on the sleeve of the VHS release for his writing duties on the serial. Patrick Troughton does not appear in Episode 4 as he was on holiday when it was being recorded. A double stands in for him in some shots where the Doctor is seen unconscious on the floor. This story is the first story to feature Alan Bennion in the role of an Ice Lord, this one named Slaar. Sonny Caldinez, who played Slaar's second in command, is the only actor to appear as an Ice Warrior in all four televised Doctor Who stories in the classic series to feature the Ice Warriors. Caldinez also appeared as Kemel in The Evil of the Daleks Steve Peters, who played an Ice Warrior, was billed simply as "Alien" in the Radio Times Doctor Who: The Seeds of War for episode one, so as not to spoil the surprise of the Ice Warriors' appearance. A novelisation of this serial, written by Dicks, was published by Target Books in July This story was released on VHS and Betamax in in an omnibus format. The story was chosen to represent the Patrick Troughton era as part of the Doctor Who 40th Anniversary releases.

Lets start with the Doctor as played by Colin Baker. Melanie was famous for her screams and pantomime-like dialogue but in this story Matt Fitton finally does her character justice and presents us with a more toned down version of Mel which adds another reason for Doctor Who: The Seeds of War story to be amazing. This story takes place on Kalsos where as soon as the Doctor and Mel arrive they are quickly separated and led on different adventures. The story is split into 4 parts although the only real connection between them is the threat and the characters, each one seems like its own little story. But it just resolves the cliffhanger sort of for part one and then begins the set up for its own little story. Now onto the actual plot. The Doctor and Mel arrive on Kalsos as explained above. He believes Mel to be an enemy but she soon wins Doctor Who: The Seeds of War over and it is clear that there is supposed to be a slight romance between the two characters. The Doctor Who: The Seeds of War to Part one is magnificent sort of resembles that of The Caves of Androzani part Doctor Who: The Seeds of War. There seems to be a theme of poverty within the story. With poor people filling the streets and people fighting over rations, even the Professor who is known by thousands seems to be struggling to stay alive, with only his daughter for help. The music is fantastic and the scene between the professor and his daughter at the beginning of part two is where it stands out. Another great performance given by a guest star is Lucy Russell who plays Trellak. The story is sometimes difficult to keep up with but everything is explained by the end of the story which is the best conclusion ever.
