Terror of the Vervoids: Part One

In 2986 AD, aboard the space liner Hyperion III, Doctor and Mel arrive responding to a distress call; communications officer Edwardes is found incapacitated, and the Hydroponics labs are hiding strange plant pods. The Doctor and Mel begin investigating missing pieces: “Demeter seeds” have been stolen, and someone deep in the ship is trying to keep secrets. Suspicion mounts when a passenger whose identity seems familiar dies under strange circumstances.

E70

Terror of the Vervoids: Part Two

More people disappear or are killed; the plant pods have been tampered with and the Vervoids—sentient plant creatures—are unleashed. Mel gathers clues via the hydroponics centre; the Doctor uncovers evidence of sabotage among the scientists Bruchner, Doland, and Professor Lasky. Alongside the plant threat, tensions rise among the native species aboard the ship (the Mogarians), and the threat becomes existential: the Vervoids intend to eliminate animal life for their own survival.

E71

Terror of the Vervoids: Part Three

The Doctor and Mel strive to find a solution as the Vervoids rampage. Ruth Baxter, once human, is revealed to be partially transformed by the Vervoid biology. Lasky attempts negotiation but is betrayed; the Vervoids claim to have no alternative but to kill—or be killed. On top of that, mutinous activity among the crew and alien collaborators threatens the ship. The Doctor works toward a radical plan involving rare metal vionesium.

E72

Terror of the Vervoids: Part Four

With the Vervoids’ threat fully unleashed, the Doctor uses vionesium to force the plants into their natural death cycle under light and oxygen. The final confrontation sees the Vervoids withering and dying; those survivors aboard Hyperion III escape the carnage. The Doctor and Mel depart in the TARDIS, leaving a ship badly shaken but saved—and the moral cost of extinguishing a sentient species unspoken in this version.

Meanwhile, Mel is separated and makes first contact with Lakertya natives, including the rebellious Ikona, while trying to flee from the Rani’s minions.

E74

Time and the Rani: Part Two Extended Edition

Still suffering from amnesia and deception, the Doctor is manipulated by the disguised Rani—forced to fix her machine without knowing its purpose. Mel and Ikona attempt to uncover more of the Rani’s plot, navigate through traps, and rescue local allies. The true nature of the machine begins to come to light: kidnapped geniuses, strange matter, and a time-manipulating brain.

E75

Time and the Rani: Part Three Extended Edition

Mel is captured; the Doctor is drawn deeper into the Rani’s scheme as he comes to distrust the false “Mel.” He discovers the Rani’s fixed-trajectory rocket aimed at a strange-matter asteroid.

The stakes rise as trust is betrayed, and Beyus makes difficult choices to delay catastrophe.

Many years later, this peaceful resolve is severely tested when two of their number are killed -- and the Doctor’s seventh incarnation becomes embroiled in the struggle against the apparently unstoppable General Tannis. Plagued by ominous portents, the Doctor and his companion Antimony must race across the Universe, taking in the Santine Republic, the Great Orion Nebula and the frozen heart of the Canisian Empire. Meanwhile, the mysterious Minister of Chance battles his own inner demons, and former TARDIS traveller Ace finds herself in training for a destiny she never dreamed possible. Matters reach a terrible climax when Tannis’ next target for subjugation is identified. Exactly how much is the Doctor prepared to sacrifice in order to save Earth?

An Adventure in Space and Time

This special one-off drama travels back in time to 1963 to see how Doctor Who was first brought to the screen. Actor William Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Wannabe producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry's glass ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama. Allied with a team of unusual but brilliant people, they went on to create the longest running science fiction series ever made.

We also consider the economic troubles of the late seventies and their effect on the show before its regeneration just in time for the eighties.

The Sylvester McCoy Era

In this part, the era of the Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, is considered. We look at how producer, John Nathan-Turner, was forced to undertake the unpleasant task of replacing the lead and how he came to choose the eccentric McCoy for the role. The pressure of TV execs and protest groups to tone down the show's violent excesses and how this led to a rather tame and camp version of what went before is looked at before we consider how the show finally regained its stride, producing some of the best ever episodes before its untimely demise.

The Wilderness Years & The Paul McGann Era

In this part, the fourteen-year period following the cancellation of Classic Doctor Who is examined.

We glimpse at the horror that was 'Dimensions in Time' before taking a comprehensive and detailed look at the long-gestating TV Movie starring Paul McGann, how it ultimately failed to reboot the show, and what came next...

Chronicle: The Realms of Gold

John Julius Norwich's 1969 retelling of the story of the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the Aztecs. Hernan Cortes was the first and greatest of the Conquistadors of New Spain. His confrontation with Montezuma and the empire of the Aztecs in Mexico in 1519 was the moment when for the very first time, in all their power and might, the Old World and the New stood face to face. Cortes's achievement was extraordinary - no less than the defeat of an entire civilisation with only 400 soldiers at his command. But his victory would have been impossible but for one incredible fact - Montezuma believed that Cortes was his God, the Feathered Serpent Quetzalcoatl. John Julius Norwich recounts the extraordinary interplay of mythology and mounted warfare, of human sacrifice and brilliant strategy which led ultimately to the creation of Mexico.

Devious

The Second Doctor has been partially regenerated by the Time Lords as punishment for breaking the non-interference policy, but the process is stopped halfway, leaving the Doctor an amalgam of his second and as-of-yet future incarnation. The Doctor is sent on a mission which involves battling Daleks, where he sees many people die. Afterwards, he is sent to a void by a pair of Time Lords, where he finds his TARDIS. Inside he tries to leave, but finds the ship not working. He is suddenly granted by an old man in a suit, who reveals himself to be the Third Doctor — the man who the Doctor was meant to turn into. The Doctor prepares himself for the rest of his regeneration, and collapses in a chair. There, he completes his transformation. Awakening, he is greeted by one of the Time Lords on the TARDIS' viewing screen, who wipes the Doctor's mind of his knowledge of time travel and sends the TARDIS to Earth. There, the Doctor exits the TARDIS and collapses outside.

A woman with a fez is cleaning Sutekh's mask, but when he looks at himself in a mirror, he tells the woman that she missed a bit before he kills her. Sutekh talks about how doing "Doctor Who" typecast him before mentioning one of the projects that the BBC had lined up for him: "Seek Sutekh". The premise involved Sutekh hiding in people's houses and jumping out at them while shouting "Grr!", but the show only ran for one episode after Sutekh killed an old woman. Another project was "Sutekh's Swap Shop" which also only ran for one episode after a child swapped a Bunty annual for an Osiran War Missile, with unpleasant results. Sutekh says that he has some photographs of the filming and gets up to get them, revealing a stage hand on his seat which he slaps away before saying to the camera that he's always doing it.

The Ultimate Adventure

Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure was a stage play that toured from 23 March to 19 August 1989. Jon Pertwee reprised his role as the Third Doctor for the initial run. The rest of the run saw Colin Baker take over as the Sixth Doctor, which included the visit to the Theatre Royal in June 1989. The show was written by Terrance Dicks, who was a writer as well for the TV series and so this show did have full BBC approval. At that time Sylvester McCoy was the seventh incarnation of the Doctor on TV, however the series was axed later in the year. It didn't return to our screens as a full series until 2005. Michael Grayson, Managing Director for the Theatre Royal at that time remembers the production, stating that it didn't have a particularly large audience. Probably indicative of the general waning support for Doctor Who at that time.
