“Even Time Lords die...” When a dissident Time Lord group inadvertently caused the destruction of an entire civilisation through interference, its members vowed to repent by serving the Universe not as gods of Time but as mere men. 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?

Mar 25, 1981
62 min

In this part, the era of the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, is considered. We explore the 'Golden Era' of Doctor Who, looking at how the show developed into a far darker and scarier version, influenced by the Gothic Horror genre, and the resultant backlash from self-appointed 'moral guardians'. 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. Along the way, three stand out stories are looked at in depth with plenty of clips from the full seven-year Baker tenure!

Dec 13, 1989
47 min

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.

637

The Wilderness Years & The Paul McGann Era

May 20, 1996
86 min

In this part, the fourteen-year period following the cancellation of Classic Doctor Who is examined. We look at how the Doctor Who mythos refused to die and how it continued in novel and comic forms whilst various production companies tried their utmost to take control of the show's future on the small and silver screens. 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

Feb 8, 1969
50 min

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

Jun 22, 1969

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

Aug 19, 1989

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.
