Part 7 Part 7 begins as King Yrcanos, Peri, and Dorf attack the Doctor and the guard escorting him to Crozier’s laboratory. The Doctor is deep into what he calls a play during a break in the actions on Thoros Beta. The reactions of the Doctor and the Valeyard are perfect.

Part 3: The Mysterious Planet As we begin part 3, we find the Doctor, Peri, Sabalom Glitz, Dibber, and Baltazar cornered in the subway.

The first I see this episode, I am surprised by the way the TARDIS is drawn into the space station. Of course, any…

He apparently works on Doctor Who sometime before this. Because Gallaccio turns down MacDonald, John Nathan-Turner is gets the offer to run Doctor Who. Maybe for John Nathan-Turner this is a dream job. I do not personally know that it is. But he is the unit production manager at the time.(1) There are…

But there are those out there that may be wanting the coat to be a different color or even scheme. The first time I see the coat I think that it is okay and that it would be breathe of fresh air to the show. Well, because of what…
