Apparently it's book season at Verity! For this week's Extra we bring you yet another book review. Join Deb, Erika, Liz, and Tansy as we discuss what we thought of the latest of the "geek chronicles" from Mad Norwegian Press, Queers Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the LGBTQ Fans Who Love It. As you may expect, we don't agree about what types of essays we like best, but we do agree that this is an excellent addition to anyone's Doctor Who nonfiction library. If you want to check out one example of what you can find in it, take a gander at Rachel Swirsky's "The Girl Who Waited (for the Guidance Counselor to Get to His Point)". Though as we point out, the essays in this book run the gamut, so there's something for everyone! ^E

Sigrid Ellis, Michael D. Thomas, Erik Stadnik and Mary Anne Mohanraj reveal all about Mad Norwegian Press's Queers Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the LGBTQ Fans Who Love It. Secret origins! Star Trek-related confessions! Manifestos! Fun!

The bulk of this week's episode is devoted to "Chicks Unravel Time," edited by Deb Stanish and L.M. Myles, a follow-up by Mad Norwegian Press to the widely praised "Chicks Dig Time Lords." In this book, each writer tackled a different season of Classic Who, with sometimes surprising results! The editors of this weighty tome told Warren and Steven about the creation of the book, the wide range of voices in the book (from pros to first-time writers) and the big difference that a female perspective can have on interpretation of our favorite television program.   Oh yes, and some stats were mulled over at some point in the news segment. Last stats until Christmas, thank Omega!  Check out the show notes at http://www.radiofreeskaro.com

Contents [] // if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); } // [] Plot [] Synopsis On an alien planet the Doctor uncovers a diabolic plot to conquer the universe, with brainwashed soldiers abducted from Earth forced to fight in simulated environments, reflecting the periods in history from whence they were taken. The alien's aim is to produce a super army from the survivors, to this end they have been aided by a renegade from the Doctor's own race the 'Time Lords'. Joining forces with rebel soldiers, who have broken their conditioning, the Doctor and his companions foil the plan and stop the fighting. But the Doctor admits he needs the help of the Time Lords to return the soldiers to their own times, but in asking risks capture for his own past crimes including the theft of the TARDIS. After sending the message he and his companions attempt to evade capture, but are caught. Having returned the soldiers to Earth, the Time Lords erase Zoe and Jamie's memories of travelling with the Doctor, and return them to the point in time just before they entered the TARDIS. They then place the Doctor on trial for stealing the TARDIS and breaking the rule of non-interference. The Doctor presents a spirited defence citing his many battles against the evils of the universe. Accepting this defence the Time Lords announce his punishment is exile to Earth. In addition the operation of the TARDIS is wiped from his memory and his next is imposed. [] Continuity Patrick Troughton later reprised the role of the Second Doctor in , and . In the second of these, he expresses knowledge of events of the final episode of this serial, on the face of it a chronological impossibility, and in the last he is on an assignment for the Time Lords, which is incompatible with the events seen here. These facts gave rise to the theory, enabled by the aforementioned lack of on-screen depiction of the regeneration.The again faces trial in , the beginning of which refers to this previous trial.The time machines designed by the War Chief and used by the War Lords are called SIDRATs, an inversion of the name TARDIS. Though this name is used only once, and then merely in passing, on-screen during the serial (and pronounced "side-rat"), the expanded acronym is revealed to stand for "Space and Inter-Dimensional Robot All-purpose Transporter" in the 1979 novelisation by . It is repeated in the novel by Terrance Dicks, which forms a sequel to The War Games.The Second Doctor's appearance in Terrance Dicks' BBC Books novel, , occurs during this story.

The process was eventually named in , then retrospectively attributed to the earlier two changes of actors — first by series fans, then later by the early-'80s production team in . Until that point, there was some fan controversy over whether the Second Doctor had actually regenerated or merely had his appearance changed.While Troughton's Doctor is sentenced to a forced regeneration at the end of this serial, we do not actually see him regenerate into the (who first appears — briefly wearing the Troughton costume — in the next serial, ). The only other Doctor not to receive an on-screen regeneration is the , who has already regenerated into the at the start of the 2005 series.In the first Episode, the Second Doctor kisses Zoe. This display of platonic affection is the first time that the Doctor kisses one of his companions, though as the series went on it would be far from the last. [] Lasts In the final episode, the Time Lords wipe Zoe's mind and return her to the Wheel, where she encounters Tanya Lernov, a character from . A set from The Wheel in Space was rebuilt and actress (Tanya) rehired for this one scene. The audio drama shows an older Zoe having detailed dreams of her adventures with the Doctor, suspecting that something is blocking her memory, and seeing a psychiatric counsellor in an effort to understand the "dreams".This marks the last appearance of the TARDIS Control Room until in 1971, though the removed TARDIS console would be seen in the Doctor's headquarters laboratory in , and in a hut on the grounds of the titular project in .Episode 10 is the last episode of the original series to be produced in black and white.
