Podcasts about Valeyard

Le verdict n'est pas encore tombé pour le Docteur: le Valeyard n'a plus d'accusation à porter, et un allier inattendu fait son apparition. Cette semaine: The Ultimate Foe

Le Tardis est extrait du temps pour être amené, avec le Docteur seul à bord, dans un tribunal des Seigneurs du Temps. On y tiens le procès du Docteur, qui devra se défendre face à l'Inquisitrice et le Valeyard. Ce dernier déroule devant la cours plusieurs extraits d'aventures du Docteur. La première concerne une planète très semblable à la terre, Ravalox, qui aurait du avoir été détruit par une boule de feu près de 500 ans auparavant. Peri et le Docteur y croisent des survivants qui ont recréé une société primitive, d'autre qui continuent à vivre sous terre, un Robot narcissique et des chercheurs de trésors...

When Doctor Who returned after a forced hiatus in the mid '80s, the show had big plans for its return: The entire season would be a single arc that would see the Time Lords subject the Doctor to an epic trial for his meddling. The Trial of a Time Lord was an ambitious and compelling idea, and years before its time considering how serialized modern franchises have become. Trial's first story has a lot going for it — an interesting mystery, a rebooted Sixth Doctor, and the delight of Tony Selby as Sabalom Glitz — plus it sets the table for a looming showdown between the Doctor and the big baddie for the season, the Valeyard.

Welcome to The Fun Factory: trespassers will be self-prosecuted. The Valeyard (aka The Flaw Doctor) makes the most of a unique Time Lord feature and gives his own SJW predecessor a right legal leathering on Space Station SFX. But they still find time for trips to Camber Quicksands and Popplewick’s House of Exploding Quills, where the waiting room is spacious but gives you that sinking feeling. The Doctor quotes, the Master gloats and Glitz dotes on bank notes, while the Keeper is not averse to the odd slide tackle to protect his Panatropic Net (even though Mel always aims for row Z). But did Jim and Martin find The Ultimate Foe ultimately forgettable or a worthy way to end an era? Listen to find out. The lads also review the audiobooks of The Krotons and The Curse of Fenric. Also available on Spotify.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is writer Jim Sangster, who's browsing the archive shelves for any trace of controversial BBC2 satirical drama A Small Problem, The Ballad Of Lady Di by The Hon. Nick Jones and Ian Macrae, early Channel 4 sci-fi sitcom They Came From Somewhere Else, ITV Nighttime supernatural anthology filler Worlds Beyond, The Spice Girls' Spice World PlayStation game, and Rubovia. Along the way we'll be finding out whether Princess Diana preferred Breaking Glass or Lancelot Link - Secret Chimp, what Minnie Mouse did with the master tape of A Young Person's Guide To Getting Their Ball Back, and why you should never allow The Valeyard near your family's bookshelf.

On this episode, I start my foray into my new Falling-in-Love-with-Doctor-Who-Again series  -- called 'Spark Joy', because I'm a dork – with a squeeful review of my favorite new series story, "Amy's Choice". Now, to be honest, I didn't really have a clue how truly controversial this episode was until I heard the new-ish Verity! Podcast episode chatting about it very recently. And unfortunately, I'd already recorded my own episode at that point when I did hear theirs (I was taking a break from editing it to check it out, in fact), so I couldn't/didn't really talk about or address their particular impressions here in mine – though I did make a comment or two on their blog post for the episode. But anyway, because of that, obviously this episode is just my own personal feelings on the story, untainted by Other Fandom Feels and as different as they apparently might be for other people! And also in the spirit of my joy about the diversity of opinion in our fandom, I'll definitely plonk a link to the Verity! episode below in my show notes, if you're interested in hearing some contrasting opinions on things. #yayfandomdiversity Anyway, aside from my massive squee about 'Amy's Choice', also included in this episode is some squee about conventions (both my recent visit to Wholanta 2019, as well as some exciting guests planned for DragonCon 2019), some squee about other podcasts (as I'm often wont to do), and some squee about listener feedback. And so yeah, this is overall a pretty squeeful episode! So, hold onto your hats, everyone, and enjoy the ride!

The Ultimate Foe is revealed to be (surprisingly?) the ebony wearing Valeyard who turns out to be the Doctor, but not The Doctor as he is really an amalgamation of the Doctor's darker side (with that coat i didn't know there was a dark side). We talk up the pros and cons to this epic ending and find the good and the bad within the storyline. Epic speeches, sidelined companions, Sabalom Glitz, Time Lords, Over the top adversaries, an inquisitive Inquisitor, and the catharsis of spurious morality ensue to bring this story to a close.

Tread Perilously wraps up its look at Doctor Who's 23rd season, "The Trial of a  Time Lord," with part 13 (by Robert Holmes) and part 14 (by Pip & Jane Baker) -- collectively known as "The Ultimate Foe." When the Valeyard enters a charge of genocide against The Doctor, Mel and Sabalom Glitz are pulled out of time to appear as witnesses. Their testimony is never taken into the record as The Master appears to break up the trial and accuse the Valeyard of malpractice ... and of being The Doctor himself. It all leads to the Matrix, which the Valeyard was manipulating the whole time, as part of a plot by the Time Lord High Council to prevent The Doctor from revealing the truth about Ravalox. It is about as confusing as you might think. Justin wants to join the Liverpool Doctor Who Appreciation Society. He and Erik try to figure out The Master's actual motivation across the two episodes. Justin praises the return of Sabalom Glitz and actor Tony Selby. Erik somehow figures out how the Time Lords tying Thetans to volcanoes on Earth led to The Doctor's trial. "A bob for a tuna?" becomes your new favorite bit of Cockney slang. Erik and Justin begin breaking a new BBC prestige series called The Adventures of Eustace Popplewick, and Justin suggests classic Doctor Who would work better as three-part stories.

  The trial continues...this time with a new companion that the Doctor hasn't met yet.  Yes, defending himself in the court of his peers, an independent Time Lord inquiry, the Doctor unwittingly, yet quite characteristically, incriminates himself, if you will, by showing footage where he accidentally commits genocide. Yikes!  Yes, this is one podcast with two serials to discuss!  The Ultimate Foe.  The meta arc series where not only is the Doctor on Trail by the Time Lords, but the show itself is being judged by the court of the BBC.  Will cheap shots like bureaucracy wrapped in paperwork in the matrix help John Nathan Turner plead his case that the show must go on? What do you think about the Trial of a Time Lord series?  What are your thoughts about the existence of the Valeyard?  Since this is the last television experience of the Colin Baker Doctor, what are your thoughts about the era?

When traveling the universe, you'll quickly learn that most planets are fairly dull and uninteresting. They're mainly just chunks of rock or gas floating around a star of some sort. They have no real distinguishing features. Sometimes, you'll find an interesting planet, but that's only once in a blue moon. In this week's episode of Who's Who, Petter and Breki take a look at a very different kind of planet. This week, they're looking at ... ... The Mysterious Planet! Links and Shownotes: This serial spans The Trials of A Timelord, parts 1, 2, 3 and 4. It is well outlined at The Tardis Wiki. It also features the first appearance of The Valeyard.

We've done it! We've reached the end of The Trial of a Timelord with the two part story "The Ultimate Foe!" And who is that foe? The Valeyard? The Master? Pip & Jane Baker? Old man Caruthers who would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you kids and that pesky TARDIS? You'll have to listen to find out and we also dive into the recent companion casting news for Season 11!

A contemporary reading of the Valeyard's motives. An appreciation for Anthony Ainley. Charity singles!

It feels like we just started this era yesterday. The end of an era, truly. The Sixth Doctor was here for nearly 10 seasons. Wait, you’re telling me that in this universe he only had two seasons?

@bigfinish #bigfinish #doctorwho #drwho #gally1  DOCTOR WHO - THE SIXTH DOCTOR: THE LAST ADVENTURE 4 February 2015 Categories: , , , ,  September 2015 sees the release of a very special story from Big Finish, as Doctor Who - The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure at last provides a heroic exit for Colin Baker's much-loved Time Lord... It's with some delight we can confirm some tweets and posts, photos and rumours, that something very extra special is coming for fans of the Sixth Doctor at Big Finish, with the September release of . Colin's last outing in the Doctor Who role on television was The Trial of a Time Lord in 1986, but there was no proper handover story to Sylvester McCoy when he joined the series in 1987. Now, 28 years later, the full details of the Sixth Doctor's death will be revealed - and it's part of an epic battle that spans many sections of his life, and involves many of his companions. ‘I spoke to Colin not long after Matt Smith's final outing, The Time of the Doctor, was broadcast on television,' says producer David Richardson. ‘I felt very strongly that regeneration stories, and each Doctor's final end, are very important to Doctor Who fans - these are stories that allow us to see the Doctor at his most courageous, making a sacrifice that only makes us love him more. And so I asked Colin if he might finally consider doing the Sixth Doctor's final story with us. To my huge delight, he said yes.' ‘I owe a lot to Big Finish,' says Colin. ‘They have given my Doctor the opportunity to live beyond those few episodes on television which were recorded during a time when the programme was under siege from various quarters. My Doctor did not benefit from that time. However at Big Finish the Sixth Doctor has lived and breathed anew and developed in a way that I am extremely happy with. ‘That would be the only reason I have agreed to bring my Doctor to an end - although it's not really an end, because Big Finish plucks stories from the whole era of every Doctor. But because I never actually filmed a regeneration, and left poor Sylvester floundering around in my empty clothing with a blond wig on, I have resolutely maintained the lie that I am still the Doctor and all the rest are imposters because I never regenerated!' (He laughs) 'So it's a tribute to the smooth talking people at Big Finish and the standard of the work completed thus far that I have cast aside my reluctance and joined all the other Doctors in actually having a regeneration. ‘And I can promise you: it's a cracker.'  will be released in a lavish book-sized box set that contains special photography, bespoke illustrations and behind the scenes interviews, as well as four hour-long episodes. The stories are connected by the presence of Michael Jayston as the Valeyard, the entity that exists between the Doctor's twelfth and thirteen incarnations. The Sixth Doctor won't be alone in battle though, as he'll be joined across the adventures by Constance (Miranda Raison), Charlotte Pollard (India Fisher), Flip (Lisa Greenwood) and Mel (Bonnie Langford), as well as those dedicated detectives, Jago & Litefoot (Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter, alongside Lisa Bowerman as Ellie Higson!) The saga opens with The End of the Line by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris, in which the Doctor and his latest companion Constance (Miranda Raison) investigate a commuter train that has lost its way… In The Red House by Alan Barnes, the Doctor and Charlotte Pollard (India Fisher) arrive on a world that is populated by werewolves. Stage Fright by Matt Fitton takes the Doctor and Flip (Lisa Greenwood) to Victorian London, where investigators Jago (Christopher Benjamin) and Litefoot (Trevor Baxter) explore theatrical performances that have echoes of the Doctor's past lives… Finally, time is running out in The Brink of Death by Nicholas Briggs, as the Doctor and Mel (Bonnie Langford) face the final confrontation with the Valeyard - and the Doctor must make the ultimate sacrifice. ‘It's been such a pleasure to work with Colin on these, giving him a whistle-stop tour of his era,” says Nick, who is also directing. “I felt privileged to write his final moments too. But the wonderful thing for us at Big Finish is that even though this is the end of the Sixth Doctor, we have the luxury of continuing to tell as many stories about him for as long as the BBC allow us. AND   UNIT - EXTINCTION 9 February 2015 Categories: ,  Big Finish is delighted to announce that Kate Stewart and her UNIT team from the Doctor Who TV series will be starring in a brand new series of audio dramas, in a licensing deal with BBC Worldwide. Kate is the daughter of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, and Head of Scientific Research at the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, which investigates and confronts alien attacks on the planet Earth. The role is portrayed by Jemma Redgrave (Dracula, Frankie, Cold Blood) who has appeared opposite Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi on television, and returns for the audio series. “We're thrilled that Jemma is on board for our brand new UNIT adventures,” says series producer David Richardson, “and we feel privileged to work within the universe of New Series Doctor Who for the first time.  will showcase all the excitement, drama and wit that viewers of Doctor Who love.” “Having worked with the greatly missed Nicholas Courtney and his magnificent portrayal of the Brigadier since the early days of Big Finish, it is wonderful to see the return of UNIT under the Brig's daughter,” says executive producer Jason Haigh-Ellery. “We are all very excited about bringing UNIT back to Big Finish with the next generation and look forward immensely to working with Jemma again, who appears in this month's  main range release .” “I'm really excited to hear Jemma and her team battling to save the Earth,” says executive producer Nick Briggs. “They've been such an important part of the many exciting things to come out of the Doctor Who TV series in recent years.” Additional cast members for the first box set, , will be revealed later. This first box set release comprises four hours of adventure, in which Kate and her team confront an alien invasion by the Nestene Consciousness and its army of plastic Autons.  will be released in November 2015, and is available for specially-priced pre-order, with all pre-orders getting a copy of Nicholas Courtney's memoirs  as a free download as Supplementary content in Big Finish accounts.

DOCTOR WHO TIN DOG PODCAST REVIEWS  Prologue [] "She Said, He Said" is a  to the episode, in which the Doctor and Clara each have a monologue about how little they know about each other and that they discovered each other's secret at Trenzalore. It was released on 11 May 2013 on  and on-line. Viewers using Red Button were able to access the prequel between 7:40 until midnight every evening, until "The Name of the Doctor" aired on 18 May 2013. Episode [] The  (Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint and Commander Strax) are given information concerning the Doctor by a man convicted of multiple murders in 1893, who speaks to himself in rhyme about "Whisper Men". They use  drugs to bring themselves, , and Clara Oswald across space and time to a dream realm as a sort of "conference call". Vastra repeats the man's words: "It is a secret he will take to the grave--and it is discovered," and reiterates the prophecy about the Doctor's name on the planet Trenzalore (""), as well as showing the planet's coordinates. During their conference, strange faceless humanoids called Whisper Men attack the gang and appear to kill Jenny in her trance. River shocks the others to wake them out of the dream to save themselves. Clara awakes in contemporary London to find the Doctor visiting her for their weekly outing. Clara retells the events from the conference call, and the Doctor, deeply shocked, decides he must go to Trenzalore to save his friends, even though visiting the location of his own grave is dangerous for a time traveller. The TARDIS resists the Doctor's efforts to pilot the machine, but they eventually arrive after a crash landing at Trenzalore. The planet is covered with tombstones, the result of a great war according to the Doctor, while a future version of the TARDIS, having deteriorated and grown to enormous size due to its failing transdimensional circuits, stands above the graveyard. The duo are attacked by Whisper Men. River, still telepathically linked to Clara but apparently unseen by the Doctor, helps direct the two to an escape route - disguised as her own grave - that leads to the giant TARDIS. River also reveals that she died saving the Doctor, and is now only the echo saved by him (in the episode ""). Meanwhile, Vastra and Strax awaken by the structure, and Strax revives the comatose Jenny. The three are surrounded by Whisper Men and meet their controller, the  in the form of Dr Simeon's body (""). The Doctor and Clara arrive at the TARDIS, and the Great Intelligence threatens to kill the Doctor's allies unless he says his true name to open the TARDIS doors. The Doctor refuses but River, still only visible to Clara, says the Doctor's name (unheard by the viewer) and opens the doors. Inside, a pulsating column of light representing the Doctor's traversal of time and space sits where the console would be. Crossing his own time stream sends the Doctor into convulsions. The Great Intelligence sees the light as a wound in the fabric of space-time and enters it in order to undo the Doctor's past as revenge for all the defeats it's been dealt; though this will kill it, the Doctor will be "destroyed." The Great Intelligence and its Whisper Men disappear, and Vastra finds the stars above are going out. Jenny too disappears, followed by Strax after he forgets his association with Vastra. Clara, who has had recollections of the erased timeline from "" due to the telepathic link with the TARDIS, realises that she has helped the Doctor in other places in time and space ("", "The Snowmen"). She decides to enter the column of light to restore the Doctor's timeline by helping to undo all the damage the Great Intelligence tries to do. The Doctor and River try to stop her, but she calls back "Run, you clever boy--and remember me" before disappearing into the light. Clara is seen falling through space-time and appearing throughout the Doctor's past incarnations. She now considers this the end of the "impossible girl." The Doctor, Jenny, Strax, and the universe are restored to normal. The Doctor prepares to enter the column to save Clara, instructing the others to get away in the TARDIS in case he fails to return, but River yells at him to stop, as it is perilous for him to enter his own time stream. The Doctor finally reveals that he could hear, see and even touch her all along but did not acknowledge it because it was too painful. They share a kiss, and River asks him for a goodbye spoken as if they will see each other again, which the Doctor grants her. After River disappears, the Doctor enters the column of light. Clara lands in a misty place and sees flashes of the various incarnations of the Doctor pass by her. Unseen, the Doctor calls out to her, telling her that she is caught in his timeline which is now collapsing on itself. He provides her with the leaf that was responsible for her existence ("") to guide her to him. After their reunion, Clara spots another figure in the shadows which she does not recognise from the Doctor's past. The Doctor reveals that this is another incarnation of himself, but not "The Doctor," explaining that his chosen name is a promise he made to himself, and that this incarnation is his secret: he is "the one who broke the promise." As Clara falls unconscious from exhaustion, the stranger defends himself, stating that his actions were done "in the name of peace and sanity", to which the Doctor replies angrily: "But not in the name of the Doctor!" As he leaves, carrying Clara, the figure () turns to look at them and the screen credits identify him as "The Doctor". Continuity [] Imagery of all the Doctor's prior incarnations is used during scenes in which Clara and the Great Intelligence interact with the Doctor. Archive footage of the  (colourised, from ), ,  (both from ),  (), () and  () Doctors is utilised, with doubles used for some other brief appearances (including all the other Doctors) during the final scenes. The opening scene also includes a representation of  and reference to the Doctor's original exodus from  (as a globed city, previously seen in "", and later seen destroyed in ), with Clara directing him to steal the Type 40 TARDIS as it would be much more of an adventure. Audio of the First (from ), Second (from ), Third (from ), Fourth (from ),  (from ),  (from ),  (from "") and  (from "") Doctors is also heard. The Great Intelligence says that the Doctor has been cruel several times, telling about the leader of the Sycorax, whom the  kills in "" (2005), Solomon the merchant, whom the Eleventh Doctor sent to his death in "" (2012), the  and the . The Great Intelligence also states that the Doctor will be known as the before the end of his life. The Valeyard appears in the 1986 serial , where he is described as an amalgamation of the darker sides of the Doctor's nature, somewhere between his twelfth and final incarnation. He also mentions the Doctor will be called the Storm - one of the names the Daleks have for the Doctor is the Oncoming Storm. He also mentions that The Doctor will be referred to as the beast. The reason for this is unclear. Vastra mentions the Doctor dying on Androzani. This is a reference to  in which the  regenerates. Production [] Lead writer  stated that he wanted to have a new monster in the finale, after the series had seen the reappearance of old monsters such as the , Weeping Angels,  and the . The idea of the Whisper Men came from "the thought of stylish whispering almost faceless creatures" which seemed frightening and appropriate for "an episode that looks forward and back". Broadcast and reception [] Leak [] On 12 May 2013, a week before the official premiere of "The Name of The Doctor", it was announced that a small number of Doctor Who fans in the  had received their  box set of the second half of the  early due to a production error, and asked for those who had received the final episode early not to spoil it for other fans. Ratings [] "The Name of the Doctor" received overnight ratings of 5.46 million viewers on the BBC. Critical reception [] This section requires . (May 2013) The episode received positive reviews. Mark Snow of  gave the episode 9.1/10, praising the final conversation between the Doctor and River Song, as well as the revelation about Clara, however he noted that the Great Intelligence was "a little underwhelming" and "not very threatening", and that while the Whispermen impressed initially, they did not "[make] a great villain." Michael Hogan of  said that the episode was "even better" than the previous two. He noted that it was "momentous, moving and thrilling". However, he also noted that the episode had "a tad too much clunking exposition, the odd spot of creaky CGI and some unconvincing metaphors about soufflés and leaves." Despite this, he called it a "breathless, brilliant finale". References []  . . 19 April 2013. Retrieved 19 April 2013.  . 26 March 2013. ^   . BBC. 27 April 2013.

The Randomiser didn't exactly come up trumps in episode 2 with its choice of season 23. How did Will and Matthew cope with that experience? Did they survive the catharsis of spurious morality? And which year will the devious device pick out for them next...?

The Doctor states that many of the passengers and crew will not survive the journey to Earth, for "[someone determined to] protect a secret hidden on the space liner... will become a murderer."''Continuity The new companion "Mel" is introduced without the typical "meeting" story, as this evidence is supposed to take place in the Doctor's future, after he has already met Mel.Despite references to them having met before, the Doctor has never been shown to meet Commodore Travers on screen before this.

Hammond's story outline, titled Paradise Five, was liked by script editor Eric Saward but disliked by producer John Nathan-Turner, who rejected it and commissioned Pip and Jane Baker to do the segment instead. Hammond later wrote two episodes of the Doctor Who drama, . Designed as a typical set on a space liner, the actual structure of the story (and its bubbly tone) are reminiscent of the series during Douglas Adams' tenure as script editor, during season seventeen. In the first episode, Professor Lasky is briefly seen reading a copy of Christie's . Production The Vervoids bear a strong resemblance to the , a common template for alien creatures.[] Post-production This serial marked the last time the provided a music score for the series. As no individual title was used onscreen or on the final scripts for this story, there has been some confusion over how to refer to the story. It was initially commissioned with the title of The Ultimate Foe. However this title was later given to the novelisation of the 13th and 14th parts of the season. Writers Pip and Jane Baker repeatedly referred to the story as The Vervoids in subsequent interviews, as have other production team members, but this title does not appear to exist on any contemporary documentation. When published Pip and Jane Baker's novelisation, it was under the title of Terror of the Vervoids, which is now generally used to refer to the story (see and ). Commercial releases In October 1993, this story was released on as part of the three-tape The Trial of a Time Lord set.It is also due for DVD release on September 29th2008, similarly packaged with the other stories in The Trial of a Time Lord season. Special Features include: deleted and extended scenes • "The Making of a Trial of a Time Lord - Part Three - Terror of Vervoids" • "Now Get Out of That - Doctor Who Cliffhangers" (a 28-minute feature) • "The Lost Season" (an 11-minute feature) • Saturday Picture Show archival television footage • photo gallery • and trails and continuities. The Ultimate Foe is the generally accepted title for a in the series , which was first broadcast in two weekly parts from to , . It is part of the larger narrative known as , encompassing the whole of the 23rd season. This segment is also cited in some reference works under its working title of Time Incorporated (or Time Inc.). This was the last regular story to feature as the .Continuity Thanks to the paradoxes of time travel, since Mel is from the Doctor's future, she has already met him, but from the Doctor's perspective he is meeting her for the first time. Most media, including the novelisation by the Bakers, have assumed that the Doctor, at the end of the trial, takes Mel back to her proper place in time and eventually travels to her relative past to meet Mel for the first time from her perspective. That meeting, never seen on screen, is related in the novel by and also in his audio story He Jests at Scars, which provides a semi-sequel to this TV story. In the new series episode , a Magnetron (possibly salvaged during The Time War) is used to move a number of planets to another spot in the universe. Since then, the technology appears to have been modified and/or improved as the planets apparently just teleport rather than being "thrown". [] The Doctor This was the last story to feature Colin Baker as the current Doctor. Baker was fired by the BBC and John Nathan Turner was ordered, reportedly by , to recast the lead part for the following season. Baker was offered the chance to appear as the Doctor in all four episodes of the first story of Season 24, but he declined this and the invitation to return for the traditional sequence in . Due to Colin Baker's dismissal from the role, it would turn out that the 's last lines on screen were "Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice!" Although The Ultimate Foe was his last regular appearance as the Doctor on screen, the last story that Baker actually recorded was . Baker would reprise the role on stage, in 1989's , and on screen in the 1993 charity special , as well as various audio adventures for . [] Final appearances This marked the last appearance to date of the , apart from a brief flashback in "." Coincidentally, (The Keeper of the Matrix) had appeared in (albeit in a different role), which was the first serial to feature the Time Lords. The Valeyard has not re-appeared in the television series. His sole appearance in the audios has been the (and therefore outside of established continuity) , where Michael Jayston reprises the role. The character has been featured (usually in dream sequences or metaphors) in the and book ranges from Virgin Publishing and the from the BBC, however none of these appearances conclusively reveals his origins. The forthcoming unofficial novel , the late 's final novel completed by his friend Chris McKeon, will see the return of the Valeyard and his origins revealed.

Unfortunately, he died from a chronic liver ailment after completing a draft of the first and left nothing beyond a plot outline of the second. The series Script Editor resigned around this time due to disagreements with the producer, John Nathan-Turner, but agreed to write the final episode based on Holmes' outline, and also rewrite Holmes' draft to tie the two together, for which he was credited as Script Editor. The original ending to this segment (and, indeed, the whole Trial story and possibly the series) would have seen the Doctor and the Valeyard in an inconclusive , both (seemingly) plunging into a void to their deaths as an extra "hook". However, Nathan-Turner felt this was too downbeat and believed that it was important that the season did not end on an inconclusive note since it was important after the hiatus to prove the series was back in business. Saward refused to change the ending and withdrew permission to use his script very late in the day, by which point the production team had been assembled and the segment was entering rehearsals. John Nathan-Turner commissioned Pip and Jane Baker to write a replacement final episode. For copyright reasons they could not be told anything of the content of Saward's script (and there were lawyers observing all commissioning meetings). The only similarity between the two is the announcement that the High Council of the Time Lords have resigned, which was a natural development of the earlier scripts. The new script ended on an optimistic note, with the Doctor departing for new adventures. In keeping with this more optimistic stance, Nathan-Turner decided to amend the script at the last minute to show how had not died as shown in but in fact, became Yrcanos's queen. Her "death" was merely a part of the 's tampering with the , with a shot from the earlier story used to show this. was disappointed to learn how the fate of her character had been changed. Ultimately, the works of are evident in the story: the fictional landscape in the Matrix resembles Britain, and the character (and name) of Mr. Popplewick are strongly Dickensian. The Doctor also quotes the final two lines of , prompting Mel to chide him: "Never mind the heroics!" The working title of this story was Time Incorporated. However, this title did not appear in the final scripts or on-screen. Steampunk is a subgenre of and that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in —but with prominent elements of either or , such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of and , or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain -style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as or ; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or a presumption of functionality. Steampunk is often associated with and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely. Various modern utilitarian objects have been by individual craftpersons into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk.

Synopsis Following on from , the Valeyard and the argue about the Doctor's involvement in those events. The warns them both to pay due respect to the judicial process. The Valeyard proceeds to present his second block of evidence - the Doctor's arrival on the planet Thoros Beta. The arrives on the planet, where the Doctor shows a weapon given to him by the "Warlord of Thordon", made on Thoros Beta. He states that has come to find out how the warlords obtained such technology. They enter a cave, where Peri is grabbed by a large monstrous creature, which during a struggle the Doctor shoots with the gun. The Valeyard accuses the Doctor of deliberately shooting the monster, but he replies that the weapon went off accidentally. A figure arrives and accuses the Doctor and Peri of murdering the , despite their protestations that it attacked them first. The figure asks if they are part of 's group, and the Doctor says that he is. They flee before they can be identified as imposters, but are quickly faced by another monster, but it reacts kindly when the Doctor is nice to it. They are forced to flee further, and as they hide they see three reptilian figures being carried along by guards, the third of the figures is shown to be their old enemy . The Doctor realises that Sil is probably behind the arms sales, and informs Peri that Thoros Beta is the home world of Sil's race, the . In Crozier's laboratory, King Yrcanos is being experimented on, and the Doctor and Peri sneak inside. As the Doctor sabotages some of Kiv's equipment, Sil arrives in the laboratory. The Doctor is strapped to a table, and Crozier applies a metal helmet to his head. Crozier states that the equipment to extract the truth from a suspect, and that technique could prove fatal. He starts to probe the Doctor's mind, but Yrcanos awakes and destroys the equipment. Overpowering the guards he departs the laboratory, followed by a stunned Doctor and Peri. Yrcanos outlines his plans to attack the Mentors. The Doctor says he would enjoy that, and then collapses. The Doctor tells the Inquisitor that he cannot remember these events. The Valeyard tells him he is in for a surprise if this is true. Yrcanos, the Doctor and Peri go to where new slaves are brought into the base. Yrcanos plans to attack the guards and steal their weapons, but as he sneaks into the room, the Doctor calls out to the guards, giving him away. Yrcanos, unable to fight the guards, flees. Peri points a weapon at Sil, and asks the Doctor for help, but he ignores her. Peri drops the weapon and flees after Yrcanos. Sil asks the Doctor why he helped the Mentors, and he replies that the odds were on their side. The Doctor insists that the footage is not of him, but the Valeyard tells him that the Matrix cannot lie. Peri comes across Matrona, who allows her to join the Mentors' servants rather than turn her over to the guards. Covered with a veil, she enters the Commerce Room with Kiv's medication. The Doctor calls to her to get him a drink, so she disguises her voice to avoid being recognised. When she brings him a new drink, the Doctor uncovers her and denounces her as an enemy to the Mentors. The Doctor tells the Courtroom that what they are seeing is all part of his ploy. He says he planned to gain the Mentors' trust so that he would be allowed to interrogate her alone, giving them a chance to escape. Peri is lashed to rocks on the shoreline and the Doctor stands over her, accusing of being a spy. She asks why he is behaving the way he is, and the Doctor tells her that Crozier is planning to put Kiv's brain into his body unless he can help them. Crozier stops the interegation, saying that they have more effective methods of extracting the truth from Peri. As they re-enter the complex, Yrcanos attacks the guard, and threatens to kill the Doctor. However, Peri smashes the gun from Yrcanos's hands allowing the Doctor to flee. In Crozier's laboratory, the scientist prepares to transplant Kiv's brain into a recently deceased Mentor corpse with the help of The Doctor. The operation proves successful. Meanwhile, Yrcanos, Peri and Dorf team up with members of the Alphan resistance. Agreeing to allow Yrcanos to lead them in an attack on the Mentors, they go to the resistance arms dump, but they are ambushed by Mentor guards and shot down. However, it is revealed they have merely been stunned, and they are taken to cells. In Crozier's laboratory, Lord Kiv is rambling due to the body of the fisherman influencing his brain. Crozier makes plans to transfer the brain into another more suitable body, and suggests using Peri. The Doctor says he would prefer that she is not experimented on, but while he is trying to find another candidate, Peri is brought to the laboratory, and strapped to the operating table. Crozier begins to prepare her for the surgery. The Doctor goes to Yrcanos's cell and tricks the guard allowing Yrcanos and Dorf to escape. Together they free the remaining resistance members. They head towards the control room from where all the slaves are mentally controlled and succeed in freeing the slaves from mental control, but Dorf is killed by a passing guard. Lord Kiv is taken to the laboratory to prepare for the operation. As the Doctor heads towards the lab, he is summoned by the Time Lords and promptly vanishes. The Inquisitor tells the Doctor this was the result of an order from the High Council, because the result of Crozier's experiment would affect all life in the Universe. As Yrcanos prepares his attack on the laboratory, the Time Lords capture him in a time bubble so that his attack is perfectly timed. When Kiv awakes in Peri's bald body, the time bubble dissipates and Yrcanos bursts into the laboratory. He is consumed with fury and begins firing his gun wildly. The Doctor is shocked by what he has seen. The Inquisitor and the Valeyard tell him that it was necessary to end Peri's life to prevent the disastrous consequences of Crozier's experiment. The Doctor insists that he was fetched out of time for some other reason, and he is going to find out what. Continuity Sil appeared in the previous season in the serial .It's often debated amongst fandom[] as to what exactly happens during this story. It is stated on screen that the Valeyard has somehow distorted events, and that the actual scenes are by and large presented correctly but merely that the Doctor's performance has been distorted to show him in the worst possible light to the court. Many such scenes are prevalent throughout the story, leading fandom to great confusion as it isn't entirely clear which bits are "real" and which were concocted by the Valeyard. There are several theories: That the events seen are the true events, but distorted to show the Doctor in the worst possible light. For example, his line 'Look out behind you' is shown on screen as the Doctor giving King Yrcanos away to some guards, whereas the "true" events might very well have been the Doctor warning him of an attacker sneaking up ('Look out, behind you!'). It's all in how the line is pronounced rather than what the line is.That the Doctor was fried by the "Mindwarp" machine, which is why he exhibits 'out of character' behaviour throughout the story. The event is shown on screen, but as to whether it really occurred or not is still an event of great contention.That the Doctor is pretending to have been twisted by the "Mindwarp" machine, whilst really seeking to find a way to put things right. In the courtroom the Doctor claims this is the case, though he is at this stage unable to recall events. The Doctor meets Peri again in two spin off stories. She features in the novel by . A post-Mindwarp hallucination of Peri appears in the play . The relationship of spin off media to the television series is open to interpretation by the individual.

The Mysterious Planet is a in the series , which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from to , . It is part of the larger narrative known as , encompassing the whole of the 23rd season.Plot Synopsis The materialises in a corridor, and the steps out bewildered and alone. He walks into a room, where it is revealed that he is being put on trial for conduct unbecoming a Time Lord. The notes that the Doctor , and the Valeyard states that he will argue that the Doctor was shown too much leniency on that occasion. The Valeyard opens the case by using the to show the Doctor's involvement on the planet Ravolox. The Doctor and arrive on Ravolox, which is virtually identical to . He tells Peri that the official records state that the planet was devastated by a fireball, but they note that the forest they are walking through suggests otherwise. They are seen by and Dibber, who attempt to shoot the Doctor; but he moves off just in time. Glitz and Dibber discuss their plan to destroy the "L3 robot" by sabotaging its light conversion system, which has been turned into a by a primitive tribe on the planet. The Doctor and Peri find an apparently abandoned building and explore it. Peri discovers a sign saying "" — a sign, which means that they are on Earth. Peri begins to mourn for her planet. The Doctor asks what the relevance of this is, then asks why Peri is not with him on the station. The Valeyard answers that she is where the Doctor left her, and states that the Doctor's evident temporary amnesia - a side-effect of being taken out of time - should soon pass. The Doctor goes into the complex alone because Peri is upset, but she is captured by two masked figures. Meanwhile, Glitz and Dibber are brought before Katryca, Queen of the tribe. Glitz claims that the totem attracted the fireball that devastated Ravolox, and asks for it to be taken down. The Queen tells him that others have asked for the totem to be dismantled, and none have succeeded. Glitz and Dibber draw out their guns, but they are overpowered and locked up. The Doctor finds an underground complex, but is caught. He is accused of spying, and sentenced to be stoned. The Doctor tries to block the rocks with his umbrella, but is knocked unconscious. The Valeyard proposes that the inquiry into the Doctor's activities should become a full blown trial, with the penalty being the termination of his life. Other officials arrive and break up the stoning. The Doctor is still breathing, but before he can be killed, Merdeen receives a message from the Immortal stating that he wishes to question the Doctor. The Immortal, revealed to be a huge humanoid robot, commands its two assistants to release the service robot. Peri is brought before Katryca, who informs Peri that as there are few women, she will need to take many husbands. She is then put in the same prison as Glitz and Dibber. They tell Peri their plan to destroy the Robot. They are taken back to Katryca, who tells them that Glitz will be sacrificed because of his attempt to destroy the great totem. The Doctor is taken to the Immortal, who introduces itself as Drathro. He commands that the Doctor work with the two assistants. The Doctor identifies the problem, and tries to leave in order to fix it, but Drathro does not allow him to leave, as his instructions were to maintain an underground system. The Doctor electrifies the robot and his assistants, and escapes. Drathro sends the service robot to track down the Doctor. Meanwhile, Peri, Glitz and Dibber overpower the guards and escape. Dibber remains behind to plant a bomb on the Black Light converter, whilst they go to the underground complex. In Marb Station, Merdeen tells Balazar that there has been no fire for hundreds of years, and that he should leave the complex. They encounter the Doctor, and Merdeen implores him to help Balazar escape. Peri, Glitz and Dibber, pursued by tribesmen, find the Doctor, and they flee into the Marb Station, but are trapped between the tribe and the service robot. The tribesmen shoot at the service robot and disable it. The Doctor tries to re-enter the underground complex, but the tribesmen insist they all return to the village. There, The Doctor is brought before Katryca, but she is unimpressed with his explanation of the true nature of the Totem, and puts them all back in the prison cell. Glitz confirms that the planet is actually Earth. Drathro reactivates the service robot, and send it to the village. It breaks into the building with the Doctor, stuns him and takes him away. The tribesmen disable the service robot, and decide to attack the Immortal's castle to steal his technology. Peri rescues the Doctor from the service robot, and they set off to the underground complex to stop Katryca and disable the black light system. Katryca and tribesmen arrive at the Castle, where they are confronted by Drathro,. He electrocutes Katryca, and dismisses the rest of the tribe. The Doctor enters Drathro's domain, promising to help repair the black light system. However, he determines it to be beyond repair, and tells Drathro that he must shut down the Black Light System to prevent a massive explosion. Drathro refuses to allow that as it would mean its own destruction. The Doctor pleads with him, saying that the explosion could destroy the entire universe, but that only makes Drathro determined to allow what he thinks is a unique event. Balazar and Peri plead with Merdeen to help them, noting that he would die if the converter exploded. Glitz and Dibber arrive and follow them into the Castle through a food chute. Drathro attempts to kill by turning on the food processing system, but Dibber shoots him through the wall. Glitz tells Drathro that they have black light on their ship, and offers to take the robot to the Andromeda Galaxy. Drathro agrees, and leaves with Glitz and Dibber. The Doctor realises that the black light system has already begun to self-destruct, and that all he can do is prevent it starting a chain reaction. The system explodes, but the blast only destroys the Castle, and as a result Drathro collapses. The Doctor and Peri leave Merdeen and Balazar to take the remaining inhabitants to a new life on the surface. The Doctor announces to the court that he has saved the Universe, and starts to present his defence. The Valeyard warns the Doctor that he has more evidence to come, and that the Court will demand the Doctor's life at the end. Continuity The reason why Earth has become Ravalox, as well as the reasons for the Fireball, are explained in , the final part of the Season.The relationship between the Sixth Doctor and Peri is less abrasive in this story than in the previous season.
