Time Lord Victorious


Comic: Defender Of The Daleks


As with the Monstrous Beauty comic, I didn’t buy this at the time, so again I’m viewing some rather well done YouTube videos.


The Tenth Doctor wakes up on the TARDIS floor with a bit of amnesia, outside are the Daleks. Not wanting to g to hang a round he quickly dematerialises, however when he lands the Daleks are present -its not really his day, what’s worse is that wherever and whenever he lands the Daleks are always there. With the daleks having no memory of the Time War, there’s a paradox going on…


The story is interesting enough, avoiding the Daleks, giving in and working with them, a monster is introduced etc.  There is some background info on the Dalek strategist and why its still in its old battered casing. One of the things I can say about the various parts of the TLV series is that certain details are explained. Making each part have a place in the whole.


It was a bit unclear as to why this was a paradox, possibly its part of a another story in the comic range that, in not being a reader of them, I’ve missed. The Doctor making everything right with virtually a simple wave of the sonic is a little unsatisfying. 


Slight spoile,r but the 13 Doctor turns up here briefly, with the Reality War only a couple of weeks ago, where she did the same thing, its almost as if they stole the idea. But as with that its a nice bonus.


The Hond turn up in this story, these are from the Dark times. Also the entity from the Daleks! Webcast was a slave of the Hond. The Eaglemoss short story The Restoration Empire, goes into more detail and helps to explain the bigger arc, that the Daleks need the Doctor go go back to the Dark Times. Failing to keep the Tenth Doctor, this ends with them considering an earlier version, that being the Eighth, which leads nicely into the Audios.


A good story.

The Last Days of the Powell Estate The Ninth Doctor Adventures 4.2 The Doctor and Rose find themselves in the future, 2036 , to be exact. Though, when Rose discovers that the run down, derelict building they’ve arrived at is what left of the Powell estate , she starts to worry about her mother… It feels like quite a wait since the last episode. I’m not one for binge listening, but with Chris and Billie back together, you just want more. They meet a guy doing a video about strange places who tells the Doctor and Rose about an entity dubbed ‘ Mr Fingers ’. People feel a hand on their shoulder but when they turn round no ones there, feel it twice and you’re gone. The idea would make quite a nice horror film. It has the ingredients, the empty building, the sense of something unreal, people disappearing. The fact that once there felt the hand, if they turn around next time, they’re a goner.  The entity exists both in Roses time and the future, so we get Jackie and her friend in 2006...

The Skeleton Quay                        Jago and Litefoot 6.1                                 Jago and Litefoot arrive back in their own time and are immediately accosted. The Queen needs their services. Ghosts are seen at a village lost to the sea. So if you didn’t know or had forgot, J&L spent the last series in the 1960’s. Here they are back where they belong, but we don’t get to catch up with Ellie , Sgt Quick etc. As they're off straight away. So the village of Shingle cove was washed away by the sea during a storm, but something would seem to be amiss as J&L start to see ghosts and visions of how the village was, and someone is out to stop them. Its does fall into that trope of small town by the sea, 73 yards does it, the Stuff of Legend also. Not that its necessarily a bad thing, but it sets the tone for the episode. The sea, cli...

Doctor Who : The Lost Stories  8.2 - DeathWorld When this came up as a deal/discount along with Operation Werewolf it was too hard to turn down. I’ve enjoyed Tim Treloars 3rd Doctor and likewise Micheal Troughton’s 2nd. These two Doctors work well with each other so its great to have more. This was the idea that later evolved into the Three Doctors. With Frazer Hines unavailable and William Hartnell too ill to take part fully this is a chance to experience what could have been. Each of the first three doctors are facing their own problems, when they come together on Deathworld, the enemy? Death themself.  Katy Manning and Frazer Hines are the only original cast members playing Jo and Jamie. It is a little odd with the rest being played by new people. For me its Stephen Noonan who I’ve not really got to know. No-one has ever really ‘got’ the first Doctor, they seem to forget his nice side. Stephen’s version isn’t quite there, he does have some of the mannerisms, whether he’ll g...
