Howdy all and welcome back to Day 3 of Doctor’s Regeneration
Week and once again we will bounce through the years in a completely different
direction as we take a look at the end of the 8 years of Tom Baker’s standing
as the Doctor. So let’s take a glance at
Dr. Who: Castrovalva.
Hmm not as much fun as the how to book claimed it to be. |
The Doctor: I am the
Doctor or rather I will be if this spoiler works out.
After averting all entropy of the known universe and
jumpstarting existence with the equivalent of the big bang, thwarting the
Master’s plans and plummeting almost 600 feet to the ground all looked lost for
the Doctor (Tom Baker of Doctor Who, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Black-Adder II,
The Silver Chair, Selling Hitler, Cluedo, Medics and Dungeons & Dragons)
when his on growing crew of the TARDIS comes to his aid, finding it is over for
him in this life and regenerates in front of their eyes and they are astounded
as this particular capability was not mentioned to them.
Performance over the top?? There is NO SUCH THING! |
The young lad Adric (Matthew Waterhouse of To Serve Them All My
Days, Doctor Who and The Killing Edge) a mathematical genius hailing
from the planet Alazarius in a parallel univers of E-Space. Tegan (Janet Fielding of Hammer House of Horror,
Shelley, Minder, Doctor Who and Hold the Back Page) an aspiring flight
attendant of Air Australia and lastly Nyssa (Sarah Sutton of Alice Through the
Looking Glass, Late Call, The Moon Stallion, The Crucible, Doctor Who and
Unnatural Pursuits) daughter of the consul of the Traken Union whose
father’s life force was abducted by the Master as a means to regenerate
himself.
In his act of rebelling over his previous life the Doctor (Peter
Davison of The Tomorrow People, Love for Lydia, The Hitch Hikers Guide to the
Galaxy, At Home with the Braithwaites, Distant Shores, and Law & Order: UK)
ransacks the old wardrobe closet for something appropriate to match the new
him. Mentally he needs time to cope with
his new parameters that is his body.
After a near stroke from previous lives, insurmountable information on
technology, cultures and languages, the Doctor feels it best to relax his mind
in the Zero Room a healing chamber allowing him recovery time while all three
of the companions attempt to pilot the TARDIS but find that they are travelling
at a rapid rate to a time and destination known only as Event One.
Trapped by the
diabolical Master in what will be the Big Bang, Tegan and Nyssa scoop up the
Doctor from his healing trance in order to get the TARDIS operating at a normal
speed through time and space. The usage
of the word normal in that sentence was one previously uncharted. Unfortunately in his haste to make the
TARDIS transverse normally he had to eject
¼ of the TARDIS to reduce mass and speed and regrettably the Zero Room
was in that ¼ ejected.
Honestly though, 15 corridors just to get to the bathroom. |
Tegan goes
through the star charts to find a subtle planet for the Doctor to rest on and
they make their way to the Dwellings of Simplicity on Castrovalva. But the girls realize that Adric has been
missing for some time, the world they have landed on is straight out of a M.C.
Esher and they may all be in great danger.
