Doctor's Regeneration Week: Spearhead in Space

Welcome to the later day of the Doctor’s Regeneration Week and this time around I thought we would take a look at that Jon Pertwee fellow for the time being. The Timelords are merciful as much as they can be cruel and now and then they must administer justice.  So grab your sonic screwdriver, prep flight and dimension coordinates for the journey.  This is Dr. Who: Spearhead in Space.

 

Yes it is an improvement.

Lethbridge-Stewart: In the last decade, we’ve been sending probes deeper and deeper into spoiler.  We’ve drawn attention to ourselves, Miss Shaw.

Towards the end of his trial with the Timelords, War Lord protested his guilt of his war games and noted that the Doctor interfered in the progression of their life, with a further accusation of the Doctor assisting me directly.   The Doctor (Patrick Troughton of Doctor Who, The Two of Us, Yesterday’s Dreams and Knights of God) denies everything and claims to never break the sacred oath of non-interference to other planets and different races.  Directly after the War Lord’s trial, the Doctor finds himself on the hot plate of justice and boy howdy it burns.  The Timelords choose to strip him of the knowledge of traveling through time and space and regenerate him into a form that is blissfully unaware of the full use of the TARDIS.  

Kryten??

The Doctor (Jon Pertwee of Will Any Gentleman…?, Jackanory, Doctor Who, The House That Dripped Blood and The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Attack of the Hawkmen) falls in and out of consciousness in a local hospital in Oxley Woods at the same time UNIT is investigating a shower of bizarre meteorites.   They would not of even bother until a few people went missing in the area of Oxley Woods when the hospital reports a strange tall man that has no ID, has two hearts and does not seems to be human.

Brigadier Sewart (Nicholas Courtney of All Creatures Great and Small, To Catch a King, Doctor Who, Then Churchill Said to Me and The Sarah Jane Adventures) recruits Dr. Liz Shaw (Caroline John of Doctor Who, The Woman in Black, P.R.O.B.E.: The Devil of Winterborne, Love Actually and Doctors) to observe the meteorites and the Doctor is abducted by three plastic men with a shoot out with UNIT soldiers.  After that, the Doctor manages to acquire some clothes, some of his memories and gets hold of a buggy car to visit UNIT HQ to facilitate in the investigation knowing full well that UNIT is ill-prepared to the situation.

The Doctor explains to Dr. Shaw and the Brigadier that the meteorites are actually a living plastic known as the Nestine consciousness and how they plan to take out the planet for its toxics and chemicals.  The Brigadier is cautious to trust this man and realizes that he is indeed the Doctor regardless how much he has changed.  Organizing UNIT to do intelligence gathering on the local plastic companies to find out where the Nestine is held up at and stopping this impending invasion.

Blimey, England again??! *kicks TARDIS*
