Terror of the Vervoids: Part One

In 2986 AD, aboard the space liner Hyperion III, Doctor and Mel arrive responding to a distress call; communications officer Edwardes is found incapacitated, and the Hydroponics labs are hiding strange plant pods. The Doctor and Mel begin investigating missing pieces: “Demeter seeds” have been stolen, and someone deep in the ship is trying to keep secrets. Suspicion mounts when a passenger whose identity seems familiar dies under strange circumstances.

Terror of the Vervoids: Part Two

More people disappear or are killed; the plant pods have been tampered with and the Vervoids—sentient plant creatures—are unleashed. Mel gathers clues via the hydroponics centre; the Doctor uncovers evidence of sabotage among the scientists Bruchner, Doland, and Professor Lasky. Alongside the plant threat, tensions rise among the native species aboard the ship (the Mogarians), and the threat becomes existential: the Vervoids intend to eliminate animal life for their own survival.

Terror of the Vervoids: Part Three

The Doctor and Mel strive to find a solution as the Vervoids rampage. Ruth Baxter, once human, is revealed to be partially transformed by the Vervoid biology. Lasky attempts negotiation but is betrayed; the Vervoids claim to have no alternative but to kill—or be killed. On top of that, mutinous activity among the crew and alien collaborators threatens the ship. The Doctor works toward a radical plan involving rare metal vionesium.

With the Vervoids’ threat fully unleashed, the Doctor uses vionesium to force the plants into their natural death cycle under light and oxygen.

The Doctor and Mel depart in the TARDIS, leaving a ship badly shaken but saved—and the moral cost of extinguishing a sentient species unspoken in this version.

Time and the Rani: Part Two Extended Edition

Still suffering from amnesia and deception, the Doctor is manipulated by the disguised Rani—forced to fix her machine without knowing its purpose. Mel and Ikona attempt to uncover more of the Rani’s plot, navigate through traps, and rescue local allies. The true nature of the machine begins to come to light: kidnapped geniuses, strange matter, and a time-manipulating brain.

Time and the Rani: Part Three Extended Edition

Mel is captured; the Doctor is drawn deeper into the Rani’s scheme as he comes to distrust the false “Mel.” He discovers the Rani’s fixed-trajectory rocket aimed at a strange-matter asteroid.

An Adventure in Space and Time

This special one-off drama travels back in time to 1963 to see how Doctor Who was first brought to the screen. Actor William Hartnell felt trapped by a succession of hard-man roles. Wannabe producer Verity Lambert was frustrated by the TV industry's glass ceiling. Both of them were to find unlikely hope and unexpected challenges in the form of a Saturday tea-time drama. Allied with a team of unusual but brilliant people, they went on to create the longest running science fiction series ever made.

Carry On Screaming

Behind-the-scenes personnel discuss the making of the first ever Doctor Who animation. With executive producer Martin Trickey, producers Muirinn Lane Kelly and Jelena Djordjevic, animation director Jon Doyle, writer Paul Cornell and researcher Daniel Judd. Presented by James Goss, one of the story's executive producers.

The William Hartnell Era

In this part, the era of the First Doctor, William Hartnell, is considered. We take a look at TV production in the sixties, and how Doctor Who came to be made before looking in depth at two of my favourite stories of this era.

The Patrick Troughton Era

In this part, the era of the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, is considered. We take a look how the decision to recast the lead was made, and how social concerns influenced the development of a key enemy, before looking in depth at two of what I consider standout stories from this era.

The Jon Pertwee Era

In this part, the era of the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, is considered. We explore how Doctor Who had to change to meet the demands of seventies' television and how it grew to more overtly reflect social and ecological concerns, before looking, in depth, at select stories from this era.

The Tom Baker Era

In this part, the era of the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, is considered. We explore the 'Golden Era' of Doctor Who, looking at how the show developed into a far darker and scarier version, influenced by the Gothic Horror genre, and the resultant backlash from self-appointed 'moral guardians'. We also consider the economic troubles of the late seventies and their effect on the show before its regeneration just in time for the eighties. Along the way, three stand out stories are looked at in depth with plenty of clips from the full seven-year Baker tenure!

The Peter Davison Era

In this part, the era of the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, is considered. We explore how the television landscape changed as the show entered the eighties and how changes to the format ensured a renewed interest. Two stand-out stories are looked at in detail and we take a look at how the show celebrated its twentieth anniversary before preparing itself for an even more radical change.

The Colin Baker Era

In this part, the era of the Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker, is considered. We take a look at how Peter Davison's departure spurred John Nathan-Turner to gamble with the creation of an incarnation wildly different from what went before. We consider how social hysteria informed one of the stand-out stories of the era before moving on to look at how the show came under fire from an executive who had no love for science-fiction.

The Sylvester McCoy Era

In this part, the era of the Seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, is considered. We look at how producer, John Nathan-Turner, was forced to undertake the unpleasant task of replacing the lead and how he came to choose the eccentric McCoy for the role. The pressure of TV execs and protest groups to tone down the show's violent excesses and how this led to a rather tame and camp version of what went before is looked at before we consider how the show finally regained its stride, producing some of the best ever episodes before its untimely demise.

The Wilderness Years & The Paul McGann Era

In this part, the fourteen-year period following the cancellation of Classic Doctor Who is examined. We look at how the Doctor Who mythos refused to die and how it continued in novel and comic forms whilst various production companies tried their utmost to take control of the show's future on the small and silver screens. We glimpse at the horror that was 'Dimensions in Time' before taking a comprehensive and detailed look at the long-gestating TV Movie starring Paul McGann, how it ultimately failed to reboot the show, and what came next...

Chronicle: The Realms of Gold

John Julius Norwich's 1969 retelling of the story of the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the Aztecs. Hernan Cortes was the first and greatest of the Conquistadors of New Spain. His confrontation with Montezuma and the empire of the Aztecs in Mexico in 1519 was the moment when for the very first time, in all their power and might, the Old World and the New stood face to face. Cortes's achievement was extraordinary - no less than the defeat of an entire civilisation with only 400 soldiers at his command. But his victory would have been impossible but for one incredible fact - Montezuma believed that Cortes was his God, the Feathered Serpent Quetzalcoatl. John Julius Norwich recounts the extraordinary interplay of mythology and mounted warfare, of human sacrifice and brilliant strategy which led ultimately to the creation of Mexico.

Devious

The Second Doctor has been partially regenerated by the Time Lords as punishment for breaking the non-interference policy, but the process is stopped halfway, leaving the Doctor an amalgam of his second and as-of-yet future incarnation. The Doctor is sent on a mission which involves battling Daleks, where he sees many people die. Afterwards, he is sent to a void by a pair of Time Lords, where he finds his TARDIS. Inside he tries to leave, but finds the ship not working. He is suddenly granted by an old man in a suit, who reveals himself to be the Third Doctor — the man who the Doctor was meant to turn into. The Doctor prepares himself for the rest of his regeneration, and collapses in a chair. There, he completes his transformation. Awakening, he is greeted by one of the Time Lords on the TARDIS' viewing screen, who wipes the Doctor's mind of his knowledge of time travel and sends the TARDIS to Earth. There, the Doctor exits the TARDIS and collapses outside.
