THE KROTONS EMERGENT!

Now charged with enough crystalline energy absorption needed to reactivate both themselves and their massive ship, the two Kroton bio-robots are now planning the further enslavement, or destruction, of the weakened Gond populace that live in their thrall, in a memorable moment from The Krotons, the first repeated Patrick Troughton adventure (in 1981) on BBC TV since 1968!

OUT NOW FROM BBC PHYSICAL AUDIO: 'WHAT STILL REMAINS'

Caught in a Temporal Cycle Overrun, the TARDIS deposits the Seventh Doctor and Ace on a mysterious Earth space station precariously kept in place, by time manipulation, around an unusual neutron star. The station's meagre crew, the majority of whom have prior disappeared in mysterious circumstances still being investigated, hope to harness the unique powers of a mysterious object removed from the star that could ultimately help solve Earth's ongoing energy crisis. But there's more to this 'object' than meets the eye, as the Doctor soon discovers the shocking truth about its function and history. Can the building crisis around them be stopped before the annihilation factor begins?

Beware the Time Decay. Beware the shadow! 

Adam Christopher delivers a technobabble heavy but enjoyable space adventure story for the Seventh Doctor's era that is well told by the versatile fan favourite Sophie Aldred, who effectively brings out a fun Scottish burr in vocalising Sylvester McCoy's unique and enigmatic Time Lord.

FROM THE DEPTHS...

It's well known that there are all kinds of nasty things within the legendary London River Thames, but who could ever in their wildest dreams (or nightmares!) expect an iconic patrol Dalek emerging from its depths...

 A genuinely classic scene from The Dalek Invasion of Earth, which I'm sure excited audiences young and old enjoyed no end back in the day, hungry for their return phenomenon..

DESTINATION: SHANGRI-LA!

The era of Rock 'n Roll meets the Doctor and Mel as they travel with other aliens to a unique holiday destination experience. All goes relatively well until the arrival of the brutal Gavrok and his Bannerman mercenaries, in pursuit of the mysterious fugitive, the Chimeron Queen, in the popular and nostalgic three-parter Delta and the Bannerman. Personally, I prefer the intriguing original title for the story: Flight of the Chimeron.

Great Lee Johnson art composition for Doctor Who - The Complete History.

'THE TRIAL OF A TIME LORD' AT 40: THE MYSTERIOUS PLANET!

Within the strange environs of Marb Station, on the planet whose strange underground inhabitants refer to it as 'UK Habitat', the Doctor faces a brutal stoning for accidently traversing the human's cultural water conservation. Luckily, his umbrella saves the day for our colourful hero, from the colony's most-eager-to-kill residents. 

The late Robert Holmes scripts for episodes 1-4 of The Trial of A Time Lord may have taken an undeserved structural battering from the idiots of the BBC's then Sixth Floor, but the story's intriguing and quirky opening episode was nonetheless a triumph and warmly received by critics and viewers on its original transmission.

MYRKA MAYHEM!

The Sea Devils and Silurians have begin their attack on the troubled Sea Base Four of 2084, firstly by unleashing the aquatic terror they possess that is the Myrka, of which The Doctor and an injured Tegan are now isolated and trapped in its fierce company, during the Part Two cliffhanger to Warriors of the Deep.

"That thing's gonna kill us!"

The rushed to production story, and its 'pantomime horse' operated creature (which I originally thought looked good in close-up and some front side shots), proved a disappointment to many fans on its original transmission, and was most likely the story that initiated the ever malignant Michael Grade into wanting to cancel the show for good beyond 1985. Now, with the remastered, re-edited story as part of The Collection - Season 21 Blu-ray set, with its now more fearsome Myrka, we hope fans minds are more positively directed towards the story. And we hope Michael Grade has received a viewing copy too!

The all-new fearsome Mykra of the Warriors of the Deep - Special Edition, from 2026.

Great work by Chris Stephens Creations and the BBC team.
