He'll soon find his arms, his legs, his everythings for that matter, under attack by the hideous green-eyed Mandrels in the captured Eden segment of Professor Tryst's abhorrent CET machine. Until then, there's a chance for a little bit of exploration for the Doctor and Romana on that mysterious world, in this great image from the rather cheap-looking but ideas-packed adventure of unique drug shipments and ship collisions from Season Seventeen, Nightmare of Eden.
And 'ideas-packed' was certainly the mantra from that 1979/80 season's witty and in-demand story editor, and creator of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Douglas Adams, who'd also contribute the busy and enigmatically-aborted Shada by year's end. Of 2019, one of Adams' unmade but must-read WHO adventures for the Doctor and Romana becomes available in UK paperback, Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen, a tale of xenophobic aliens out for revenge on the galaxy, linked to the most important cricket bowl in history. It's all adapted with evocative and appropriate joie de vivre by James Goss for BBC BOOKS.
