Sunday adventure hook: The Turret

In honour of the beginning of DALEKS!:

The Turret

One of the most important battles of Genghis Khan’s war with the Jin Dynasty, seemingly about to be lost due to a man-sized armoured turret armed with some kind of flame weapon.

Why is a Dalek trying to change history?

“This city will create such glorious destruction if it prospers. I would see that!”

“So you’re derailing history for an entire continent because you like fireworks?”

Time Lord Victorious Day One

The phrase first appeared in The Waters Of Mars, eleven years ago today. 

And to celebrate, a short story by James Goss about what the TARDIS thought...

Vworp!

Children In Need set visit prize draw

A chance to visit the set and meet the Doctor, once it’s safe to.

DALEKS! episode one

DALEKS! 01: The Archive of Islos

The Daleks get their own CG show, as part of Time Lord Victorious.

I love the Chief Archivian.

Season 13

2021. Eight episodes. My hope is that this short season, understandable in the current circumstances, leads to it being All Killer No Filler.

Sunday adventure hook: Son Of Kitten Kong

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Goodies...

Son Of Kitten Kong

1970, and the Stranger is called in to help some good friends with an episode of their new TV series, which deals with their attempts to thwart an alien invasion. They need help sorting out a likeness rights issue with the aliens, who they drove off a couple of years ago and don’t want to offend with their portrayal.

Sunday adventure hook: Please Look After This Time Lord

Inspired by the return of The Mandalorian: 

Please Look After This Time Lord

The travellers have to get into a fortress held by alien invaders, to find the thing they came to take.

It’s a baby.

It’s a Time Lord.

“Do they normally burp regeneration energy?”

Hallowe'en induced mad notion

Happy Hallowe’en!

And having just watched Scare Me, which I thought was great fun, an update on the American Doctor alternate timeline:

Aya Cash as Thirteen.

Sunday adventure hook: Trick

Hallowe’en Special!

Trick

The travellers go to the Village Halloween Parade in New York in 1978, so they can see John Carpenter’s Halloween with an early audience as well. And the Stranger spots a familiar face in the crowd. And another. And another. Some of her alien enemies, mingling unnoticed and being praised for the quality of their masks and costumes...

“I expect this kind of thing from Zygons.”

Sunday adventure hook: The Burning City

Post 1666! ... was a couple of posts ago. But anyway...

Doctor Who hit the Great Fire of London in The Visitation, the first adventure I really remember clearly, but what the hey...

The Burning City

London is ablaze. Who can you save? And what might this be hiding in this most invaded city, about to awaken?

“If I get drowned by Matthew Hopkins, I blame you. And also obviously Matthew Hopkins.”

Adventures In Lockdown

Adventures In Lockdown, the short stories spinning around some of the rewatches, collected in book form with new stories, for Children In Need.

Canaries

Canaries, a new short story both introducing The Wintertime Paradox festive collection by Dave Rudden and part of Time Lore Victorious.

VERBIER MUSEUM OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

ESTABLISHED 2044

NO TIME TRAVEL PLEASE

This would also be a good series setup, by the way, in a Friday The 13th: The Series kind of way.

New Who video games

Two games announced from Maze Theory.

For console. The Edge Of Reality, following The Edge Of Time VR game, starring 13 and 10 helping you save reality itself a million years in the future. No pressure.

For mobile devices, The Lonely Assassins, which looks like a classic adventure kind of game, searching for clues in photos and the like.

Sunday adventure hook: Message In A Bottle

Message In A Bottle

Influenced by... The Influence.

Someone trying to communicate through possession. A parent trying to save their child, even though the possessing being means no harm - but how do they communicate that?

“What are you trying to tell us?”

Sunday adventure hook: Faces From My Past

Faces From My Past

Inspired by the trailer for No Time To Die: 

The Stranger wakes to find herself in one of her previous bodies.

“Well... huh.”
