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.

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.

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 final confrontation sees the Vervoids withering and dying; those survivors aboard Hyperion III escape the carnage. 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.

The TARDIS is attacked by the Rani, causing a crash‐landing on Lakertya. As the Sixth Doctor regenerates into his Seventh incarnation, he falls victim to post-regenerative confusion and is tricked by the Rani—disguised as Mel—into helping repair mysterious machinery. Meanwhile, Mel is separated and makes first contact with Lakertya natives, including the rebellious Ikona, while trying to flee from the Rani’s minions.

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.

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. The machine, powered by the minds of trapped scientists and guided by this collision, could transform Lakertya into a Time Manipulator with catastrophic consequences. The stakes rise as trust is betrayed, and Beyus makes difficult choices to delay catastrophe.

The Doctor and Mel rally the Lakertyans to sabotage the Rani’s doomsday machine before it reshapes time itself.

The Doctor and Mel arrive at the stylish Paradise Towers expecting luxury, only to find gangs, filth, and murderous robots lurking in its broken halls.

The Doctor is condemned under bizarre caretaker rules, while Mel encounters cannibal elder residents and the building's decay grows ever more grotesque.

Mel and Pex evade the deadly cleaners; the Doctor unravels the mystery of Kroagnon and the fate of Paradise Towers’ architect.

A fascinating 55-minute documentary, detailing the creation of Doctor Who. Looking at the factors that led to the birth of the programme, it includes a rare interview with the programme's creator, the late Sydney Newman, and new interviews with producer Verity Lambert, directors Waris Hussein and Richard Martin, actors William Russell and Carole Ann Ford, title sequence designer Bernard Lodge, and TARDIS sound effect creator Brian Hodgson.

2003-12-2027 min

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.

1966-11-01147 min

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.

1969-06-2537 min

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.

1974-06-1237 min

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!

1981-03-2562 min

1984-03-2139 min

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.

1986-12-1155 min

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.

1989-12-1347 min

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...

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.
