Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: Full Circle




Doctor Who:
Full Circle
By Andrew Smith

“Romana! This isn't Gallifrey.”


While responding to the call from The Time Lords The Doctor is in route to Gallifrey to return Romana home.  Romana doesn’t want to return home and spend the rest of her life on Gallifrey after experiencing all the adventures she has had while travelling with The Doctor.  Unknowing to the pair of time travelers the TARDIS enters a CVE and enters E – Space and lands on the planet Alzarius.  The Doctor is confused as the scanner shows Gallifrey but his eyes show him something completely different. 

They appear to have landed on Alzarius at time of chaos.  It is the time of Mist Fall and there are creatures coming out of the water.   The Marshmen have taken over the surface while the Alzarians have taken shelter in the Starliner.   The Doctor and Romana have run into Adric who seems to have hurt his knee and is in need of aid.  He tells them that his brother and the rest Outlers are in a cave outside in the mist. 


The Doctor goes out and investigates with K – 9 and find out that the mist is harmless but the Marshmen are not.  Adric goes back to the cave to get his brother and the rest of the Outlers and bring them back to the TARDIS with the homing signal.  They  arrive at the TARDIS and try and take it over when the Marshmen carry the TARDSI back to the Outlers cave.  There spiders are hatching from the fruit and make everyone panic and Adric and Outlers take off in the TARDIS and leave Romana there to get bitten by one of the spiders and got infected.  So it’s up to The Doctor to solve the problem of the Marshmen and find a way out of E – Space.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The E - Space Trilogy




Oh what can happen when you fly through a charged CVE?  Well you end up in E-Space that’s what.  What’s E- Space you say? Well E- Space is not a parallel universe but a universe existing alongside ours.  Well it just so happened that The Doctor, Romana and K-9 were aboard the TARDIS heading to Gallifrey when they flew through a charged CVE and ended up in E – Space. 

What is commonly called the E – Space Trilogy by fans of Classic Who consists of three very different stories that helped comprised season 18’s entropy themed season.  Full Circle, State of Decay and Warriors Gate are very cleverly written and also have some historical significance to the history of Doctor Who.
