We look back at the Patrick Troughton Story The Dominators which came out 48 years ago this week.
Doctor Who:
The Dominators
By Norman Ashby
“An unintelligent enemy is far less dangerous than an intelligent one, Jamie. Just act stupid. Do you think you can manage that?”
The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe fresh from their little break after taking on the Cybermen in the Wheel decided to take an even longer break. They land on an island on the planet Dulkis. Dulkis is a peaceful planet that has sworn off violence and has no use for weapons anymore. Also on the island another ship also landed and inside that ship is The Dominators. The Dominators need a slave force to help get radioactive material to fuel their spaceship. Also on this ship are the robots that serve the Dominators which are the murderous Quarks. So it’s up to The Doctor to save the pacifist Dulkians to rise up and resist The Dominators and save the planet.
