Doctor Who 50th Anniversary: The Mind Robber

Doctor Who:
The Mind Robber
By Peter Ling

“Who are you? Who are you? Where are you? What do you want with me? 
No, no, I must fight. I must fight! I will fight!”

The Land of Fiction is a magical place where anything that is written becomes a reality to those who inhabit it. Where the TARDIS is blown to pieces and Jamie has a different face.  Where the White Robots are like police and wooden soldiers walk among us.  The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe have gotten themselves in a pickle and the ending might have already been written for them if The Master of the Land of Fiction has his way it won’t be a happy ending.

Celebrating 49 years of Doctor Who - The Cosmic Hobo by @cheezypeas

This article is probably one of the most difficult ones to write. A show I adore with a rich and varied history is 49 years old and where do I start? How do I do such a wonderful show enough justice and pay enough respect to it? Do I talk about the first story I ever saw; The Green Death? Do I discuss the Seventh Doctors era I predominantly remember whilst growing up? Then I re-watched my favourite story The Mind Robber and I found my answer.

As a child I recall seeing a picture of the Second Doctor grimacing in a newspaper or magazine and I was actually a little frightened! Over time I have developed a deeper appreciation for earlier stories and in particular, the Second Doctor and his era.
