Adaptation Expansion / Doctor Who Novelisations

The novelisations often expand upon the television stories. This happens especially in the case of scripts considered weak for not having a lot going on in them. For instance, the novelisation of "The Leisure Hive" has a large section pastiching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978) Cutaway Gags, going into great detail about the customs of the ridiculous and genocidal Proud Warrior Race civilisations that had created the Hive — little of which has any bearing on the plot, but all of which is funny. "The Twin Dilemma" goes into detail about how regeneration works (some of which was well-written enough to be recycled for the Fourth Doctor-narrated audio reconstruction of "The Power of the Daleks"), and adds a squickly amusing sequence about a Brainless Beauty Time Lord who lost everything upon regenerating into a plain body, and his attempts to restore his status by repeatedly killing himself and regenerating get worse and worse — just to add a little colour. The novelisation of "The Space Museum", a comedy story which was heavily edited to remove a lot of the jokes, was rewritten to put most of the jokes back in.

First Doctor

Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (usually shortened to Doctor Who and the Daleks)

• David Whitaker (the series’ first script editor) had to come up with an entirely new way for Ian and Barbara to meet the Doctor, as he did not have the rights to use any material from the TV version (which was the first episode of the previous story). Basically, Ian is a scientist, not a schoolteacher, and had never met Barbara or Susan until he rescues them from a crashed car.
• Susan says the Doctor is very rich, as he paid twenty pounds a week for Susan's tutor lessons.
• Susan wrote a thirty page essay on Robespierre.
• The yearometer in the TARDIS was damaged on a previous trip, and the Doctor has been meaning to fix it.
• The circles on the TARDIS walls can be used to store things.
• The Thals produce a drink called Ratanda, which is produced from a nut native to Skaro. When boiled, it produces a taste that akin to orange juice.

"The Edge of Destruction"

• The Doctor and Susan have mentioned the TARDIS' laboratory, workshop, conservatory and art gallery during the four travellers' "long weeks" aboard. Aside from the control room, Ian has only seen living, sleeping and recreational areas.
• The sleeping quarters are located a significant distance from the console room in the novelisation.
• The Doctor and Ian investigate the TARDIS' power rooms. It's a complex of fifteen separate rooms containing power stacks capable of powering every aspect of the Ship. Ian is sealed in with the internal scanner — a piece of equipment designed to survey the other fourteen rooms — and nearly suffocates to death before he can get the door open.
• Barbara explores the TARDIS laboratory where she is assaulted by books, boxes and various bits of equipment from the benches. The storeroom door in the shadow of the bookcase is lead-lined against its stock of radioactive isotopes. If she'd have entered without a protective suit, as Susan explains, she'd have been dead within thirty seconds.

"Marco Polo"

• Tegana seals the throne room, preventing anyone from entering to rescue Kublai Khan.
• Rather than concluding on Polo's speculations, the author notes that the Khan's TARDIS key has survived the passage of time and now resides in a Peking museum as the "Key to the World".

"The Keys of Marinus"

• The warrior who initially follows Susan around the outside of the City is a "Class 1 Voord Assault Trooper" that has been programmed to kill enemies on sight, indicating that it is partly mechanical or robotic in nature.

"The Aztecs"

• The year is given as 1507.
• Aztec culture is explored in greater detail.
• Ian discovers the skeleton of Ixta's father in the secret passage.

"The Sensorites"

• The humans are part of an extremist group called INNER, Interstellar Navigation, Exploration and Research.
• A greater emphasis is placed on the inner thoughts of the First Elder as he attempts to mediate between his own people's viewpoints and that of the outsiders from the spaceship.
• The book ends with Barbara's own musings about the fate of the Sensorites in the face of mankind's greed for material wealth. She worries that they'll suffer the same fate of the Mexican Aztecs and the Australian Aboriginals on Earth. She hopes that humanity has matured enough by the twenty-fifth century for such issues to be a thing of the past.

"The Reign of Terror"

• The state and culture of France is expanded upon by both Barbara and the narrator. Including, but not limited to the tricotouses who jeer at those for the Guillotine, dying their wool in the victims' blood, and Napoleon's turbulent relationship with Barras and his government.

"Planet of Giants"

• The book reinstates numerous scenes from the television script excised from the broadcast version; the story had originally been produced as four episodes, but on the instruction of the BBC's Head of Serials, who felt the story was too slow-paced, the last two episodes were re-edited into one, and the novelisation was based on the original four-part version.

"The Dalek Invasion of Earth"

• When Ian asks how the Daleks survived, the Doctor, rather than claim the events of "The Daleks" took place "a million years in the future", merely suggests the Daleks had other colonies on Skaro that were not involved in the Thal attack and so the destruction was not as complete as everyone believed.

"The Rescue"

• The book adds scenes set on board the rescue ship and an epilogue. The TARDIS nearly crashes into the rescue ship twice.

"The Romans"

• The Doctor encounters Barbara at the palace and bustles her and Ian away from the scene when Nero and Poppaea are distracted by the lions he released earlier, before accidentally starting the fire himself by dropping the burning plans into the sewer.

Doctor Who and the Zarbi

• The Voice plans to assault the Earth "in its hundredth Christian millennium", possibly indicating the time period in which this story takes place.

"The Crusade"

• Barbara and Vicki play Martian Chess in the TARDIS at the start of the novel.
• The Doctor has a lengthy discussion with Ian about altering time and the rights and wrongs in the universe.

"The Chase"

• More detail on the background of Morton C. Dill: clumsy, always speaking without thinking and not the sort of person many people wish to know, he was nicknamed 'Dill the Pill' in school for being rather hard to take. After explaining to two guards in the Empire State Building about his encounter with the TARDIS crew and the Dalek, he was locked up in the Newman Rehabilitation Clinic in 1967 where he became a permanent resident. The Dalek decides against killing him because it considers it a far worse fate for the human race to allow him to live.
• The appearance of the Daleks at the beginning is expanded upon, with the Black Dalek seeing the squad of executioners leave in the time machine.
• At this point in their history, the Daleks are also aware of the Doctor's ability to change his appearance even though they encounter his first incarnation.
• The Aridian Elders are confronted by the Daleks and forced to cooperate with them, something which happened off-screen in the televised version.
• Ian and Barbara discuss the Mary Celeste matter further, wondering if the death of the crew was their fault since they led the Daleks there or if it was an inevitable fact of history. Ian notes that Barbara once tried to change the history of the Aztecs but failed.

"The Time Meddler"

• Steven and Vicki discuss the Monk's plan as they did in the television serial, but the Doctor interrupts them and describes what the Monk's plan will do to them. Since Steven and Vicki are both English, the Doctor states clearly if the Monk succeeds them they will never have existed because without the Vikings' involvement, it's possible one of their ancestors was Norman and if that ancestor is killed they could not exist.
• In an epilogue featuring original content, the Monk makes several additional efforts to change the outcome of the Battle of Hastings, after his original plan fails, and before he discovers that the Doctor has marooned him in 1066.

"Galaxy Four"

• The Doctor and Steven fall into a pit on their way back from the Drahvin spaceship and only escape by pulling a Chumblie along with them. By standing on it, they manage to climb out.

"The Myth Makers"

• The Doctor thinks they have landed in the Kalahari.

"The Daleks' Master Plan"

• The Black Dalek is described as being second in the Dalek hierarchy and apparently doesn't normally leave Skaro.
• Katarina is released from Kirksen's grip while trapped in the airlock of the Spar although she still remains a hostage. Kirksen also cuts off some locks of Katarina's hair with his knife to admire it.
• Bret injures his leg when he crashes the Spar on Earth.
• Bret clings to life for a few moments longer after being shot by Sara, allowing for a few last words on Sara's allegiance to Mavic Chen.
• The Visians are explored in much more detail. They are shown to be capable of speech and their confrontations between the Doctor, Steven and Sara are much more heated. When one is covered in mud, Peel describes its appearance as: "thin, bony, with two long, clawed arms, feet like birds' claws, and a narrow head with a beak."
• The Black Dalek apparently hasn't met the Doctor. Midway through, the Daleks come to recognise who the Doctor is.
• The hangar containing the Dalek saucers in the hidden base on Kembel contains thousands of Daleks awaiting the launch of the invasion and the fleet is watched by Daleks using Hoverbouts.
• Both Chen and Karlton are exposed as traitors when Marc Cory's recorded message is found to have been in Bret Vyon's possession. Karlton is arrested by Senator Diksen.

"The Massacre"

• A prologue and epilogue in which the Doctor is being asked to explain his actions in sixteenth century France to a group of Time Lords are added.
• Mention is made of an EDF system or External Decontamination Function that the TARDIS can use as a "sort of spatial car-wash."
• The Doctor's time in Paris as a prisoner and later a confidante of a conspiracy operating from the Parisian catacombs is explored in far greater detail. It's the Doctor's interference, in spite of his sworn intention contrariwise, that ultimately brings the scrutiny of his peers in the Book Ends. Here, he deliberately meddles in historical events by attempting to prevent the assassination of Admiral de Coligny.
• The TARDIS is taken to the Bastille prison where it is pawed over by a locksmith. The locking mechanism sets "fire to his arm on the inside," as he describes it, when attempting to force the door open.
• Henri III is mentioned.
• The Doctor is present, and could be argued is partly responsible, for the slaying of the Abbot.

"The Ark"

• The unnamed human initially on trial and subsequently minimised is called Niash. He's later re-enhanced at the story's conclusion where he is greeted by the Doctor, Steven and Dodo, alongside other restored Guardians and Monoids eager to start their new lives together on Refusis II.
• The Doctor and Manyak visit other environmental regions aboard the Ark struck by Dodo's spreading cold virus. These include a polar, desert and several cultivation regions, as well as a variety of fauna left unseen in the televised serial.
• Whilst travelling in the polar region, the Doctor and Manyak are forced to move some corpses to prevent the spread of the virus. Their actions are observed by scouts who relay back to Zentos using their wrist communicators.
• The novella expands on how the Monoids appear to be servants to the Guardians. When the Doctor asks why no Guardians work in the cultivation region, Manyak explains that they prefer not to do manual labour, whilst the Monoids apparently embrace it. While hunting a deer, one Guardian falls prey to a boa constrictor and its only through the intervention of his Monoid companion that he survives the encounter.
• The Doctor notes that in the intervening centuries the Guardians have evolved two hearts, a larger brain and a smaller intestinal tract. When questioned by Dodo on the subject about himself, he responds that he's had "more experience of adapting", implying a non-human physiology. An explanation is provided on why the TARDIS returned to the Ark.
• During Steven's shift at the controls, he falls asleep and knocks one of his levers with his sleeve. The result being that he dislodges the Ship's spatial coordinates and triggers a premature, somewhat disruptive landing.
• While only one Refusian addressed the expedition in the televised story, Dodo befriends a young Refusian girl in the novelisation with whom she plays tennis. It's during their game that she discovers the aliens have extraordinary strength, prefiguring their part in the eventual disposal of the statue aboard the Ark. Dodo gives the two Refusians names — Charlie is their leader and Mary is his daughter.

"The Celestial Toymaker"

• The Doctor indicates on a number of occasions that the Toymaker is one of a race of toymakers.
• Additional scenes compare the toys to nuclear weapons.

"The Gunfighters"

• Reuben Clanton, specified as the eldest brother, was killed by Holliday for cheating at cards and Holliday proposed to Kate after she set fire to the tavern to stop Reuben's friends killing him.
• Phineas repeatedly tries to come up with colourful similes.
• Pa Clanton is campaigning to be mayor, with most of the onlookers at the gunfight being his supporters.
• The Clanton brothers attempt to destroy the TARDIS with dynamite to teach Earp a lesson.
• Eddie Foy is mentioned.

"The War Machines"

"The Evil of the Daleks"

• The book opens up with a prologue detailing the events following on from "The Daleks' Master Plan", which took place over a thousand years prior to this story's setting. Due to the First Doctor's interference and the failure of the Dalek force on Kembel to destroy Earth, numerous war forces were able to assemble to assault the main forces of the Dalek Empire in a series of wars over the course of the millennium, among them the Thals, the Draconians and the Terran Federation. The Daleks' disastrous performances in "their Great War" led their computers to predict that they would be fought to extinction within 80 years if things did not improve.

• The Doctor threatens a military chauffeur in the 1917 zone with three months' imprisonment.
• Two deserters in the 1917 zone from opposing armies, George Brown and Willi Muller, comment on events. In the Roman time zone, charioteer Drusus Gracchus and his friend Brurus Sullas witness the disappearance of the ambulance, and plan for a sacrifice to Mars, the God of War.
• An additional scene features an exchange between Smythe and an alien disguised as Count Vladimir Chainikof, a Russian officer from The Crimean War.

• A line is added where the Doctor pleads to the Resistance men to not kill Smythe.
• Before he is returned home, Jeremy Carstairs asks the Doctor whether all the suffering of the First World War will be for nothing. The Doctor reflects that: "You have answered your own question, Lieutenant. War is always death and misery, and both sides lose. I hope that one day you humans will find another way to settle your arguments."
• Immediately following their escape from the War Games, the TARDIS materialises on a "galactic South Sea island" covered in lush foliage and exotic flowers. Unable to stay, their next port of call brings them deep beneath the ocean and to the scrutiny of a curious shark, before they arrive in deep space. The Doctor attempts to use the maximum power-drive to outrun them, but the ship is inevitably brought back to Gallifrey where it is impounded as in the televised story.
• When captured by the Time Lords the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe consider stealing another TARDIS. The theft of the TARDIS becomes an additional charge at the Doctor's trial. Although the subject is broached during "Episode 8", no mention of it is made at the tribunal itself.
• The Doctor's trial at the end is overseen by an invisible judge who finds the Doctor endearing and wished he could have stayed on Gallifrey to "liven the place up no end".

"Inferno"

• The "door handle" is confirmed to be the sonic screwdriver.
• The Doctor deduces how the parallel Earth became a dictatorship.
• Professor Stahlman's motivation is explored in more detail. He is said to have grown up in the ruins of post-war Germany (so he's either younger in the novel or the story is set circa 1990, unless he is describing the First World War).

"Terror of the Autons"

• More background is given to Luigi Rossini and his circus, and it is revealed that Tony the Strongman is on the run from the law.

• The various personal lives and backgrounds of Ashe's colonists and Interplanetary Mining Corporation personnel are greatly expanded in the novelisation. Dent, for instance, has a wife arranged by IMC's matchmaking computers and two children who are being educated in an IMC school.
• IMC's robot is a Class 3 Servo Robot, humanoid in shape, and nicknamed Charlie. The Doctor expects it to crush his arm in response to a jibe, but instead, the machine repeats his insult back to him on a recording (with the addition of metallic laughter).
• The Earth that the colonists migrated from is elaborated upon. Metric units of measurement were adopted globally there some 6000 years ago and, in Dent's lifetime, it was fashionable to dye one's hair blue. On nonwork days, you could pay to journey up to experience sunshine on the concrete. Alternatively, you could invest in a Walk: a cubicle with a moving floor that took you through projected footage taken from the State Archives of historic greenery.

During the trial, the Doctor gave testimony urging punishment other than the death penalty.
• The Doctor frequently tells Jo that the Sea Devils are related to the Silurians and that they are "just like those cave monsters we met in Derbyshire" — obviously referring to both himself and UNIT, as Jo never met the Silurians on-screen.
• The Doctor and Jo find a spooky engraving suggesting the locals know about the Sea Devils.
• The Sea Devils live in a metal cave and only turn on the Master when the new Sea Devil leader needs to assert his dominance.

• Jo sees a chained up Ogron, who will be starved and then fed to the lizard for stealing food from the shrine.

Williams, given the first name John, was a lieutenant who took command when the captain and senior officers were killed, and destroyed the Draconian ship by firing his retro-rockets at it and causing a chain reaction. The future President was onboard as a senator's aide: It is implied that they were in a relationship which the incident ended.

• Vaber questions Taron's decision to go and help the Doctor.

"The Green Death"

• By the time the Doctor arrives, no one has visited Metebelis Three in three-hundred years. Not since a lone Time Lord stayed for a few hours writing up a report for their files.

• As the Doctor leads Cliff away from Jo, she recognises that the Doctor knows she's fallen in love. Sympathetically, she wonders why her old friend never married.

• Cliff proclaims his love to Jo as UNIT begin their bombing run of the slag heap.
• The Doctor mourns killing the giant dragonfly.
• Stevens' efforts to destroy BOSS are observed by the Doctor.

The Time Lord laments the destruction and wonders how many slaves and semi-slaves perished in the inferno.
• Following the refinery's collapse, the guard at the front gate remarks that before reconditioning he was a bus driver en route to West End. He has no idea of how he came to work there.
• In the final moments of the story, after Jo has chosen to remain with Cliff, the Doctor is mentioned to be 725-years-old.

"The Time Warrior"

• An opening sequence of a space battle between the Sontarans and Rutans is added. The scout ship featured throughout the story is the last surviving component of a space cruiser pursued by nine Rutan attack craft.
• A greater emphasis is placed on the Doctor's role as a spy for the Brigadier at the country house. The Time Lord has to request access to the TARDIS directly, rather than it already being provided for him on-site. Given the Doctor's propensity to abscond, the Brigadier has reservations about providing it, but instructs his men to carry out the instruction.
• Cut scenes with Hal the Archer and the messenger boy are reinstated.
• Sarah's first trip in the TARDIS is depicted. She hides in a wardrobe room, just off the main console room, and speculates as to the Doctor's affiliation with the Brigadier.

• Irongron, Bloodaxe and Linx travel to Sir Edward's castle on horseback.
• The Doctor's reflective shield from the TARDIS survives his duel with Linx long enough for Rubeish to be transported back to the modern-day. Sarah searches for a weapon to strike the Sontaran's probic vent while the two fight.
• Linx refrains from killing the Doctor and Sarah as he's wasted enough time disposing of Irongron. His ship is already on automatic countdown, so he believes they'll be destroyed in the blast regardless. The alien warrior is already dead from Hal's arrow by the time his hand comes down on the take-off button.

Doctor Who and the Dinosaur Invasion

• Whitaker and Butler have extra dialogue after their first meeting with Yates implying he does not know the full extent of their plan; despite this, he is fully aware of it when confronting the Doctor, the Brigadier and Benton, as on television.
• The novelisation adds a few more lines to the Doctor's speech to Yates about "taking the world you've got and making something of it". He listed examples such as ending reliance on fossil fuels, ending the arms race, and ending racism; all suitable real life issues at the time this serial was made.
• Grover is beginning to sway some of the Golden Age colonists round to his way of thinking when the Doctor arrives.
• At the end there is a scene where the Doctor shows Sarah a passage from the Book of Ezekiel describing a heavenly visitation and speculates that it's a distorted account of the final fate of the Golden Age time travellers.

• Bellal and his break-away Exxilon faction are identified as Subterranean Exxilons.

• The Doctor's party attempt to reach their respective ships before the Daleks launch their plague missiles to contaminate the planet. Bellal whispers their success on destroying the City. The Doctor wishes to continue their journey to Florana, but Sarah asks him to instead concentrate on getting her home.

"Planet of the Spiders"

• The book begins with a prologue featuring Jo Grant, who is referenced but does not appear on screen in the TV version. Jo is referred to as Josephine Jones, which is consistent with the name she uses when she returns in The Sarah Jane Adventures.

• It is made clearer that the Spider Council planned the invasion of Earth without the request of either the Great One or the Queen, assuming that was why the Great One wanted the crystal.
• The Brigadier enters the laboratory in time to see the TARDIS disappear.
• The rebellion appears much more successful than on screen, with the rebels killing most if not all of the guards and gaining control of the mountain and Arak and Tuar only falling under the Spiders' control because they came too close to the inner sanctum. The rebels watch the mountain explode from the distance.
• It is mentioned that Barnes and the others were hospitalised with nervous breakdowns after the Spiders died and Sarah has asked the Brigadier to help Tommy get into university.

"The Ark in Space"

• The space station has blue whales and elephants in storage.
• Noah's pleas for Vira to kill him are retained alongside
• Wirrn larvae are used as a threat.
• The Wirrn try to eat the ventilation shaft Sarah is crawling through.

• It is revealed that Styr is delaying submitting his report because he is enjoying the experiments.
• The Doctor and Styr start their fight unarmed and both later use the gravity bar as a weapon.
• Styr's experiment on Sarah is more elaborate, with her hallucinating drowning, being burned alive in a desert and attacked by a horde of ants. She is imprisoned in a cave rather than tied to a rock, and when Harry enters the cave he is affected too, imagining himself being attacked by a demonic Sarah. The experiment has already begun when Harry first finds her.
• The Doctor weakens Styre during the fight by pouring the contents of a hip-flask into his probic vent. He then throws the Doctor off the edge but he survives because part of the Scavenger's levitation system slows his fall.

• The novelisation adds an epilogue of the Doctor, Sarah and Harry heading for Loch Ness.
• The Cyberleader reacts when Kellman mentions the name Doctor, relating how someone with that name was a frequent enemy of the Cybermen, but states the Fourth Doctor is not the same person because his face is different.

Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster

• The Caber is called that because he won a caber-tossing contest in the Highland Games ("caber" in this instance referring to a tree trunk).
• There is an extra scene in which the TARDIS materialises and temporarily becomes invisible. (This scene was filmed, but was edited out before transmission. It can be viewed as a special feature on the DVD release of this story).

• In Leela's quarters, Andred returns her knife in exchange for her presence at the induction ceremony.
• During the induction ceremony, the search for the Great Key is a modified version of a preexisting element of the event. The artefact was believed to be stolen by the Master when he fled Gallifrey, so the candidate touches the empty pillow instead as a purely ceremonial gesture. In reality, the Great Key he found in the museum was simply a facsimile. The genuine article still lies in Borusa's keeping. His attempt to give the Doctor the incorrect key is omitted.
• It's explained that the De-Mat Gun doesn't just vaporize people, it actually removes them from time completely, as we had previously seen the Time Lords do to the War Chief and his henchmen. And since Stor was the mastermind behind the whole invasion of Gallifrey, when the Doctor uses it on Stor it not only erases him, it also undoes both the Vardan and Sontaran invasions of the planet.
• Castellan Kelner has succeeded the retired Spandrell due to a combination of good birth and political intrigue. His office is described as "an elaborate affair of transparent plastic and gleaming metals with complex control consoles and brightly flickering vision screens everywhere."

Following his capture by Leela in the TARDIS, he goes unmentioned.
• According to the Doctor, the fusion grenade Stor uses in the Panopticon will not only trigger the black hole beneath the planet, but also likely wipe out the Sontaran battle fleet as well.
• Stor feels insecurities and has a lipless mouth with blazing red eyes. According to the Doctor, the fusion grenade he uses in the Panopticon will not only trigger the black hole beneath the planet, but also likely wipe out the Sontaran battle fleet as well.
• Nesbin was cast out of the Capitol for assaulting a rival Time Lord, an offence almost unheard of in Gallifreyan society.
• The "search for the Great Key" is a new responsibility because the Master stole it; the Doctor notes it was a fake that didn't have the power of the true Great Key.
• Alone in the TARDIS conservatory, the Doctor notes that the stabiliser field only covers the control room. Stor's gun is perfectly functional within the rest of the ship. Even if it wasn't, the Time Lord is still at risk of being throttled or beaten to death regardless.
• It is stated that Stor's gun will not operate in the TARDIS control room but will in the rest of the ship.
• The guards attempt to break into the Doctor's office with axes typically used for ceremonial parades. They were never designed for practical use.
• Some of Andred's loyal guards accompany the Doctor's group to meet Borusa and are killed with Jablif in a skirmish with the Sontarans.

• There is much dialogue between the Doctor and Sholakh when the former is disguised as a guard, with the Doctor claiming to be Gammon, a member of the special reserve.
• The Graff is trying to clear the blocked entrance when the charger blows up, implying that the explosion clears a way for the Doctor's group to leave the catacombs.

• Martha is given back story as a local schoolteacher who joined the Druids because of her friendship with De Vries. She suggests they escape to Plymouth.
• The Nine Travellers contains nine stones, at least until three turn out to be Ogri.
• The Doctor ruminates on his acquaintances with Julius Caesar and Tacitus.
• Romana attaches the third segment to the rest of the Key at the climax.

"The Power of Kroll"

• A prologue explores the Kroll's feeding cycle and how the creature slept for centuries while fed on the nutrient-rich mud before being disturbed by the building of the refinery.
• Thawn mentions having brought Harg back some book tapes.

• During breakfast, just before Tegan and Nyssa are introduced to Shardovan, Tegan questions the lack of equality in Castrovalva.
• Nyssa initially worries that the Doctor is suffering from high altitude edema when he dashes up the stairs but this turns to be the effects of the spacial disturbances of Castrovalva.

"Time Flight"

• Dave Culshaw is specified as Concorde Speedbird Flight 192's first officer.

"Arc of Infinity"

"Warriors of the Deep"

• The world of 2084 is explored in greater detail. Terrance Dicks makes no implication regarding the two sides in the human conflict, clearly referring to them as East Bloc and West Bloc. The West Bloc's use of the human brain in their synch-op systems provided a tactical edge that the East lacked. It also proved to be their weakest link due to the strict requirements of the position. The Sea Bases were constructed to offset the new vulnerabilities of space-based warfare in the latter half of the 21st century.
• Icthar is identified multiple times, by the Doctor and the author, as the unnamed Silurian Scientist previously encountered by the Third Doctor in "Doctor Who and the Silurians". Poised between the Old Silurian initially leading the shelter and the Young Silurian who usurped him.
• An attempted rescue of the Doctor by Turlough and Preston that was cut from the televised version is retained.
• Doctor Solow, along with Nilson, was a convert to the ideology of the East Bloc, the power bloc opposed to the base. After the death of Solow's husband and parents, Nilson convinced her that the philosophy of the East Bloc was the answer to all of life's problems, but for the East Bloc to wipe out all suffering and injustice on Earth, sacrifices would have to be made. Conversely, Nilson is described as "a complete fanatic", if anything more ruthless than the people he serves.
• When Nilson takes Tegan hostage, the Doctor follows them to the ultraviolet converter carrying the dead Karina's blaster for protection. He's forced to discard it when Nilson calls his bluff and threatens Tegan with his own weapon.

"Resurrection of the Daleks"

• The Prison Station is a ship called the Vipod Mor. It has a cat named Sir Runcible that escapes with the Doctor through the time corridor.

• In the "Coda," Tegan is briefly pursued by Lytton's policemen after leaving the TARDIS, and jumps off a bridge onto a boat to escape.
• More focus is placed on Tegan's growing discomfort, with her expressing disgust on finding the bodies of the bomb disposal squad and disagreeing with the Doctor's plan to execute Davros.

"Planet of Fire"

Sixth Doctor

"The Twin Dilemma"

• Eric Saward adds a detailed description of how regeneration works, detail not supported by other novels or televised stories. However, Saward's creation of lindos, the hormone which kickstarts the regenerative process, is significant to the plot of "Unregenerate!".
• Azmael's departure from Gallifrey is said to have attracted the attention of the High Council who considered him too knowledgeable to be allowed free passage in the wider cosmos. To that end, they dispatch an assassination squad of Seedle warriors to execute him. The warriors track him down to Vitrol Minor where he had been hiding and massacred the population in search of the missing Time Lord. However, by the time that they had realised his absence, he'd escaped and returned to Gallifrey. Enraged and grief-stricken, he attempted to get the President and the High Council indicted, but both escaped charge. Azmael is forced to gun down the politicians, but disgusted by the act, declares himself an outcast and condemns himself to exile beyond Gallifrey. There is no mention of this in the televised story. He expresses regrets about leaving Gallifrey and becoming a renegade. In the televised story, his only regret is not being able to stay on Jaconda.
• The Doctor reminisces about his times with Jo Grant, Tegan, Leela, Zoe, Jamie, Turlough, Nyssa, Romana, Liz Shaw and more prominently, Adric. The novelisation goes further and says that the memory of Adric was the most painful of all, with the boy going to his death without the Doctor being able to fully praise or even like him.

• The Doctor mentions that the Jacondans are forming militias to dispose of the remaining gastropods after Mestor's death.

"Attack of the Cybermen"

• Back story is provided for the gang members:
  • Griffiths was named after Prince Charles by his mother. Growing up without a father, he started shoplifting at a young age to help his mother out, being caught at the age of eleven due to his choice to repeatedly rob the same department store. He was labelled a recidivist by a criminal psychologist at the age of twenty-one and, by the age of thirty-two, had spent eight years and seven months in prison. He lived off of Social Security and loans from his mother, whom he lived with, before meeting Gustave Lytton, whose successful criminal adventures he began assisting with. Becoming rich meant that he was able to help his mother and also built his self-esteem.

• Arak worked in the Zeiton-7 division of Mine Tech. He and Etta have no children. She serves him food before the viewer's reports are introduced, but not before television became compulsory.

• The Governor's favourite drink is a sparkling blue wine from Emsidium.
• A new scene sees the Governor and his personal butler, Sevrin, in his home when the Chief Officer requests him to return to the Dome regarding Sil.

• When attacked in the station's infrastructure, Peri punches Jamie out in self-defence.

• The Sixth Doctor hesitates to combat Dastari, telling Jamie he was once a champion sampola wrestler.
• Chessene's use of coronic acid inwardly alarms Dastari, as the Rutans are the weapon's inventors and chief distributors. With it, they decimated the Sontarans at Vollotha. The Sixth Doctor notes that it was specifically tailored to attack cloned tissue and the Sontarans still have no defence against it. When Varl perishes, shielding Stike from the canisters, he notes to himself to recommend his subordinate for the Golden Role of Heroes.
• It is revealed that the Doctor has invented the gumblejack as an excuse for Peri.

"Timelash"

• The rebel group lead by Katz and Sezon make an appearance far earlier in the story than on television. Their new hideout is described as a disused mineral mine and the three insurgents who are captured and killed in the early hours of the story — Gazak, Tyheer and Aram — are noted to be the second of two paramilitary brigades attacking the Borad's power structure. Katzin "Katz" Makrif is the daughter of the former Maylin who died under suspicious circumstances in a previous "bloodless" coup.
• Peri escapes from the Citadel onto the surface of Karfel itself, catching her breath under a crimson skyline and the twin suns of Rearbus and Selynx. Faced with the decision to travel north/south into the desert, east back into the city or west into the caves, she chooses to brave the caverns.
• The Doctor abandons the Borad's vault to rescue Peri and Herbert from the Morlox himself. He soaks the end of a wooden stake with the contents of the M80 cannister and thrusts it straight into the creature's mouth. The resulting chemical reaction combines the two together, killing the frenzied animal outright.
• The Central Citadel's guardoliers are discovered to be androids of a similar make to those employed directly by the Borad. When he is killed, an automatic trigger is sent down to fifty-strong to obliterate every living thing in the Citadel. Peri arms herself with a blaster and accompanies the rebels while the Doctor and Mykros attempt to shut down the power vault with the two recovered amulets.
• The Borad is said to have a series of clones in freeze-chambers. The original is cast into the time corridor at the end of the story. The Doctor instructs Mykros to destroy them by disintegrating the temperature control units, so the dictator's regime can finally become a memory.
• Gazak's father was a councillor who was killed for continuing to supply grain to the Bandrils in secret.

• The "lenient" sentencing during the Doctor's previous trial, as mentioned by the Valeyard, is explicitly linked to his five-year exile on the planet Earth.
• The Trial Station is said to be in a graveyard of spaceships.

"Mindwarp"

• A tongue-in-cheek epilogue reveals that Peri had not died as the Doctor had believed, but that she and Yrcanos fell in love and travelled to Earth in the 20th century.

• The Court is permitted to watch the Doctor's first entry to the Matrix unfurl as they had with the previous segments.
• Maintenance of the Matrix is delegated to the Elzevirs, inhabitants of Leptonica in the constellation of Daedalus. Specialists in delicate micro-technology, the supervisor of the supercomputer repair team, Nilex, was hypnotised by the Master who used the opportunity to make a duplicate Key of Rassilon.
• The novelisation features an epilogue aboard the TARDIS between the Doctor and Mel. Despite her eagerness to travel with him, he points out to her that she must be returned to where she was abducted in order to maintain the continuity of time. Mel departs to the surface of Oxyveguramosa, where she reunites with her Sixth Doctor. The story goes on to state that the Doctor would experience a series of adventures that would culminate in a confrontation with the Rani.

Seventh Doctor

"Time and the Rani"

"Dragonfire"

• Erick is an Aldeberian ambassador.
• The TARDIS scene opens with Mel standing on her head and the Doctor deliberately causing turbulence so she falls over.
• Stellar is given a few background details, being referred to as a Starchild and musing about describing her adventures to her best friend Mith-mind and that her father now loves with another woman.
• The Doctor pays Glitz's bill at the café.
• There is a sequence of Glitz being trapped under a spike of ice that is about to fall: This was filmed but cut from the finished programme.

"Remembrance of the Daleks"

• The book contains far more detail on the Special Weapons Dalek, also known as "the Abomination". Its motives are explored in detail, from its inception and creation as the ultimate weapon, to the surprising fact that the firing of the weapon caused it to mutate and become self-aware. As a result, it is closely monitored and even "feared" by other Daleks.
• Various Dalek campaigns are mentioned such as the Spiridon Campaign and the Movellan War. Three off screen campaigns are also mentioned when exploring more indepth detail on the Special Weapons Dalek: Pa Jass-Gutrik, the war of vengeance against the Movellans, Pa Jaski-Thal, the liquidation war against the Thals and Pas Jass-Vortan, the time campaign — the war to end all wars. The Special Weapons Dalek fought in all these wars.
• The Renegade Dalek faction employs electronic countermeasure pods, a form of in-built intrusion countermeasures electronics (ICE), in their defence. These devices allow them to infiltrate and confuse the targeting computer and life support systems of any Imperial Daleks who come into range. During their first face-to-face encounter in London, the Renegades overwhelm their opposition by distorting their foes' aim and eventually drown them in their own nutrient tanks.
• The Doctor mentions the Movellan War to Ace, Rachel and Allison. The Movellan virus apparently fragmented the Daleks and left them in isolated factions.
• Skaro's destruction is described with full in depth detail. Several details regarding Skaro are mentioned including one thousand million Daleks, a Dalek city, rock leopards in the mountains, seas boiling, the sky turning white and the atmosphere being blown into space. There is also mention of a Dalek city on Skaro known as Mensvat Esc-Dalek.
• There are two extracts from a (in-universe) book called The Children of Davros Volume XIX, published in 4065. These imply that Dalek politics are now influenced by various Dalek factions, after the events of this story.
• The Imperial faction employs scout Daleks with "overpowered motor[s]" that navigate and attack using sensor signals from bulb housings on their torsos. They may bear an ancestral resemblance to the reconnaissance drone depicted in "Resolution".
• The Daleks know the Doctor as Ka Farq Gatri, enemy of the Daleks, bringer of darkness. This was reused for the Second Doctor in the comic Bringer of Darkness.
• The vicar is named Reverend Parkinson and was blinded in a gas attack in Verdun during World War I, where he served as a captain. He felt he had been called to God and felt His presence while being treated at a dressing station.
• There is a short prologue featuring the First Doctor portraying a scene from "An Unearthly Child".
• Ace and the Doctor encounter the Special Weapons Dalek as it and the Imperial Daleks attack the Renegade Daleks in Ratcliffe's Yard.
• The novelisation expands on Davros' origin, depicting the bombardment that led to him becoming crippled and chief scientist of the Kaled scientific division. The Kaled High Command attempted to persuade him to suicide after he was lamed, citing his genetic impurity. Davros instead came to the realisation that they were too weak to abide by their principles. They couldn't kill him or even exile him and that weakness was incorporated into the Dalek design. This rejection and the bombardment were depicted in Davros and Corruption, respectively.
• The novelisation expands on the Counter-Measures group, including a blossoming romance between Gilmore and Rachel.
• There are several flashbacks to a key event in early Time Lord history, when the Hand of Omega was used for the first time, featuring Rassilon, Omega, and a third person who is referred to in the narration as "the other" because his name is lost to history. These sections draw on the ideas about early Time Lord history that were developed in more detail in the Doctor Who New Adventures.
• Characters are given backstory:
  • Group Captain Gilmore was a lieutenant in World War II in 1940. He was terrified during a massive German bombing raid and after the base landline was cut, he spent the night with Jensen (then a radar operator). The next morning, he was transferred to Scotland for training command. Since then, he would have recurring bouts of fear that he covered up with his uniform and bearing.
  • Rachel Jensen grew up in the Jewish community at Golders Green, London and was in the Girl Guides during the 30s. She worked with Alan Turing was never able to eat porridge thanks to Turing comparing the human brain to eight ounces of it. By the end of the story, the repeated display of advanced tecnhology and its implications leave her quietly shaken, which lead to her decision to retire in 1964.
  • Ratcliffe's was a member of the Shoreditch Association during the 30s. They took part in a march down Cable Street, espousing their patriotism and their pride in fighting against Bolsheviks, Jews and other minority groups. During The '50s, he made use of his contacts to gain work aiding in the post-war reconstruction efforts around London's East End which had been ravaged by the Blitz. His builder's merchant career prospered as a result. He also turned his efforts to the challenging prospect of rebuilding the Association. He made use of an influx of immigrants to recruit other like-minded individuals to the Association He found immigrants had become an easier target than Jews were in this endeavour, as they were "more obvious" and "more different." In the longer term, Ratcliffe hoped to stage a coup and bring the Association to power. However, as the economic conditions weren't as severe as the 1930s, he despaired that not enough people required scapegoats and the Association couldn't recruit as many people as it used to.
  • Mike Smith's father was killed in 1943 during one of the Royal Navy's Arctic convoys supplying the Soviet Union via Murmansk. Only a boy when World War II ended, he would play on bombsites in Shoreditch where he met Ratcliffe, who gifted him with a German chocolate bar. Over the years, he had many further meetings with Ratcliffe, who imparted upon him his ideology. Ratcliffe warned of bankers and communists working in league with each other and of a ploy by the British government to reduce wages by replacing white workers with black immigrants. This aided in the rise of Smith's prejudices. Smith would later become a sergeant in the RAF, serving eighteen months in Malaya by 1963, where he was often bored but also witnessed at least one sudden death. He also witnessed a bar fight in Singapore almost turn murderous.
• Prior to the events of the story, Ratcliffe returned to his office down Pullman's Road to find the space having been occupied by the Renegade Daleks' battle computer. The computer's hidden occupant promised him power and shared secrets; Ratcliffe learned about the assassination of John F. Kennedy before it took place. Ratcliffe shared this information with Smith, who was convinced that Ratcliffe had hidden knowledge and was worth listening to after this successful prediction.
• Ratcliffe's office blows up when the Dalek Supreme sets the battle computer to self-destruct.

"The Greatest Show in the Galaxy"

• There is more dialogue between the Doctor and Ace as the advertising satellite approaches, with the Doctor believing the TARDIS defences will stop it.

"Battlefield"

• A flashback sequence includes an unknown future incarnation of the Doctor, who has red hair and wears a camel-hair coat. This incarnation would later reappear in a cameo sequence in Ben Aaronovitch's novel Transit.
• There is an extra opening sequence of Bambera being summoned to Geneva to be breached on the nuclear missile transport. Excalibur's signal causes a storm, which is what grounds the convoy.
• Ace is buried under rubbish when the TARDIS is thrown about by the signal.
• There is extra background material of Morgaine and Mordred receiving Excalibur's signal, including Mordred being summoned from a tavern with his drinking partner.
• Material from earlier drafts that was never filmed is included, such as Rowlinson going to help Lavel after the helicopter crash, the Brigadier taking charge of Lavel's remains and Doris attempting to get information on casualties.
• It also uses the idea of the Destroyer initially appearing as an aristocratic man in a 20th century business suit, with his shadow being that of his demon self.
• The Destroyer kills a group of soldiers who try to help Ace and Shou Yuing at the hotel.
• The novelisation includes dates not given on screen: Walmsley's tax disc reads 30.6.99 (suggesting a setting of late 1998 or early 1999), while Liz Shaw's old UNIT pass expired on 31.12.75.
• Ancelyn's back story is given: He was a Knight General in Morgaine's army who deserted because of an ancient family pledge to answer Arthur's call. He refuses to give UNIT information on Morgaine's army because of his old oaths.
• Rowlinson reveals he is a retired police officer.
• The novelisation contains material filmed but cut from the finished version such as Ace's jealousy of the Brigadier and her quoting of Clarke's Law. (This material is included in the extended VHS and DVD versions.)
• At the close, the Doctor ruminates on how the Earth authorities are negotiating Morgaine and Mordred's fate with their own dimension and how the mechanism for replacing Morgaine as ruler has broken down, before the Brigadier announces that he has had a job offer that will be hard to turn down.

"Ghost Light"

• An extra opening sequence details the young Ace's visit to Gabriel Chase and the Doctor steering the TARDIS there.
• The novelisation includes several scenes and lines that were scripted and/or filmed but cut from the televised version: Ace tipping Josiah off by messing about with a phone and the Doctor saying they have to go out and be invited in; the Doctor playing a boogie-woogie on the piano; Gwendoline visiting Redvers; Mackenzie trying to leave the house and being stopped by Light; Mrs Pritchard telling a maid to attack Mackenzie; and Nimrod handing in his notice to Josiah (a scene rehearsed for the televised version, but never actually recorded).
• Ace finds cave paintings in the passage leading to the stone spaceship. These were to have featured in the televised version, but had to be omitted for reasons of cost.
• Ace sees Control on her first visit to the spaceship. Mrs Grose also sees her and tells the Doctor she is resigning.
• When Light emerges from the lift, he walks straight through the Doctor standing in his path; an effect planned for the televised version, but which eventually proved impossible to achieve on-screen.
• Light travels around the world viewing the lifeforms there.
• It is implied that Josiah brought the ship back to Earth while Light slept.
• Control plans to get Josiah better quarters eventually.
• There is a lot of insight into the Doctor's mental processes, better explaining his motivation at various points.

"The Curse of Fenric"

• The novelisation includes an epilogue that leaves Ace (now called Dorothee) in Paris. The Doctor Who New Adventures novel Set Piece sets out the events which lead up and into this eventuality.
• Millington causing Judson's disability is elaborated on; he broke his back during a rugby match, going in hard out of jealousy after seeing Judson exchanging looks with another player.
• Judson's ULTIMA project is said to be a result of Interservice Rivalry — the Navy want their own equivalent of Turing's group at Bletchley Park.
• The Doctor recites the names of his past companions to overcome the Haemovores: Susan, Ian, Barbara, Vicki, Steven, Jo and Sarah Jane.
• Prozorov frequently thinks of his wife Irena and daughter. It is mentioned that he and Sorin investigated the deaths in Transylvania.
• Vershinin's rank is given as corporal, which is not clear on screen.

• The Ancient Haemavore helps Fenric because he believes he will return him to his own time.
• Ace mistakes the Doctor's reference to the flask coming from the Orient, believing he means Leyton Orient Football Club.

The TV Movie

• A short prologue titled "The Changing Faces of Doctor Who", about the demise of the Eighth Doctor and legacy of the War Doctor.
• The Seventh Doctor reminisces about Ace, once offering her to stay at Gallifrey Academy although she declined, being a space mercenary or at a French royal court and he eventually recently spied on her A Charitable Earth activities.
• The Seventh Doctor's journey to collect the remains in the empty courtroom on what is now described to be Skaro is fully written, escaping from a Dalek sentry.
• The first chapter and a half goes into more detail about aspects of the TARDIS and how and why the Doctor got the Master's remains. In particular, the early part of the book suggests the Seventh Doctor has only just changed the TARDIS interior. Though possible, there's no on-screen evidence the interior has been recently changed. The Seventh Doctor seems quite settled in his surroundings. Stories in other media have contradicted this. In particular, many Big Finish Productions audios posit the Seventh Doctor well-ensconced in the telemovie's console room. Notably, mention is made of a church organ taken from Cheldon Bonniface, a village visited twice in New Adventures novels Timewyrm: Revelation and Happy Endings and a koi pond filled with gumblejack.
• The box containing the Master's ashes is described as containing little more than two crystallised eyes and residue — hypnotic even in death.
• The novel features Lee and the Master not only seeing the Seventh Doctor in the Eye of Harmony, but all seven previous Doctors. (This was also to have been the case for the televised version, but Universal Pictures were unable to obtain the necessary clearance rights to use the images.)
• The Master is not stated to have recently used up an "extra" life, but the Doctor lists to Grace some ways he used to prolonge this final incarnation: Traken, Xeriphas, the Cheetah People and the Tzun Confederacy
• The Master states that Lee could open the Eye of Harmony because its defence mechanism works on Time Lords while humans were not even considered.
• The Doctor explicitly states that the Eye of Harmony in his TARDIS is linked to the one on Gallifrey. To open the eye, he elaborates would be like, "driving your car down a freeway at seventy, climbing onto the hood and putting your hand into the heart of the engine."
• Grace asks the Doctor if he is married, he answers that he has grand daughter he should go back to and wonders if he has great grand children.
• During the final battle between the Master and the Doctor, the Master leaves Bruce's body and becomes a bleached silhouette of a man.
• The Master is seen with the Doctor's face when attemtping to steal his body.
• After the Doctor dematerialises, Grace wonders if she was right not to stay with him and if she could get back her job.

New Series novelisations

"Rose"

• Rose is recalling these events from Bad Wolf Bay.
• The novelisation includes the scene from the end of "The End of Time" where the Tenth Doctor visits Rose right before his regeneration. Rose remembers that day just before she runs into the Doctor, and is still irritated by how 2005 had been working out for her so far.
• Mickey's family expanded on:
  • His mother Odessa was friends with Jackie in The '80s and along with other friends Sarah, Suzie and Bev, became known as "The Wednesday Girls", as every Wednesday night, they all went out for wine and chips. As her relationship with her husband Jackson deteriorated, Odessa relied on the the group to cheer her up for the one night of laughter of the week; other nights were darker. Jackie would later say that Odessa "could never really cope with money, with men, or anything really" and Rose said that she "just couldn't cope". In 1989, when Mickey was five, she wandered into her room and quietly committed suicide.
  • Jackson was working as an engineer and a part time singer at the time and was horrified to find himself a single dad and worked longer and longer hours and further further away from home until he found a job on the cruise ships moored alongside Tower Bridge. He was employed as the Second Engineer, but has aspirations to move up and sing on the ships. A two month contract was followed by a six month contract and then another, and Mickey never saw his father again. According to Rose, Jackson "just wandered off".
  • His grandmother Rita-Anne was known as a "firebrand, meddler and a troublemaker", took Mickey into her own home not long after his father abandoned him, but kept him in the same school and ensured he remained in close contact with his friends from the Powell Estate. On his sixteenth birthday, she put him on the housing list of the Powell Estate and pushed him to move back to be closer to his friends. Rose described her as "such a great woman" who would always slap Mickey around. Three hundred people came to her funeral, for she was an extremely beloved woman, and the residents of Waterton Street closed the roads off to have a party in her memory.
• Three of Mickey's mates live in his flat and they form the Bad Wolf band. One is a trans woman named Sally, the others are two young men named Mook and Patrique who are attracted to each other.
• The Powell Estate has two towers, unofficially called Enoch and Powell, of sixteen floors, with six flats per storey rising above a squat quadrant with shops on the ground level including a chemist, a newsagent, Dev the bookie's, and Chicken Shack & Rack.
• Clive shows Rose pictures of incarnations other than the Ninth Doctor: He seems to know the first thirteen known incarnations of the Doctor, except the War Doctor. Rose was distracted when being shown pictures of "a man with two suits, brown and blue". The shown Doctors include "an old man with white hair and a black cape"; "a little man with a Beatles mop of hair"; "a man with a fabulous grey bouffant with a hovercraft; a "man in [a] long scarf", by the Thames next to the Loch Ness Monster; "a rather hot blond man at Heathrow Airport; "a curly-haired man [...] dressed as a picnic"; "a short man with an umbrella"; "a dashing, Byronic man" at an atomic clock opening; "a man with a fantastic jaw, dressed in a tweed jacket and bow tie"; "an older, angry man in a brown caretaker's coat, holding a mop", as well as; a photo of "a blonde woman in braces running away from a giant frog in front of Buckingham Palace".
  • He has photos of them in folders in incarnation order, seeing that the Ninth Doctor was in a box-file labeled "09". He also has two pictures of possible Doctors, including "a tall, bald black woman wielding a flaming sword" and "a young girl or boy in a hi-tech wheelchair with what looked like a robot dog at their side".
• Clive explains to Rose that his father was present during the Shoreditch Incident of 1963. It is revealed that he was exterminated by an Imperial Dalek when Clive was two years of age. This led Clive to begin his research into 'the Doctor'. Rose empathises with him and explains that her own father died when she was six months old.
• Clive met his wife Caroline at Durham University when his UFO society and her Reclaim the Night Enclave groups had both booked the same venue. His group left, but Caroline tracked him down to a bar where she apologised. They talked together through the night. They later married and had two sons, Ben and Michael. At some point, Clive became an estate agent.
• The original broadcast contained an unintended error where TV presenter Graham Norton's voice was heard over a scene. This is included in the narrative with his voice being heard on a radio in the background.
• The Doctor wonders why he's never been ginger while examining his reflection, a disappointment which will carry onto his immediate successors.
• Rose tells Mickey that Clive is helping her with her compensation.
• Mickey lets the Nestene-controlled wheelie bin out through a gate.
• The duplicate of Mickey threatens to kill the people in the restaurant if Rose doesn't tell him about the Doctor.
• The Doctor and Rose encounter a group of Autons posing as statue people near the river.
• The Doctor tells Rose that the Time War rewrote the Nestene's history so it is now made of plastic instead of just controlling it.
• Rose notices the cut the Doctor got when the table smashed has disappeared and he says twelve weeks have passed for him. During that time he has fought a pterodactyl.
• The Doctor tries to convince the Nestene to colonise an empty planet.
• The first Mickey that Rose finds in the Nestene lair is another duplicate, who she lets slip about the anti-plastic to, ending the Doctor's negotiations.
• The Auton massacre is told from the point of view of several victims, including Rose's old boyfriend Jimmy Stone who is robbing his current girlfriend when he is killed. We even cut away to Donna and Wilfred, missing out on the invasion.
• Rose's past relationship with Jimmy Stone is explored - she dumped Mickey for him at sixteen while sitting her A-levels. Jimmy eventually ran off with her computer. When Rose returned, she saw that Mickey had (inadvertently) remained faithful, and got back with him.
• The Doctor shows Rose and Mickey the view outside the TARDIS doors.

"Dalek"

• The story features a prologue, an epilogue, and some parts from the POV of some of the characters.

She joined the FBI after being inspired by her dead father, who been a cop, and excelling in her exams.

Adam and Sven shared a room, which Adam disliked. One night, as with all newbies, he was abducted by guards led by Simmons and taken to see the captive Dalek, which he named the Metaltron. Adam followed Goddard’s advice, which caught Van Statten's favour. Van Statten asked him if he wanted a room of his own, which Adam accepted despite being warned actions had consequences. In response Van Statten had Sven’s memories wiped in front of him, which led to Adam deciding to stockpile alien weapons under his bed to escape the same fate.
