25 Glorious Years 25 Glorious Years was a " Doctor Who " reference book published by W . H . Allen . Publisher ' s summary . This is the official " Doctor Who " 25th anniversary book , marking 25 years of BBC television ' s longest running and most successful science fiction series . From its very early beginnings as a 25 - minute black - and - white Saturday evening television series for children , " Doctor Who " has become a national institution and an international success story . With over 110 million viewers in 60 countries , the programme ' s popularity is almost unparalleled in the history of entertainment . When viewed against the background of competing shows on British TV during the past 25 years — particularly the various American series which have been screened — " Doctor Who " stands out as a trail - blazer of astonishing originality . Its strength has been its flexibility , for it is not only the Doctor who has changed over the years , but also his companions , the producers and the scriptwriters who have put together what has become a very complex and highly technical series . In this book Peter Haining draws together and analyses all the elements which have helped retain the vitality and spark of the series over a quarter of a century . John Nathan - Turner , the show ' s producer for the last nine years , and Sylvester McCoy , the seventh and most recent regeneration of the Doctor , discuss their views on this remarkable phenomenon and the author reviews the actors and actresses who have portrayed the " Doctor Who " characters in television , film and stage productions , and the ways in which they have contributed to the development of the various roles . In its early days , the show was a pioneer in the field of TV character merchandising whose subsequent development is unmatched in media history . Much of the souvenir memorabilia , from Dalek and Cybermen figures to TARDIS money - boxes and T - shirts , is now considered valuable by collectors . " Doctor Who " has also been featured in various comics over the years , and this anniversary book chronicles both the multi - million pound merchandising operation and the portrayal of the comic - strip Doctor in print . Probably the biggest disappointment for " Doctor Who " fans throughout the world is that the BBC ' s collection of programmes is incomplete . As a result of a policy adopted by the BBC in the early seventies , a considerable number of the Doctor ' s early adventures were destroyed . Some of these " missing " episodes have amazingly since come to light from various sources , and Peter Haining records the loss and subsequent recovery of certain of these early episodes . " Doctor Who - 25 Glorious Years " celebrates the success of a programme around which a mythology of remarkable complexity has developed . The " Who " phenomenon is truly timeless . With a new generation of viewers meeting the Time Lord for the first time , the show could continue for many years to come . Subject matter . An analysis of the " Doctor Who " phenomenon , marking the 25th anniversary of the series on television .
Frontios Frontios was a colony planet in the Veruna system . It was a desert world , and was often bombarded by sandstorm s and gale force winds . Astronomical data . Frontios ' atmosphere was close to that of Earth — human s , Trions and Time Lord s were able to breathe without special apparatus . The soil composition appeared to be mostly low - level scree and porous rocks . Beneath ground level , there was a vast network of tunnels excavated by the Tractator s to create a gravity motor . Stone suitable for quarrying and building material was also available . History . Frontos lay at the very periphery of the Time Lords ' sphere of knowledge . It became home to a fledgling colony of human refugees in a ship captained by Captain Revere . They were among the last to leave Earth . Frontios was not the original destination of the colony ship — it was pulled off - course by the Tractator s ( led by the Gravis ) and crashed into the planet . The surviving crew and colonists were bombarded with meteor s and randomly selected for enslavement in the Tractators ' excavation machine s . After the removal of the Gravis , the Tractators became harmless , earth - burrowing creatures . No mention was made of their removal from the planet , so most likely they co - habited the planet with the human colonist s . ( TV : " Frontios " )

Continuity supervisor A continuity supervisor or script supervisor — often credited under the shortened title , continuity — is a person tasked with ensuring that scenes filmed out of narrative order make sense when edited into the proper sequence . They thus have to watch carefully as principal photography continues , and take detailed notes as to the daily progress of the film unit . They ensure that actors render the script as precisely as is needed to convey the script writer ' s intended meaning . They also keep an eye on visual details such as costume , make - up and props to maintain the narrative flow of the story , even though it may be filmed out of order . For instance , if the script calls for several versions of the same prop to be used at different stages in the script , the continuity supervisor is ultimately responsible for making sure the actor is holding the correct version of the prop as she says particular lines . The continuity supervisor is also responsible to making sure the actor remembers the emotional " level " of their character at a given moment of a script so that the tone of a building emotion can be preserved across a scene when edited together . In rarer instances , the script editor , who must be familiar with the script at a detailed level , may notice inconsistencies in the script itself , and may recommend on - set changes to the script editor , writer or director . The post has taken on increasing importance throughout the history of the production of " Doctor Who " . In the 1960s , the show was filmed more like a play than a film . Editing was infrequently allowed . Thus , the script supervisors of the day would ' ve only intervened when an incident occurred that would ' ve rendered the captured footage entirely unusable . The task was often performed not by a specialist , but by an assistant director or floor manager . As the show moved to a more disjointed style of production , the role of the continuity supervisor greatly increased . They were particularly useful in matching up scenes partially recorded on location and those completed in studio . In the current BBC Wales version , which is regularly made of around a thousand individual fragments , they are invaluable in keeping order on the set .
