Night Thoughts

Night Thoughts is the first story in Season 28. It was written by Edward Young, directed by Chris Clough and featured Richard Griffiths as The Doctor and Lisa Bowerman as Katie Tollinger.

## Night Thoughts

### Director

Chris Clough

Synopsis

A remote Scottish mansion; five bickering academics are haunted by ghosts from their past. Reluctantly they offer shelter to the Doctor and his companion Katie.

Katie tries to befriend the young housemaid, Sue. Sue knows secrets. She knows why the academics have assembled here, and she knows why they are all so afraid. But Sue's lips are sealed, preferring to communicate through her disturbing toy, Happy the Rabbit.

And then the killing begins. Gruesome deaths that lead the Doctor and his friends to discover the grisly truth behind the academics' plans, and - as the ghosts of the past become ghosts of the present - to recognise that sometimes death can be preferable to life.

Development

This story was originally planned to be in Season 27 but was pushed back to Season 28.

An early draft of this story had it snowing outside.

In this early draft, the characters would encounter illusions. One of these illusions was the Doctor And Katie coming across their dead bodies

The story was initially just three parts long, however when it was decided to make Night Thoughts the first story for the Eighth Doctor, Edward Young was asked to add an extra part at the start that would feature the main cast in the TARDIS and the Doctor getting used to his new body.

One part of the ending was cut from the final version of the script for being too dark. It would have shown Major Dickens being killed by Happy the Rabbit. In the final version of part four his fate is left ambiguous.

## The Feast Of The Stone

### Director

Sandy Johnson

Synopsis

The TARDIS has been trapped on a dead, forgotten world, its arrival in a sealed subterranean cavern sending vibrations through the rock. The chamber is acting as a “stone tape,” the Doctor observes, preserving living shadows and eternal hunger. Exploring the cave, Alison is overwhelmed by psionic stimulation, wave after wave of emotional memories drowning out her consciousness. Caught in the grip of shadows that emerge from the darkness, she takes her place atop a blood-stained sacrificial altar. As the Doctor desperately struggles to release her, he discovers the terrible truth driving this ravenous  force. There is a great evil that dwells within the TARDIS, too. The unrivalled hatred and malice in the soul of the Master has aroused the hunger of an insatiable psionic parasite. His very presence aboard the TARDIS may ensure its doom.

Overview

Doctor Number Eleven

This season was significant for being the first to feature Jim Broadbent as The Doctor, now in his Eleventh incarnation. In contrast to some of the more recent iterations of the Doctor, his version would be more light-hearted whilst also retaining the coldness as this would play out throughout his era.

A Farewell to Alison

It was announced shortly before the season began that Sophie Okonedo had left Doctor Who, with her character leaving in the finale. Russell T Davies commented saying that her departure will hit the viewers heavier than the past few.

## Barge of the Dead

### Director

Brian Grant

Synopsis

A great stone funeral barge moves through space, its course set for a fateful rendezvous. Venturing aboard, the Doctor and Alison find that this floating tomb serves as the resting place of Sebek, an ancient and powerful Osiran. Though the Doctor is relieved to know that the infamously savage crocodile god has long since passed on, he soon realizes that their presence has returned life to this previously dormant crypt. Mechanical scarabs scuttle in shadows, crocodilian warriors rise from stasis, and servicer robots resume their patrols of the stone labyrinths. When Alison encounters a gang of tomb raiders in the depths of the ship’s vast treasure vaults, an unpredictable new element is added to an already volatile mix. Some of these scavengers are after more than mere riches, breaking down the walls that divide the living and the dead. In the throne room, a colossal corpse stirs. Sebek the Rager—God of Crocodiles, Pointed of Teeth, the Strength of the Pharaohs—has been reborn!

### Director

Euros Lyn

Synopsis

Gustaf Heinrich Urnst is a man whose name has fallen into legend. Once upon a time, the fabled writer, explorer, and occultist’s foolhardy forays into the great unknown left him stranded on twentieth century Earth. Now, the Doctor desperately needs his help in resolving a conundrum of cosmic scale. What is the origin of the mysterious standing stones discovered on a number of disparate planets? What secrets do their indecipherable hieroglyphics conceal? And what role do these alien objects play in bringing about mass extinction?

Arriving at Urnst’s New England estate, the Doctor and Riddell discover that the man is missing once more—along with great swaths of his house! In the cellar is a single stone stele, an alien artefact that pulses with a strange and dreadful power. In a flash the Doctor and his companion find themselves atop the Andes mountain range, fighting for their lives as they navigate a lethal labyrinth of blood-thirsty living rock. At its centre, John Riddell finds himself face to face with an old rival, and the Doctor discovers the horrible truth behind a mystery that has haunted him throughout his travels. There is an eldritch evil that has reached across the galaxy to deliver death to a hundred worlds. Here, on the planet Earth, it has touched the mind of Gustaf Urnst—and he has been hideously transformed.

The Starmind is powerful, adaptive, intent—and it has gone mad! Aboard a Viyran command ship, the Doctor, Riddell, and Flo learn the incredible history of this marvel of stellar engineering as they desperately attempt to outrun it. Its intentions are ominous and its target is clear, for the rogue sun is on a direct course for the Shadow Proclamation—stronghold of justice, hallowed font of galactic law, and the foremost repository of strategic information regarding countless civilizations.

Upon reaching the Shadow Proclamation’s base of operations in the heart of an asteroid field, the Doctor witnesses a most innovative invasion. A new star takes its place in the heavens and begins its slow takeover of the base’s photonic computer systems using nothing more than the pervasive, relentless power of sunlight. Soon, the unparalleled defences of the galaxy’s greatest law enforcement agency are turned against them, and the resulting chaos leads the Doctor and his companions to uncover inconvenient truths. There is a dark side to the justice of the Shadow Architects, and the Doctor will have to expose their secrets if he hopes to use the dark to overcome the light.

## Time And Tide

### Director

Christine Gernon

Synopsis

On the eve of one of the greatest tragedies in maritime history, the Doctor and Alison board the RMS Titanic. Alison is troubled by the prospect of playing a role in the disaster, but the Doctor is insistent: the ship must sink if the timeline is to remain intact. A strange apprehension has gripped Captain Edward Smith, however, inspiring him to take certain precautions that may well undermine fate. As the Doctor and Alison begin a frantic investigation, they feel as if their movements are being tracked by a number of marble statues, artful sculptures that seem able to move about the ship of their own free will. A familiar force has stowed away aboard Titanic, a force intent on corrupting the future of the human race. With the Doctor doing everything in his power to preserve the tragic course of history, time itself becomes an enemy. At 23:40 ship’s time, Titanic collides with an iceberg. From that moment on, everything and everyone remaining aboard is destined to reach the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean—including the Doctor, Alison, and the TARDIS!

The Cetacean Job

The Cetacean Job was the seventh story in Season 39 of Doctor Who. It was written by Khadim Nasser, directed by Joe Ahearne and featured Jim Broadbent as the Doctor, Alan Dale as Riddell and Robert Bathurst as Flo.

## The Cetacean Job

### Director

Joe Ahearne

Synopsis

In the remarkable region of space known as the Medusa Cascade, star whales roam free. The Doctor recognizes these gentle beasts as one of the most majestic lifeforms in the universe, a spaceborne cetacean that migrates through the space between the stars. He also recognizes the eggs of these endangered wonders as utterly priceless. So when a platoon of Judoon locks down a Hath starship and announces that just such an egg has been stolen, the Doctor has questions regarding this impossible crime. Just how would one steal the egg of a star whale? And why? The Judoon don’t know how, and they don’t know why, but they’re not the type to waste time asking questions. They’ve already made an arrest and proving the suspect’s guilt is treated as nothing more than a technicality.

After speaking with the accused, the Doctor and Riddell launch an investigation of their own. Aboard this curious aquatic vessel on a mission of cultural exchange, there is no shortage of unusual suspects. The rebellious teenage stowaway from Raxacoricofallapatorius doesn’t trust anyone, and the larger-than-life Adiposean envoy can’t keep his mouth shut. The Hath cultural liaison has her own seemingly ridiculous agenda, and no one is sure if the glowing cube that’s been sent from the Cygnus system is even a lifeform at all. It will take some real detective work to explain the who, the why, and the how of the most astonishing heist in the cosmos!
