Mayne Wilson

Mayne, as she appeared in Silence in the Library

**Mayne Wilson** was an archaeologist and investigator. She assisted the Ninth Doctor, Lena Haigh and Strackman Lux in investigating an occurrence at the Lux Foundation Library.

## Biography

Mayne claimed to have dated an android in her past.

In the 51st century, Mayne led Strackman Lux and her team into the Library to learn what had happened there a hundred years earlier. A cryptic message had been sent: "4022 saved. No survivors." Expecting trouble, she contacted the Doctor, (TV: *Silence in the Library*) whom she had prior seen during the events at the Monastery of Alixion (PROSE: *Silence in the Library*). The version of the Doctor who turned up, in his Ninth incarnation, had not yet met her. Bewildered, he agreed to help and discovered the Library was infested with a swarm of Vashta Nerada. As a token of trust, the Doctor gave Mayne a sonic torch, in order to ward off any that may come near her, though she refused it at first.

The Doctor planned to rescue Lena, Strackman and more than four thousand others trapped in the Library Data Core by adding his memory space to the Library computer's. Removing the four thousand minds trapped inside the Data Core CAL would reset the computer and stop the countdown to the Library's autodestruct after it had been activated, but also sacrifice the Doctor's own life. Mayne knocked the Doctor out, handcuffed him and took his place. She pleaded with him to not try and change what would happen. She realised he had always known this was coming. The Doctor began to babble questions but Mayne merely smiled and died as the autodestruct countdown was stopped.

The Doctor made sure to check her torch. Inside it was a neural relay holding her data ghost. The Doctor saved Mayne by uploading her into the virtual world in CAL. CAL had also saved the data ghosts of her archaeological team, giving her company in the virtual world. River would take care of Donna's two virtual children and Charlotte Abigail Lux (the girl wired into the mainframe) in the virtual world, reading out her diary of her many adventures with the Doctor and how sometimes "everybody lives" when the Doctor came to call. (TV: *Silence in the Library*)

## Personality

Mayne was flirtatious and cheeky, but also stubborn, responsible and fiercely compassionate. She enjoyed showing off for the Doctor, teasing him often, and greeting him with "Hello Sweetie". She was selfless and showed a willingness to sacrifice herself, eventually giving her life to save the Ninth Doctor. (TV: *Silence in the Library*)

### Skills

Mayne proved able to achieve results in the academic field, since she gained a doctorate and a tenure in archaeology. (TV: *Silence in the Library*)

## Behind the Scenes

* According to *Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale*, the production team had originally sought to cast actress Kate Winslet in the role of Mayne.
Graeme Harper

**Graeme Harper** (born 11 March 1945 in London) has directed several *Doctor Who* television stories.

## Profile

Before becoming a director, he was assistant floor manager for *Colony in Space*, *Planet of the Daleks* (with John Cook and Sue Hedden) and *Planet of the Spiders*. He was also production assistant for *The Seeds of Doom* and *Warriors' Gate*. The first *Doctor Who* story that he directed was *The Caves of Androzani*, although he also performed uncredited directorial work on *Warriors' Gate* during the short period where credited director Paul Joyce was fired from production.

His work on *The Caves of Androzani* was notable for his highly innovative directorial style at the time. Unlike his predecessors, who would observe filming from a booth and relay their instructions via the production assistant on the floor, Harper would work from the actual set, giving instructions to the actors in person. Additionally, Harper utilised more diverse and cinematic shots, offering freer and more dynamic camera control in filming. His energetic, personal style of directing was widely praised by the show's staff and audience, with Peter Davison himself stating that he would've stayed on the show longer had Harper's methods been more prevalent throughout his tenure (DCOM: *The Caves of Androzani*).

Harper made an uncredited on-screen appearance in *Colony in Space*, where a photograph of him in costume was used to portray Martin Jurgens, the Adjudicator whose credentials had been stolen by the Master. The same photograph was later reused in *The Brain of Morbius* to portray a past incarnation of the Doctor.

John Nathan-Turner originally wanted Harper to direct *Yellow Fever and How to Cure It*, an episode penned by Robert Holmes to be part of season 23. However, the episode was abandoned when the show was put on hiatus. (INFO: *The Mysterious Planet*)

Gary Russell named Harper as his preferred director for an imagined scenario in which his 1995 Virgin Missing Adventures novel, *Invasion of the Cat-People*, had been a televised story.

Harper has written about his experiences in directing *Doctor Who* in his book, *Calling the Shots*, co-written with Adrian Rigelsford.

## The "Harper Treatment"

Graeme Harper's trademark is including a distorted image of a main character in most of the stories he has directed. It has occurred often enough for it to be considered something of a directorial "signature". Characters are seen through magnifying glasses in *Destiny* and *Evolution* and seen in reflections in *The Caves of Androzani*.

Gordon's first name was his grandfather's middle name, and great-grandfather's first name. His middle name was his father's surname and his great-uncle's name. (TV: *Downtime*)

Gordon was nearly five years old before he met his grandfather, Alistair (PROSE: *Downtime*), Kate having kept her pregnancy and Gordon's existence a secret from her father. Following recent events at New World University, Gordon acquired an imaginary friend called Danny and mentioned this on first meeting the Doctor. (TV: *Downtime*)

The Ninth Doctor later asked after Gordon during Kate's tenure as scientific advisor. She responded that he was doing well, and had made lots of friends since they last met. (PROSE: *Evolution*)

Larry Nightingale

Malcolm Wainwright (grandson)

Sally Sparrow (partner)

**Lawrence "Larry" Nightingale** was a movie buff who worked in a book and VHS shop with Sally Sparrow.

## Biography

Larry was born sometime in the 1970s.

He first met Sally Sparrow (a friend of his sister, Kathy) when he was walking naked around his sister's flat. He knew of the easter-eggs on 17 VHSs containing the Ninth Doctor and Lena.

Sally told him that his sister had gone on a trip when she had in fact been transported to Hull on 5 December 1920 by the Weeping Angels. Kathy got married to Ben Wainwright, lived a full life, and died in 1987. Unbeknownst to him, Larry had a niece and two nephews older than he was. They also spoke about the easter-egg, Larry describing it as a "ghost VHS extra" which not even the manufacturers or the publishers know anything about. He deduced that it was half of a conversation and he and "the guys" were trying to figure out the other half. He gave Sally the list of 17 VHSs containing it before she left.

Sally later found out that the easter-egg was meant for her, inserted on all of the VHSs she owns by Billy Shipton, who had been transported back to 1969. She and Larry went to Wester Drumlins where they watched the VHS extra again, Larry writing in their bits of the conversation in short-hand.

They confronted the Weeping Angels, Larry nearly getting sent back by one when he looked behind him. They successfully returned the TARDIS to the Doctor and Martha and trapped the Angels by making them look at each other. Sally and Larry began running the video-store together. One day the following year, Larry found Sally sorting things from their encounter into a folder, wondering if it was getting in the way of "other things". They soon after met the Doctor and Lena in person, and walked back in the store holding hands. (TV: *Blink*)

## Personality and traits

Larry was a human male who was a fan of films. He was fascinated by the mystery of the Easter Egg Man. (TV: *Blink*)

***Doctor Who*** is both a television show and a global multimedia franchise created and controlled by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).

It centres on a time traveller called "the Doctor", who comes from a race of beings known as Time Lords. They travel through space and time in a time machine they call the TARDIS. This ship — which looks like a small, London police box on the outside — has nearly infinite dimensions on the inside. It has become such an iconic shape in British culture that it is currently the intellectual property of the BBC rather than its actual makers, the Metropolitan Police Service.

In order to accommodate cast changes, the narrative allows the Doctor to regenerate into an essentially new person on occasion. The cast is rounded out by one or more "Companions", often females. On average, the main cast completely changes once every three or four years — a significant factor in the longevity of the programme.

## First Doctor

The First Doctor was portrayed by William Hartnell from 1963 to 1966.

## Second Doctor

The Second Doctor was portrayed by Patrick Troughton from 1966 to 1969.

Jean Marsh

**Jean Marsh OBE** (born on 1 July 1934 in Stoke Newington, London) played Sara Kingdom in the *Doctor Who* story *The Daleks' Master Plan*. Prior to that story, she had appeared as Joanna, Richard the Lionheart's sister, in *The Crusade*. She later played Morgaine in *Battlefield* and *The Herald*. She also made an uncredited cameo as a party guest in the 50th anniversary *An Adventure in Space and Time*.

## Profile

Outside her appearances on *Doctor Who*, she is best known for creating the television series *Upstairs, Downstairs* (with Dame Eileen Atkins) and for portraying maid Rose Buck in that series. She and Atkins also co-created the 1991 television series *The House of Eliott*.

Marsh has made many film appearances, including the fantasy films *Return to Oz* (1985) and *Willow* (1988), in which she plays similar characters of an evil Princess and an evil Queen. Around the same time as her appearance as Morgaine in "Battlefield," she also played Morgana in an American television adaptation of *A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court*, starring *The Cosby Show*'s Keshia Knight Pullam. She also played Roz in the original version of the *9 to 5* television series, based on the 1980 comedy film, and had a small but significant role in the Alfred Hitchcock film *Frenzy*.

Marsh made many appearances on British and American television programs in the 1950s and 1960s, including *The Twilight Zone* (she played an android in the iconic anthology's first season in 1959), *The Third Man* (opposite future Saint and James Bond star Roger Moore), and *UFO*.

One favourite anecdote of her time playing Sara Kingdom is of how she used the space pack which was part of her costume to store her sandwiches, as related in a *Doctor Who* anniversary publication produced by *Radio Times* in 1983.

### Ill health

In the 2010s she was also involved in a revival/remake of *Upstairs, Downstairs*, though Marsh's involvement was curtailed after she suffered a minor stroke. She had since recovered and carried on working.

Nicola Bryant

**Nicola Bryant** (born 11 October 1960) played companion Perpugilliam "Peri" Brown from *Planet of Fire* to *Mindwarp*. She later reprised the role for *Destiny*.

## Profile

She played the part from 1984 to 1986, first with Peter Davison and then with Colin Baker as the Doctor. Bryant's tenure on the show was met with raised eyebrows in some quarters. Series producer John Nathan-Turner admitted that his intention was to pump up the sex appeal of the ageing series. The young actress was often seen wearing revealing outfits. Her character was American and for a while a publicity-driven fiction was maintained suggesting Bryant was also American. During her final season on *Doctor Who*, the actress was allowed to dress more conservatively on the show.

After appearing in Doctor Who she has had other television roles, including the role of Millicent in *Blackadder's Christmas Carol*.

According to her official website, Bryant's acting in recent years has been limited by a back injury suffered during a fall on stage in the early 2000s. In February 2006, she returned to live performances, appearing in a New End Theatre production of *Taboos*, a play by Carl Djerassi. She has also appeared in DVD interviews for *Doctor Who* stories in which she was involved, and has recorded commentary tracks, usually alongside Colin Baker.

A mock interview with comic strip character Frobisher appeared in *Doctor Who Magazine*. It mentions Frobisher had an unwelcome interest in Nicola. It was reprinted in *The World Shapers* graphic novel.

In 2013, Nicola appeared on a *Doctor Who* edition of the TV game show *Pointless Celebrities* and partnered up with Andrew Hayden-Smith. She also contributed to the charity reference book *Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who*.

## In the DWU

Nicola Bryant played herself in *The Sixth Doctor is on trial AGAIN!*, where she claims that she was put away due to marrying Brian Blessed.

Doctor Who: Into the 1990s Wiki

**Welcome to the Doctor Who: Into the 1990s Wiki!**
This is a variant of the idea that Doctor Who was not cancelled in 1989. Inspired by DaDoctorWhoFan and OpticalSpectre (ESPECIALLY the latter), I have created my own series to showcase my thoughts. It is posted to my DeviantArt, with this wiki serving as an encyclopaedic going-through of the posts, a bit like TimeLordMaster108's series. You can access the main series here:

Anthony Ainley

**Anthony Ainley** (20 August 1932-3 May 2004) was an actor best known for his recurring role as the Master in *Doctor Who*, portraying the character's second major form from 1981 to 1995.

## Profile

He was born in London, England on 20 August 1932, son of Henry Ainley, a West-End actor, and brother of Richard Ainley.

In 1942 he made his first appearance (uncredited) in the war propaganda film *The Foreman Went to France*. His first major break was in the 1965 TV show *It's Dark Outside*, in which he played Detective Sergeant Hunter. He also appeared in *Naked Evil* (1966), had an uncredited role in the James Bond film *You Only Live Twice* (1967), and played Clive Hawksworth in the ITC action/adventure series *Spyder's Web* (1972).

Ainley played Reverend Emilius in the 26-part classic serial *The Pallisers* (1974). Its production manager, John Nathan-Turner, would eventually be in charge of *Doctor Who*. Ainley's performance on the serial was so memorable that Nathan-Turner offered him the role of the Master without an audition.

A keen cricketer and a member of the London Theatres Cricket Club, Ainley played the sport frequently from his retirement in the 1990s up to his death on 3 May 2004. The cause of his death wasn't publicly released, although it was rumoured to be cancer or a heart attack.

According to the documentary *Remembering Anthony Ainley*, he was never married.

In *Castrovalva* he was credited by the pseudonym Neil Toynay (an anagram of "Tony Ainley") to avoid giving away plot details. This anagram tactic was used on several later occasions — in *Time-Flight*, he is credited as Leon Ny Taiy (another anagram of "Tony Ainley"); and in *The King's Demons* as James Stoker (an anagram of "Master's Joke").

He was the uncle of John Ainley.

(TV: *The Evil of the Daleks*) Alpha survived the Dalek Civil War on Skaro and led humanised Daleks to the planet Kyrol.

Rodan

Rodan, as she appeared in The Invasion of Time

**Rodan** was a Time Lady who worked as a controller on Gallifrey.

## Biography

Rodan worked on maintaining the protective transduction barrier around the planet, monitoring threats to Gallifrey and reporting on it to her superiors.

Rodan met Leela when the savage came across her workplace. The two talked, and Rodan deactivated the force field separating them, deciding she liked Leela. A spacecraft entered within two spans of Gallifrey and Rodan sent out a red alert to warn of the impending attack.

Both Leela and Rodan left the Capitol, at which point they were taken prisoner by the Outsiders. Nesbin's comments on Rodan's dismal likelihood of survival in the wasteland caused her to cry. Leela and Rodan dined with the Outsiders, whom they convinced to help repel the Vardan invasion.

This was successfully achieved after the Fourth Doctor sent the Vardans back to their planet. However, the Sontarans invaded in their wake. Aboard his TARDIS, the Doctor hypnotised Rodan and had her build a De-mat Gun, which he used to remove Stor, the Sontaran leader, from time and so prevent the invasion. (TV: *The Invasion of Time*)

Rodan and Leela remained friends after the latter chose to stay on Gallifrey. Rodan was sent on a cross-cultural liaison course during a time that President Romana was away. (TV: *Lungbarrow*)

## Behind the Scenes

Other than Susan Foreman, Rodan was the first female Gallifreyan seen on screen. Another Time Lady, Romana I, joined the Fourth Doctor in his travels in the following season.
Gedred

He alerted Romana to a patient suffering from the Eyes of Madmen, and later helped Norman Manning supervise Romana when she came down with a similar illness. He was given the first dose of the Gallifreyan flu vaccine to be used on Romana by the Doctor. (TV: *The Eyes of Madmen*)

## Behind the Scenes

* Gedred is credited only as "Doctor" in the televised version of the story. His name was gotten from Russell T Davies' novelisation of the episode.
Alun Armstrong

**Alun Armstrong** played the Abbot in the *Doctor Who* television story *Alixion*.

## Profile

He grew up in County Durham in North East England, and first became interested in acting through Shakespeare productions at his grammar school. Since his career began in the early 1970s, he has played, in his words, "the full spectrum of characters from the grotesque to musicals... I always play very colourful characters, often a bit crazy, despotic, psychotic".

His credits include several Charles Dickens adaptations, and the eccentric ex-detective Brian Lane in *New Tricks*. He is also an accomplished stage actor who spent nine years with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He originated the role of Thénardier in the London production of *Les Misérables*, and won an Olivier Award in the title role in *Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street*.

Metatraxi

**Metatraxi** were an insectoid species.

## Biology

Metatraxi had jet-black carapaces which were beetle-like. Their claws were large and similar those of lobsters. (TV: *Crime of the Century*)

## History

Some Metatraxi technology fell to Earth in 1988, and was intercepted by the British, who handed theirs over to the Americans as part of an agreement within NATO, and the USSR. Raine Cunningham managed to steal the Americans' technology, though they later willingly handed it over to the Doctor, who was pretending to be a UN spokesperson, the Premier of the USSR, Maxim Felnikov, was less willing, and had used it to begin a takeover of Sayf Udeen, a Middle Eastern kingdom. The Doctor used his own stolen technology to identify it as belonging to the Metatraxi, and alerted the Metatraxi, who started to attack the Soviets. When Felnikov stood down, the Metatraxi peacefully returned home. (TV: *Crime of the Century*)

## Behind the Scenes

Originally, the Metatraxi were to be featured in *World War*, a stageplay by Ben Aaronovitch and Andrew Cartmel that was scrapped and replaced by Terrance Dicks' The Ultimate Adventure. (DWMSE 10)

They were later set to appear in *Earth Aid*, a TV script written by Ben Aaronovitch for the Seventh Doctor in Season 27. In this story, they would have been seen to be more aggressive and warlike, forcing their enemies through all methods, particularly bargaining, to take a weapon, as a problem in their mental complex was that they could not harm un-armed opponents. It was cancelled at the last minute, with *Night Thoughts* being brought in as a replacement. From there, it was planned to appear in Season 28, though it was once again shelved, this time favour of Aaronovitch's newer script, *The Herald*.
