kris-mas n. : 1: the annual festival of Christ's birth, usu. celebrated on 25 Dec. 2: the season in which this occurs.

"And, incidentally, a happy Christmas to all of you at home!" - *Doctor Who: The Feast of Steven* by Terry Nation

Christmas and *Doctor Who* are inextricably linked. From the moment the Daleks first appeared at yule-tide to the regular Annual under the tree, the spooky cosiness of the season has always chimed with the series's own brand of comfortable thrill.

This collection covers every aspect of *Doctor Who* at Christmas, from the Fourth Doctor and Romana wisecracking their way through opening their presents to the Seventh Doctor encountering a dangerous something from Christmas past; from the Sixth Doctor running into another Christmas TV institution to the Eighth Doctor's lonely vigil in a frozen landscape. The Fifth Doctor visits an old companion, the First Doctor lands in a house where Christmas doesn't go as planned, while the Second Doctor finds he has to have a serious chat with Santa Claus. And Bernice Summerfield experiences Christmas on the Braxiatel Collection. Unfortunately.

There are hidden links between many of the stories, which are themselves arranged like a symmetrical snowflake. This being Christmas, alongside the tales, there are instructions for building your own Who adventure game, a monster party game (careful how you play it!), poems both nostalgic and jolly — including one by accomplished poet Jo Fletcher — and four delicious Christmas recipes with a *Doctor Who* makeover, making this a real stocking-filler of a compendium, the ideal gift for followers of the show, young and old.

Bloodtide

**Bloodtide** is a Main Range audio drama featuring the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn meeting Charles Darwin, and the Silurians.

## Summary

The prehistoric Earth is dying. Thunderclouds roll across the skies, cloaking the land in darkness. The seas crash and boil as the rain turns to acid. The remnants of the Silurian race place themselves in suspended animation, deep below the surface.

One day they will awaken and reclaim their world…

The TARDIS has landed on the Galapagos Islands, a desolate outcrop of rocks shrouded in mist and fear. In the settlement of Baquerizo Moreno, there are rumours that prisoners have been mysteriously disappearing from the gaolhouse. A fisherman has been driven insane by something he saw in the caves. And the Doctor and Evelyn are not the only new arrivals; there is also a young natural philosopher by the name of Charles Darwin…
ABC Doctor Who

ABC Doctor Who is a parody of Doctor Who shown during the Late Show on Australian network ABC.

## Plot

The Fourth Doctor, the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton walk into the TARDIS. The Brigadier expresses amazement at having walked into what on the outside looked like a police box, but on the inside looked like a 'tacky BBC set made from tin foil, colored plastic, and cheap flashing lights'.

Something then explodes, and the Doctor says that they're under attack, to which the normal procedure is to run from side-to-side bumping into things and screaming. The Brigadier expresses disappointment, then says 'alright' and all three start doing that.

The Doctor then announces that it's their old enemies, the Daleks, and the Brigadier tells them not to worry, but to leave this to the British Army. He then turns to the Sergeant and tells him to have his men run around in a completely inefficient manner, firing off weapons which are actually useless, until the Doctor comes up with an ingenious plan.

Benton runs off to comply with this, but the Daleks have already entered the TARDIS, yelling 'Exterminate' and bumping into each other. They then shoot the Doctor, who collapses. The Brigadier is concerned, however the Doctor tells him not to worry, as he's a Time Lord and will regenerate when he dies. The Doctor is then surrounded by green flashing energy, and then stands up as an older man with a beard, before being shot by a Dalek again, disappearing.

The Daleks then bump into each other in an attempt to corner the UNIT soldiers. The Daleks realise that they are stuck, and a man comes on to help them untangle themselves.

This appears to be the end of the show, as an announcer states that it will be followed by Wuthering Heights, however what follows is a grey scale recording of two Daleks yelling 'Heathcliff' and 'Catherine', before bumping into each other. This is followed by a Dalek performing a song from Singin' in the Rain, whilst holding an umbrella.

## Summary

Thirty years on from the Daleks' invasion of Earth, the scars still haven't healed. The survivors inhabit a world thrown back two hundred years, a world of crop shortages and civil unrest. A world where the brightest and best of its young people are drawn to the xenophobic Earth United group.

A world sliding into a new Dark Age, believes Susan Campbell, widow of one of the heroes of the Occupation. A world in need of alien intervention. A world in need of hope.

But as Susan takes drastic action to secure the planet's future, she's oblivious to the fact that her student son, Alex, ensnared by Earth United, is in need of alien intervention too. Or so Alex's great-grandfather thinks.

**Christopher Benton** was the younger brother of soldier John Benton.

## Biography

In 1944 while playing hide and seek with his brother he climbed onto the ruins of an old tower so he could see John from below, John was already under him however and pulled his leg causing Chris to slip and fall to his death.

Not long after the death of Chris, his father was killed by a grenade while fighting in Normandy. John felt responsible for the death of Chris believing he had killed him by accident.

Nok (planet)

**Nok**, officially named *Inakademeri*, was an Earth-like planet and one of the few planets known to be inhabited by intelligent life.

## History

The oldest traces of intelligent life on Nok date back to 18,000 B.C., left behind by an industrial civilisation, capable of, among other things, building monorails. It fell victim to an Omega Cloud at some point, and its capital, Orikon, became a myth among the survivors.

Similar discontinuities repeatedly happened during the following millennia, the most recent around 400 A.D., as more Omega clouds targeted the planet, each time leaving behind enough survivors to kickstart a new civilisation, although none ever evolved to the point of space travel. By the 23rd century, the current inhabitants of Nok were engaged in a planet-wide war, roughly comparing to Earth's World War 1.

## Monuments

Like many other planets targeted by Omega clouds, Nok was at some point visited by the Monument-Makers, who left four equidistant cubic moons orbiting the planet, each measuring 2,147km in length. Two of them were badly charred, evidence of being hit by an Omega cloud.
Arnold Davies

Arnold 'Arnie' Davies is a popular television meteorologist during the 2090's. He fainted live in the middle of a broadcast as a result of Al Dunbar's death. He was then visited by an apparition of Dunbar.

He gained an obsession with AirZone, and during his next weather report went on a tangent about how AirZone's pollution filters are in fact increasing atmospheric pollution levels.
Ian Helm

## Dr Ian Helm

Chief Engineer (2223)

Commissioner of the NAU Park Service (2231)

**Dr Ian Helm** was an engineer working for Kosmik Inc. during Project Hope.

#### Quraqua

During the early stages of Project Hope, Helm oversaw the preparations for the detonation of the Southern ice cap of Quraqua, including the placement of the nuclear charges and the actual detonation. In this capacity, he sabotaged Melanie Truscott's plan to delay the detonation by one hour and was thus indirectly responsible for the death of Richard Wald during the flood following the melting of the ice. Attempts to hold him responsible for this failed, however.

#### Deepsix

By 2223, he had been promoted to Director of Operations for Kosmik's Quraqua operations and was en route to the planet when his ship received a distress call from the NCA Wendy Jay, requiring Kosmik's lander to rescue people stranded on the surface of Maleiva III. Helm, angered about the delay of his mission, but unable to refuse a legally binding request for help, sabotaged the ship and released its lander into hyperspace. The captain, Eliot Penkavic, initially agreed to lie about the incident and blame it on a technical malfunction, but later came clean about Helm's involvement after Kosmik attempted to blame a low-level technician for the episode. This led to a defamation lawsuit against Penkavic. Nevertheless, Helm's future with Kosmik seemed uncertain.

### Later Life

By 2231, Helm was no longer working for Kosmik. Having served a variety of different corporations in the meantime, he had taken on the post of Commissioner of the NAU Park Service.
Captain Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart

**Captain Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart** is the grandfather of Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He served in the British Army is World War I, and was present for the Christmas truce, only because of the Doctor altering the time streams of him and a German soldier. Doing so saved his life. He also made the Doctor promise to look after his family. A promise well kept with the Brigadier.
1985 Cancellation/Hiatus

The 1985 cancellation, later changed to a hiatus, was a period of 18 months in which Doctor Who wasn’t produced. During this time the song Doctor in Distress was released, and the first audio drama was released by the BBC.

The hiatus came suddenly, with the only change made to serie 22’s finale being the removal of the word ‘Blackpool’ from the Doctor’s last line.

when the cancellation was changed to a hiatus the plot of series 23 was changed to that of the Trial.
Monuments

The **monuments** were a collection of unnatural, not man-made objects created by the Monument-Makers between 24,000-19,000 B.C. in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. While most of them were assumed to be intended as targets to distract Omega Clouds, at least one of them was clearly artistic and has been interpreted as a self-portrait.

## Discovery

The first monument was discovered on Earth's moon Iapetus by the otherwise unsuccessful Steinitz expedition around the turn of the millennium. It was presumed to be a self-portrait of its creator. Following this discovery, an unambigous confirmation that humanity was not alone in the universe, interest in space exploration rose again and ushered in a new era of spacefaring. The monument itself was turned into a museum, allowing visitors to approach it and stand close enough to touch it.

Several additional monuments were discovered, such as Oz (discovered in 1996), a city-shaped collection of cubes on the only moon of Quraqua. In 2197, thirteen monuments were known. Another momument was found orbiting Nok in 2202.

## Function

While the purpose of the monuments remained unclear for the first two centuries after their discovery, Priscilla Hutchins in 2203 theorised that many of them had been intended to distract Omega clouds from their actual targets. This hypothesis was further solidified after Hutchins, together with Frank Carson and Angela Morgan, delivered proof of the clouds' seeking out right angles, and was considered proven after Carson's excavations on Beta Pacifica III uncovered the history of the Monument-Makers.

The energy unit has disappeared.

A containment team, led by a psychic UNIT operative named Lockwood, has been dispatched. Among Lockwood's abilities is the ability to access all information from any computer mainframe in the world with his mind.

They soon learn that the Nestene energy unity has taken on a mobile form, and that there is an Auton copy of senior archivist Graham Winslet. The real Winslet is still alive, his mind being used by the Autons as a resource of information. The energy unit then merges with the Auton Winslet.

## Summary

"There's a god in the machine - and the god is insane."

In the self-contained Habitat on Dramos, things are getting out of control. Twenty million humans and aliens are at each other's throats, the lid barely held on by the Church of Adjudication, who through their OBERON systems wield absolute power. And we all know what absolute power does.

Other things have been corrupted too. People, human and alien alike, are changing - mutating into something that, if left unchecked, could consume their entire enclosed world.

Arriving in this disintegrating cosmopolitan society, Peri falls in with the charismatic leader of Human First, a movement dedicated to bringing order out of chaos. Meanwhile, the Doctor is powerless, imprisoned and put to the Inquisition by a church that really thinks its God is coming back.

If somebody doesn't do something, and do it soon, nobody's getting out alive.
