The Doctor Who Work of the late Douglas Adams

The titles below are all click-able. The links lead you to more detail on each story. Each collection is listed in the
chronological broadcast order of the stories.

THE BEGINNING AND THE END

These are the first and last stories of the entire TV series.

An Unearthly Child starring William Hartnell (the first story) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Survival starring Sylvester McCoy (the last regular story) 3 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Survival was the last story of the regular BBC series, but the true last story is now Doctor Who (the TV Movie)
which was co-produced by Universal, the Fox television network, and the BBC in 1996. Due to rights issues, this is
unlikely to ever have a video release in North America.

THE REGENERATIONS

These are all the stories were the Doctor regenerated into a new body. They are consequently also usually the first or
last stories for each actor to have played the part.

The Tenth Planet starring William Hartnell (the first regeneration) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95 Coming out May 8.

The Power of the Daleks starring Patrick Troughton (the aftermath of the first regeneration -
    this is one of the stories missing from the BBC Archives and is consequently not available on video.
    A few clips have survived, however, and these can be found on the special video The Missing Years,
    sold in a box set with The Edge of Destruction for $19.92)

The War Games starring Patrick Troughton (the second regeneration) 10 episodes, 2 tapes, $19.92

Spearhead From Space starring Jon Pertwee (the aftermath of the second regeneration) 90 min. movie form, 1, $12.95 on VHS.
Also now available on DVD in 4-episode form with lots of extras for $24.95.

Planet of the Spiders starring Jon Pertwee (the third regeneration) 6 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Robot starring Tom Baker (the aftermath of the third regeneration) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Logopolis starring Tom Baker (the fourth regeneration) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Castrovalva starring Peter Davison (the aftermath of the fourth regeneration) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Caves of Androzani starring Peter Davison (the fifth regeneration) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95
Also now available on DVD in episode form with lots of extras for $24.95.

The Twin Dilemma starring Colin Baker (the aftermath of the fifth regeneration) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Time and the Rani starring Sylvester McCoy (the sixth regeneration and it's aftermath) 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Doctor Who (the TV Movie) starring Paul McGann (the seventh regeneration and it's aftermath - due to rights issues
between it's three producers, this is unlikely to ever have a video release in North America)

Colin Baker was dismissed between seasons and never got to have a proper goodbye story. His last story was the
14-part The Trial of a Time Lord but it has nothing at all to do with his Doctor's imminent regeneration.

Sylvester McCoy's last full TV story was the last one of the series, Survival, until his appearance for the first 20
minutes of the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie when his Doctor regenerated into Paul McGann's.

THE MULTI-DOCTOR STORIES

The Doctor has crossed his own time-stream to meet some of his other incarnations on three occasions in the TV series.
These are the stories where this happened.

The Three Doctors starring Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton, and William Hartnell. 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Five Doctors starring Peter Davison, Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton, Richard Hurndall, Tom Baker, and
William Hartnell. 100 minute collector's edition movie form, sold with The King's Demons 2 tapes, $19.92
Also now available on it's own on DVD for $24.95 with some extras.

The Two Doctors starring Colin Baker and Patrick Troughton. 3 45-minute episodes, 1 tape, $12.95.

THE GALLIFREY STORIES

These are the stories that took place for the most part on the Doctor's home planet of Gallifrey.

The Deadly Assassin starring Tom Baker (first all-Gallifrey story, introduces much of the Time Lord government and
mythos, and the Matrix, the Time Lords' repository of all knowledge wherein the Doctor fights a mental virtual reality
battle with Keanu Reeves... oh sorry, I mean the Master's henchman) 90 minute movie form, 1 tape, $12.95

The Invasion of Time starring Tom Baker (the Doctor becomes the President of the Time Lords following a situation
left unresolved in The Deadly Assassin). 6 episodes, 2 tapes, $19.92

Arc of Infinity starring Peter Davison (the Time Lords feel they must execute the Doctor to save the universe).
4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Five Doctors starring Peter Davison, Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton, Richard Hurndall, Tom Baker, and
William Hartnell (the 20th anniversary story that takes place in the Death Zone on Gallifrey)
100 minutes, 1 DVD, $24.95 or a VHS release (with The King's Demons) on 2 tapes for $19.92.

Also, most of the tenth episode of the Patrick Troughton story The War Games (10 episodes, 1 tape, $19.92) takes place
on Gallifrey and was in fact the series' first look at it. There is also a glimpse of Gallifrey at the start of the as-yet-unreleased
story Colony in Space, and similar but more extensive scenes in The Three Doctors (4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95) as the
Time Lord government frets over events and brings the two previous Doctors into the present time of the third to help with
the situation.

Also, the trial sequences of The Trial of a Time Lord (14 episodes, 3 tapes, $34.92) take place on board a Gallifreyan
space station, and another virtual reality battle inside the Matrix is fought in the final two episodes.

CHARACTER AND STORY ARCS

Most Doctor Who stories are contained within themselves, with few connections to the previous stories. On a few
occasions, however, there have been character or story arcs flowing through several consecutive stories. Here's a list
of those arcs:

The Beginning - Character Arc

Many consider the first three stories of the series to be a strong character arc as the Doctor and Susan take Ian and
Barbara away into time and space. The characters start out with a frisson that doesn't really calm down until the end
of the third story. These are:

An Unearthly Child starring William Hartnell 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Daleks starring William Hartnell 7 episodes, 2 tapes, $19.92

The Edge of Destruction starring William Hartnell 2 episodes, sold in a two-tape set that also contains the unused
pilot version of the first episode of An Unearthly Child where you can see how the characters were first set up with
even more hostility. The set also includes the special video The Missing Years. 2 tapes, $19.92

The Doctor's Exile / UNIT - Story Arc

At the end of the Second Doctor's era, in The War Games, the Doctor was captured by the Time Lords, found guilty of
interfering in the affairs of other peoples and planets, but given a lenient sentence where he was exiled to 20th century Earth.
Once there he became the Scientific Advier to the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (UNIT), a paramilitary organization
set up to deal with new and deadly threats to mankind, like alien invasions and mad scientists. UNIT was first seen in the
Second Doctor 8-part story The Invasion, and the Doctor had first met it's commanding officer, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
in the now-mostly-missing story The Web of Fear (though he was only a colonel then). On certain occasions during the exile,
the Time Lords would also send the Doctor on a mission for them to some other planet and time. His exile is fully lifted just over
three seasons later in The Three Doctors. All of the stories between The War Games and The Three Doctors are part of this
story arc, though some deal with the exile more directly than others. Following his exile, the Doctor would continue to pay visits
to his UNIT friends until a little while after his third regeneration, where he gradually began to stay away. The last regular
appearance of UNIT troops was in The Seeds of Doom, however the full UNIT arc really ends at about the point he leaves
Sarah Jane Smith, whom he'd met while at UNIT, back on Earth in The Hand of Fear and heads home to Gallifrey for
The Deadly Assassin.

UNIT's commanding officer, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, would return after having retired in the Fifth Doctor story
Mawdryn Undeadand again in The Five Doctors. He returns briefly to active service at the head of UNIT for the
Seventh Doctor story Battlefield.

The Master's Dalek Plan - Story Arc

Two stories in the middle of the 10th season were linked together to form a 12-part epic tale of rising unrest between
Earth's space empire and that of rival power Draconia. Both sides are being manipulated by the Master, as seen in
Frontier in Space, who in turn is working for the Daleks, who appear at the end of Frontier and whom the Doctor
then pursues in the following story Planet of the Daleks. Both stories star Jon Pertwee, are 6 episodes long, and
are priced at $19.92.

Metebelis Three - Story Arc

As soon as his exile to Earth was lifted, the Third Doctor's first attempted port of call for himself and Jo in the TARDIS
was a famous blue planet in the Acteon Group called Metebelis Three. He tried and failed to reach it in Carnival of
Monsters.

In The Green Death, three stories later, he takes drastic measures and hard-wires the co-ordinates of Metebelis Three
into the TARDIS' cooridinate programmer and successfully reaches the planet. He doesn't stay long, as it's a much more
hostile place than he remembers, but whilst there he does nab a fantasic blue crystal that has strange healing powers for
the mind of anyone who stares into it for any length of time. It becomes crucial to the events of the rest of the story (set
on Earth), and at the end of the story, he presents it to Jo as a wedding present.

In Planet of the Spiders, she returns the crystal to him, just in time for it to be hunted by future inhabitants of Metebelis
Three: psychic giant spiders. The tussle over the crystal and it's power takes the Doctor back to that world, and
ultimately leads to the end of his third life...

Space Station Nerva - Story Arc

Most of the stories in Tom Baker's first season were connected to a single human space station, known as Nerva.

In The Ark in Space (90 minute movie form, 1 tape, $12.95), the TARDIS materializes on board space station Nerva
in the far future, when it serves as a cryogenic repository for a group of survival sleepers who went into hibernation to
wait out solar flares that devastated all life on Earth. At the end of the story, the Doctor, Sarah, and Harry use a transmat
beam to travel to the devastated but now regenerated Earth.... this leads directly into...

The Sontaran Experiment, a 2-part story. At the conclusion of this, the travellers use the transmat again to return to
Nerva and where they left the TARDIS, but in transit their transmat is intercepted by the Time Lords, who send the
Doctor on a special mission back in time, to attempt to avert the creation of the Daleks on Skaro in the 6-part story,
Genesis of the Daleks. The two stories are sold together in a box set on 2 tapes for $19.92.

At the conclusion of that story, the travellers use a Time Ring given to them by the Time Lords to return to Nerva, but
it takes them to an earlier point in it's history than when they left it in the 4-part story, Revenge of the Cybermen
(90 minute movie form, 1 tape, $12.95). The TARDIS catches up with them at the end, bringing with it an emergency
message from Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart back on 20th century Earth that they are needed there. This takes us to...

Terror of the Zygons (4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95), but that's another non-Nerva-related story.

The Key to Time - Story Arc

The six stories comprising the 16th season of the series saw Tom Baker's Doctor searching the universe for the scattered
segments of the Key to Time, one segment per story. He was sent on this quest at the behest of the White Guardian in
order to restore the balance of the universe, and told to watch out for the Black Guardian, who wishes to possess the
key to destroy that balance. The six stories are:

The Ribos Operation starring Tom Baker. 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

universe called E-Space and becoming trapped there. They also introduce a new companion, Adric and write out Romana
and K9. These three stories are sold together as The E-Space Trilogy, 3 stories at 4 episodes each, 3 tapes, $34.92
The stories are titled Full Circle, State of Decay, and Warriors' Gate.

revenge against the Doctor by recruiting a young man named Turlough to his cause who infiltrates the TARDIS crew
as a new companion.

Mawdryn Undead starring Peter Davison. 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Trial of a Time Lord - Story Arc

The entirety of the 14-episode 23rd season of the series was dubbed The Trial of a Time Lord, which saw the
Doctor placed on trial again by the Time Lords for interfering in the affairs of other peoples and planets. It consisted
of three "evidentiary" stories where entire adventures of the Doctor's were played into the court. Each of these lasted
4 episodes. The final 2 episodes of the season concluded the trial itself. The entire season is sold together as
The Trial of a Time Lord starring Colin Baker, 14 episodes, 3 tapes, $34.92

Also, a loveable con-man character named Sabalom Glitz was introduced in this story, and he made a return visit
to the series in the otherwise non-trial related story Dragonfire starring Sylvester McCoy, 3 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Ace Trilogy - Character Arc

Three of the four stories of the final season of the series, the 26th, dealt in much greater detail than usual with the stormy,
dysfunctional past of the Doctor's companion Ace, a tough-nosed 80s urban teenager. These three stories were:

Ghost Light starring Sylvester McCoy, 3 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Curse of Fenric starring Sylvester McCoy, 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Survival starring Sylvester McCoy, 3 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

THE DOCTOR WHO WORK OF THE LATE DOUGLAS ADAMS

In memory and tribute of world-famous Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy author Douglas Adams, who died suddenly
of a heart attack on May 11, 2001, I thought it would add a list of Douglas' script-writing work on Doctor Who to this
section...

Douglas Adams was the single credited writer on the following two stories...

The Pirate Planet starring Tom Baker. 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95 and

Shada starring Tom Baker. 6 uncompleted episodes bridged with narration from Tom Baker. 1 tape, $12.95.

He was also the co-writer of the following story with Producer Graham Williams based on ideas by David Fisher
under the pen name David Agnew:

City of Death starring Tom Baker. 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

Douglas Adams was also the Script Editor during the series' 17th season, meaning he was in effect the head writer,
working with the freelance writers and directing changes and performing rewrites. The stories in the 17th season were...

Destiny of the Daleks starring Tom Baker. 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

the aforementioned City of Death

The Creature from the Pit starring Tom Baker... not yet released on video.

Nightmare of Eden starring Tom Baker. 4 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95

The Horns of Nimon starring Tom Baker... not yet released on video.

and the aforementioned uncompleted story Shada.

Douglas also performed some rewrites on the last story of season 16, The Armageddon Factor, 6 episodes, 1 tape, $12.95.
