Doctor Who - The Monthly Adventures #269 Shadow of the Daleks 1
by Jonathan Morris, Simon Guerrier, Dan Starkey, and James Kettle
Published 30 November 2020
This is the first in a story split across two releases (to be followed by Shadow of the Daleks 2 releasing December 2020) recorded and produced entirely during the Covid-19 lockdown. Together, the two releases make up a 'mini-season' for Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor as he is caught up in the Time War. Each part contains four one-episode adventures, in which the Doctor lands in different times, different places and keeps meeting the same faces, but as different people. 1. Aimed at the Body by James Kettle. An encounter with a notorious cricketing legend should be right up the Doctor's street, but the unexpected appearance of an old enemy is about to send the Doctor on a quest. 2. Lightspeed by Jonathan Morris. The trail has led the Doctor to a spaceship in the far future - where he finds himself trapped in the middle of a terrifying revenge plot. 3. The Bookshop at the End of the World by Simon Guerrier. It's very easy to forget yourself and get lost in a bookshop. But in some bookshops more than most... 4. Interlude by Dan Starkey. The play's the thing! Or is it? The Doctor is roped into a theatrical spectacular - but who is he really performing to? CAST: Peter Davison (The Doctor), Nicholas Briggs (The Daleks), Dervla Kirwan (Mrs Calderwood/Yost McCormack/DI Wright/Anna-Maria), Anjli Mohindra (Flora/Kathy Dafoe/Madeleine Williams/Bianca), Jamie Parker (Douglas/Monsignor Plummer/Frank Reichenbach/Virgilio), Glen McCready (Orson/Elroy Dale/Captain). Other parts played by members of the cast.
Book 274
The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Turlough to a high-tech scientific installation on the planet Testament in the distant future. The human race have become intergalactic buccaneers, thanks to their ability to generate vast amounts of power for long distance travel. Testament is the source of that power - and the Doctor has never quite understood how it works.
But experiments are underway on Testament - experiments with potentially explosive and devastating consequences. And even the Doctor may be too late to stop it. With politicians and bureaucrats getting in the way, the race is on. Not to stop a
disaster - but to save as many people as possible. CAST: Peter Davison (The Doctor), Mark Strickson (Vislor Turlough), Rakie Ayola (Violet Hardaker), Lynsey Murrell (Ellison/Fionn), Raj Ghatak (Horobin/Bradley), Donna Berlin (Montgomery/Prime Minister). Other parts played by members of the cast.
