rich_jackoWow, has it really been nearly a year since I last hosted a Doctor Who evening? How about another one next Saturday, 20th January, featuring a double bill of stories written by the late, great Douglas Adams and starring the living legend that is Tom Baker? How about if one of those stories features a Doctor with a metal dog pitted against a Pirate Captain with a metal parrot, and the other features a strange alien book (but not that one), possibly the most dangerous book in the universe? Sound good?
5pm: The Pirate Planet
Searching for the missing segments which make up the Key to Time, the Doctor and Romana arrive on the planet Zanak. Although priceless gems are scattered on the streets, and the night sky changes with the dawn of each prosperous new age, the townsfolk live in fear. For in a fortress overlooking the city, the terrifying Pirate Captain is in control of the most destructive force in the galaxy...
7:30pm: Shada
When Chris Parsons borrows a book from an elderly university professor, he is surprised to find it written in a strange alien language. Chris is about to enter a world of invisible spaceships, monsters made of molten rock and computers that can talk. He'll also meet a man with a very long scarf who claims he can travel through time and space... in a police box. The missing scenes from this "abandoned" story were completed in 2017 with new animation and voice recording from the original cast.
