Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment

I rewatched this serial of two parts on 1 March 2023. Happy St David’s day, folx. Oh, and happy 48th anniversary of the first screening on the BBC of part two of this story.

Our heroes arrive on a windswept moor and the Doctor gets to work on repairing the transmat for the people on Nerva Beacon. He tells Sarah and Harry to go wandering — a first! — and of course things are not what they seem. There are astronauts, and a robot, and an alien in the rocks torturing the humans. It’s not long before the alien is revealed to be a Sontaran. This one is Styre, who is experimenting on humans in ways reminiscent of Nazi war crimes.

Fun fact: almost all of the astronauts are played by white South Africans. One of them, Glyn Jones, has the distinction of writing the 1965 Doctor Who serial The Space Museum.

Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment

Season Twelve ✨ 1974 - 1975 ✨

Doctor: 4th

Story Length: 2 Episodes

Companions: Sarah-Jane and Harry

Main Setting: Earth 16087

Main Enemy: Field Major Styre

Creatures: Sontaran

My Personal Rating: 3/10

So, don't get me wrong, I like the Sontarans, a lot actually. But they're so useless it's hilarious. I thoroughly enjoy watching them bumble about being evil little potatoes, but do they ever really succeed at anything other than being angry? No. I'd love to meet a Sontaran and laugh at them, they're just silly potatoes. I liked this story anyways, it was rather short though, only two episodes.

(Please don't take these too seriously, I am not a real life reviewer, just someone who likes the show)

The Pirate Planet

Synopsis

The Doctor and Romana learn the second segment of the Key to Time is on the planet Calufrax. Yet they arrive on a planet called Zanak, which has been hollowed out and fitted with hyperspace engines, allowing its insane, half-robot Captain to materialise it around smaller planets and plunder their resources.

Propaganda

its so good, its really funny, the captain and his lackey are a sight to behold, and the key to time really adds to it in a way most other parts of the season don’t manage (anonymous)

The Fourth Doctor Adventures - Series 6, Episode 2 - The Eternal Battle

Latest Review: Tom Baker (The Doctor), Lalla Ward (Romana)  John Leeson (K9)  Dan Starkey(Field Major Lenk/Sergeant Major Stom)  Jane Slavin (Captain Nina Albiston/Sycon Computer)  John Banks (Brennan/Trooper Varn) Producer David Richardson Script Editor John Dorney Executive Producers Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nicholas Briggs Written By: Cavan Scott and Mark Wright Directed By: Nicholas Briggs This review contains spoilers! Sontaran zombie eat flesh! Now, if that short sentence doesn't send a thrill down your spine, I don't know what will. The Eternal Battle finds the Doctor, Romana and K9 aiming the TARDIS for the Lake District, where the Doctor wants to go and visit (much to Romana's joy) a pencil museum. However, they find themselves stranded on an alien no mans land, in the midst of a great war, a war that nobody involved seems to really know quite how long has has been raging (here is a small clue faithful DWN reader: the story is called THE ETERNAL WAR). Our space and time traveling trio are saved from certain death by a rather large Sontaran tank, the occupants of, when they find out that they have rescued the Doctor, insist on killing the enemy of the Sontarans there and then. Can the Doctor sweet talk himself out of this one? Of course he can. Before you can say "Probic vent" there is an uneasy truce between the Doctor and the Sontarans as he strives to help them in a rather strange war against humans.....and undead Sontarans. Just to make things matters worse, the TARDIS has rather handily gone missing, and Romana and K9 are trapped in a bunker with a dying Sontaran (the zombie rules are pretty standard - in this story, you die, then come back hungry for flesh). I really enjoyed The Eternal Battle. What a great idea to have the Sontarans, the greatest warriors in the universe, fighting undead versions of themselves, whose masses will only grow as more Sontarans die in  battle. Brilliant. Plus, just to complicate matters more, the dead humans turn into zombies as well.  The writers Cavan Scott and Mark Wright have really struck gold here, with a fantastically original spin on rejuvenating an old foe. As the art work on the cover suggests, these are classic seriesl Sontarans, two of whom, in the extras, Dan Starkey himself says are based on Linx from The Time Warrior and Styre from The Sontaran Experiment, the similarities to those two classic characters are very evident, especially in the calculating way that they react to a situation. Scott and Wright have truly taken the Sontarans back to their roots, away from the more comedic characters that they have become. Talking of Dan Starkey, he really does steal the show. He has perfected Sontarans in a way that Nicholas Briggs has done with perfecting the daleks. I have absolutely no problem at all with Strax, the Sontaran that Starkey plays in New Who, I think his comic timing is absolutely spot on - but here he proves that he can play old school. Of course Tom Baker, Lalla Ward and John Leeson come across as if they are having a whale of a time, and this carries into the story's extras. Ward seems particularly overjoyed to have her version of Romana finally meeting the famous 'Potato Heads'. As always the trio of leads play off of each other very well, creating some classic moments (Romana's enthusiasm for the pencil museum is indeed a classic moment that would have been at home in any of her televised episodes) The rest of the cast, most notably Big Finish stalwarts Jane Slavin and John Banks are all excellent also. Directed by Nicholas Briggs himself, The Eternal Battle is a joy to listen to. A thrilling ride that I would definitel, most highly recommend.   The Eternal Battle is available now from Big Finish.   http://reviews.doctorwhonews.net/2017/02/the_fourth_doctor_adventures_series_6_episode_2_the.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr
