Killing Time is the next in the series for me; I'm currently on part 4 of the previous box set and it's wonderful. Sir Derek is fabulous. #DoctorWho
#doctorwho

Yay I’m listening to my second favourite #WarMaster box set, “Killing Time” - i know that sounds like a backhanded compliment but #MasterOfCallous is practically a whole level to itself in excellence - my favourite aspect is the interplay with Calantha, but the guest appearances of Jo and Nyssa also work incredibly well. It doesn’t feel like the overplayed #BigFinish tactic of chucking random characters together.

I’ve said it before (I’ll definitely say it again) but I do love me the misery of the war master being a fiendish, machiavellan, magnificent bastard. #DoctorWho

Davros, creator of the Daleks, first appeared 50 years ago OTD in Part 1 of the classic 1975 story: Genesis of the Daleks. Davros would go on to become one of the greatest adversaries the Doctor has ever known. #DoctorWho

When I first got into the show in 1985, none of the stories with the first two actors who played the Doctor were available and some third Doctor stories were even lost. That's what was available to PBS during that time, which aired the series in the U.S. Fans learned about the early stories through nonfiction books which were written about the show, as well as novelizations of those early episodes. At the time, none of those books were available in the U.S. so I had to learn from a sighted friend of mine. Eventually, videos of some early stories, including the pilot, were found and my local PBS station began airing them in September of 1985. I later found a source for bootlegged audios of the early stories before most were officially released. Now, most of the books are available in accessible format but thee '80s and '90s were frustrating times to be a blind DW fan. #DoctorWho.

That's understandable. Perhaps I can be of service. 😊
The main character is an alien known only as the Doctor. He comes from a race of beings from the planet Gallifrey, some of whom refer to themselves as time lords. They have ships which can travel anywhere in time and space on any planet but the time lords have a strict noninterference policy, a bit like Star Trek's prime directive but much stricter. The Doctor left Gallifrey because he wanted to get involved in the affairs of other planets to help fight injustices, which is a no-no to the time lords. He stole one of their ships and that is his home as well as how he travels. The ship is called a Tardis, which stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. While it can fly, it typically travels by dematerializing from one place and then rematerializing at its destination.
It is significantly bigger on the inside than on the outside. The outside of the ship is supposed to blend in withh its surroundings so, as an example, if the ship materialized in an office it might resemble a filing cabinet. However, the chameleon circut, which causes the ship's outer shell to change shape, got stuck after the first episode and always resembles a British police call box.
Each story is another adventure with the Doctor. He often travels with one or two friends, usually referred to as companions, that he picks up during his travels.
And now you understand Doctor Who. Happy to help.

Are you a Doctor Who fan? I can think of a few episodes that take place in a school, including the pilot, an Unearthly Child, from 1963. Also, School Reunion, Caretaker and the two-parter Human Nature/Family of Blood. Of course, you know I had to mention Doctor Who episodes. 😊

Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of The Greatest Enemies of the Universe (Doctor Who Ser. #72)
by George Mann
For the first time, the never-before-told history of the Doctor’s most dangerous enemy, the Daleks, from their genesis thousands of years ago to their conquest of the universe.Doctor Who: Dalek, is the one and only volume devoted solely to the history of the Doctor’s greatest enemy. The Daleks, with their watchword cry "Exterminate!", are a race of cyborg aliens single-mindedly determined to conquer the universe and end all life forms they consider inferior. First appearing on Doctor Who in 1963, the Daleks are among the show’s most popular villains. Reminiscent of human-sized pepper shakers, the external mechanical casing of the Dalek protects a soft, repulsive creature whose electronic voice is reduced to a squeak when outside of its shell.Doctor Who: Dalek chronicles the Daleks’ genesis through the Time War and their ongoing conquest of the universe. Here are never-before-told stories about these legendary creatures—including terrifying near-mythical adventures, startling visual recreations of secret conflicts, and more. Each story sheds new light on what has become the most feared alien race in the universe.With a foreword by showrunner Steven Moffat, full-color illustrations, concept art, cutaways, diagrams, comic strips and more, Doctor Who: Dalek is the ultimate celebration of all things Dalek and a must have for devoted Whovians of every age.

I'm not a Doctor Who obsessive but I enjoy it from time to time. The Internet does seem a bit buzzing with rumours of Ncuti leaving, Tennant returning (again) & heaven knows what.
I'm sure RTD is realising that it's harder to satisfy the telly watching public these days compared to 2005 #DoctorWho

Doctor Who: A Brief History of Time Lords
by Steve Tribe
From deep within the world of Doctor Who comes this revealing history of the planet Gallifrey, its notable figures, and the Last Great Time War.The planet Gallifrey was the birthplace of one of the oldest and most powerful civilizations in the universe: The Time Lords. From their technologies and strategies to the renegades like the Master and the Doctor himself, Doctor Who: A Brief History of Time Lords is the definitive guide to their shrouded and often contradictory history. They invented black holes, transmits, stellar manipulators—and then they atrophied. A bunch of elderly academics in funny hats, the Time Lords watched the whole history of creation. This was the civilization that inflicted some of its most renowned and deadly renegades and criminals on the universe: the Master, the Rani, the Monk, the War Chief, yet it was also the benevolent power that rid the cosmos of the Great Vampires, the Racnoss and the Fendahl.Featuring full-color, never-before-seen illustrations, this is an in-world companion no Whovian can be without.
