Embedded Files
When we last saw Doctor Who, he was small and looked like he might live in a skip. Now he's turned into this guy for a bit.
He's quite striking, isn't he? And he's in colour now, which is a bonus. He's clearly quite startled that it's not in black and white any more. He's hoping there's isn't a test on all the new colours.
Turquoise is the same as lavender, as far as he's concerned.
He's also got a new assistant, since lovely Zoe went away at the end of the last season.
This is Liz. She's positively charged with erotic energy. In this scene, she's going, "I don't care if your name is Doctor Who, this is my collection of wires and if you want to play with them, you'll have to do a dance for me!"
This is Mr. Channing. He's the bad guy for this story. He's awesome. He just stands in places, glaring at nothing, as if challenging the universe to a fight. The universe would be wise not to engage.
The guy behind him wants to know how long Mr. Channing is going to be staring into space like a murderer. The answer is "For as long as he damn well likes!"
Hurray! It's the Brigadier. He's the Doctor's friend from ages ago. He's turned up to see if there's any evil going on. If there is, he'd like to shoot at it with guns.
Liz has come with him and is looking around to see if there is anyone she'd like to take back for experiments.
Mr. Channing is hiding in the background, pretending to be 'not-evil'. He's quite alarmed at how confident the Brigadier is. Fighting the universe is one thing, but look at how cockily this guy is wearing his beret! Best not mess.
In the woods nearby, there are monsters. They are called Autons and they are utterly horrifying.
Look at their faces! If you met one of these in the woods, you would do a wee, right there and then.
Autons are made of plastic. That's their main thing. It's not much of a disguise in the woods, I'll grant you
Doctor Who and Liz do some experiments to find out about the Autons. The Brigadier has come to chat to them about how awesome he is.
Neither of them want to know. They want to do experiments. They wish he'd go away.
Liz wants to bite Doctor Who's ear, just to see what he'd do. And maybe to see what it tastes like. She's a minx!
This guy goes to the plastic factory where the Autons live. I think he used to work there or something, and now he's wondering why the place is full of plastic murderer guys.
These dolls are not murderers. I don't think. I hope not. That would be too terrifying to even contemplate.
The Brigadier is still trying to help. You can tell from his face that he's having a lovely time in this adventure.
It doesn't even bother him that Liz clearly wants him to go away. He finds it charming. I think he's just glad that Doctor Who is back. He's like his best friend.
Here's that Auton again.
He's having a moment of quiet contemplation. He's wondering if there's an Auton afterlife. And, if there is, do phones and pens and things get to go there?
And will he even be allowed in, what with all the murdering he keeps doing?
The Brigadier has decided to attack the Autons with guns. This is his response to all things. He doesn't realise this, though. He thinks this is a fresh take.
He's saying, "You know what, Captain? I think this calls for attacking the aliens with guns."
The Captain knew he would say this, because he always says it. But he pretends to be surprised anyway. It's nice when the Brigadier is happy, and he doesn't want to spoil it.
The Brigadier goes hunting for Mr. Channing. He finds him, hiding behind this door. However, Mr. Channing presents such a terrifying countenance that the Brigadier pretends to fall asleep until he goes away.
Later, the Brigadier will tell everyone that the Autons were out, and maybe they've just gone away altogether.
The Autons launch their big attack.
Because they are plastic, they can hide in shops. This is a top idea, and surprises everyone big time.
These Autons are delighted at how well the surprise has worked. Their hands have come off, too, and there are guns inside.
Say what you like about the autons, but they've got a distinctive modus operandi.
And here's some more.
This is a great bit of the story. I wish it would go on for ages.
Doctor Who defeats the Autons by wresting with their boss. Not Mr. Channing - he's just middle management, as it turns out, and his face melts off. This big tentacley thing is the boss.
Doctor Who does not appear to be winning the fight, does he? But then he cheats and uses some kind of machine, and the Auton boss shrivels up in sadness.
This was a very enjoyable story. Everyone had a lovely time and the monsters were top
