Doctor Who Tardis Tea Pot, DR182

Product Information

William Hartnell burst onto British screens November 23rd 1963 as the first incarnation of the doctor. At first reluctant to take a role in a children's series, he was eventually persuaded and played a mysterious Doctor of whom little was known about. Hartnell described his character as a cross between the Wizard of Oz and Father Christmas. When I originally listened to this audio I had recently finished studying Macbeth at school which was quite funny and with that context in mind.. I feel this story is a bit confusing at first but has some really good moments. I think the characters were a little strong which was surprising considering the fact I do not feel the same way about some of the characters within the play Macbeth. I really enjoyed the 2nd half the most though that is where the highlights undeniably are. 7/10 Jonathan has also made his mark on Broadway, dazzling audiences with his famous performance as King George III in Hamilton, where he was nominated for not only a Tony Award, but also a Primetime Emmy Award for the live stage recording.

This was a fairly solid and enjoyable story that works well, it's a little dark in places with themes of abuse and brutality, with some of the characters being some of the evilest humanity has to offer but the two maids were such a delight and Christopher Eccleston, as usual, is on his a game! 7/10 In November 1969, James Stevens interviewed him for the Daily Chronicle. Stevens believed that people thought that Kettlewell was a mad scientist because he looked just like one. However, he considered him to be "a fascinating speaker, once he got over his own nervousness". ( PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)There's a strong anti-greed message here and a criticism of politicians that those of a particular political bent will likely find frustrating (it's hard not to see some of this as a dig at Liz Truss's premiership - until you realise it was written before that happened). In fact, it fits in perfectly well with the sort of thing that Doctor Who has always done and as much a part of its tradition as invading aliens... but if it's not an element you appreciate, then, in fairness, it can be quite blunt in this particular story. If you do, though, it's a great tilt at corporate misdeeds and uncaring bureaucracy. The Ice Warriors are the original inhabitants of Mars, they are a noble warrior race who take pride in battle and glory. The latest appearance of this enemy was found on a Russian submarine during the cold war, when the formidable leader attempted to push the red button. Thankfully the Doctor and Clara were there to save the day. History created through fiction. As some of the best historicals in the franchise's history, John Dorney cleverly uses this story to explain why the Machine Man is called that, even though it looks like a woman (and it makes perfect sense, honestly) as well as how Gustav Fröhlich came to land the leading part. These burns typically take 2–3 weeks to heal. Sometimes a person needs a skin graft to treat them. Second-degree burns often leave a scar, which may fade over several years. Third-degree burn Monsters in Metropolis by John Dorney rounds out the boxset. It features the Doctor arriving on the set of Metropolis in 1925 where the famous machine woman has been replaced by a Cyberman. It sounds straightforward, but there are depths to this. I’ll admit that I’ve never seen Metropolis, so a lot of the nuance when relating to the film is lost on me. That said, this was still an exciting, and surprisingly emotional story that kept me hooked the whole way through. Without giving too much away, this feels a little like Dalek in that it delves into the Cyberman as a character. The inter-war German setting of the story allows for some interesting opaque references to the Time War and the Doctor’s healing versus healing and feelings of post-War German sentiment. All said, this is a great Doctor Who story, a great Ninth Doctor story and, if you’re a film buff, a good story about film history. Rating: 10/10

The second story is The Curse of Lady Macbeth by Lizzie Hopley takes the historical characters from Shakespeare’s play and adds the Doctor and an alien creature. Looking into Scottish folklore and history, this was a enjoyable story that I could again see as part of Series 1. I’ve never read, listened to, or watched MacBeth, so I’m quite short on familiarity. That said, this was enjoyable, straight-forward and wrapped up well. Rating: 8/10 It can cause serious infections and may even be fatal if a person does not receive treatment. Immersion in boiling water for a prolonged period can cause a third-degree burn. It's also by far Ken Bentley's most impressive piece of direction yet and the sound design and score are incredible as well. A first-degree burn, or a superficial burn, is relatively minor. It only damages part of the first layer of skin, called the epidermis. I also really liked the dynamic of Five and Turlough in this story. This is from the time at the end of S21 when they are having adventures alone, and you can clearly see that the bond between them has deepened, with Five being outright distraught for more than one episode when he is told that Turlough has allegedly died in the explosion caused by the accident, the inicial scene also acting as an additional stab in the feels with the reference to the companions he has formerly lost (an excellent characterization that is a refreshing change in contrast to the horrid treatment of Turlough's graphic torture and assault and the infuriating resulting emotional disconnect from the Doctor in books such as The King of Terror).

This story is so much fun, messy, but fun. The clashing of history, mythology and sci-fi makes for such an unpredictable story with an amazing atmosphere, which would be nothing but dressing if not for the incredibly well written characters, properly great drama and intense set pieces. I also felt that 9 specifically really shone through here, there's a subtle intensity that just feels right. Sure, the plot gets lost in the magic of it all sometimes, but it still comes together in the end. Or it could just be the accents, god I love the Scottish accent. The topic of profit over human (and alien native) life is repeteadly highlighted amid the social criticism themes of this story, and colonialism and classism are also strongly featured throughout. It's very refreshing that the most honourable politician characters happen to be members of the native species of the colonized planet, and activists against the capitalist system are also given positive characterizations. This is the "Dalek" of the 9DA series 1 and does it compare? In my opinion... yes. The cyberman is strong, it evokes fear and subverts expectations the best way possible. Monster in Metropolis has a brilliant setting, decent supporting characters and I really like the interactions within the story but by far the best bit is (major spoiler) when the ninth doctor watches the film with the cyberman and it requests to be killed. I feel if you are going to buy a boxset for the ninth doctor and cyberman interactions and you are torn between Lost Warriors and Old Friends I have to recommend this set just because of Monsters in Metropolis. 9/10

Jonathan Groff (Chad Meyer) I am so thrilled to jump into the extraordinary mind of Russell T Davies and watch the incredible Ncuti Gatwa soar in this iconic role! — Jonathan Groff A classic base under siege in a historical setting; take a Second Doctor base under siege story but drop it in an RTD era setting, and you have this story. In the emergency room, a doctor will assess the burn and determine whether it needs treatment. A person may need antibiotics or intravenous — IV — fluids. Skin grafts can repair the damaged area after a severe burn.

The one he invented - Banana Daiquiri

Kettlewell did not file the patents for K1's CPU, which was modelled on human neural pathways, or the living metal from which the robot was constructed prior to his death. His direct descendants included a 27th century failed writer and historian named Ethan Kalwell and his daughter Elise. ( AUDIO: The Relics of Jegg-Sau)
