The One Doctor
From The Back Cover...

When the evil Skelloids launch an attack upon the seventeen worlds of the Generios system, its peace-loving inhabitants face total destruction.

So it's fortunate that the famous traveller in time and space known only as the Doctor is in the area, and doubly lucky that, with the help of his pretty young assistant, Sally-Anne, he manages to defeat the deadly creatures and save the day.

But now it looks as though the Doctor¹s luck has run out.

Who is the mysterious, curly-haired stranger who insists on causing trouble? What role does the feisty redhead Melanie play in his scheme? And what have they to do with the sinister alien cylinder approaching Generios?

One thing is certain: for the Doctor and Sally-Anne, there's deadly danger ahead ...

Memorable Quotes

The Doctor: 'I just wish sometimes people could sort their problems out all by themselves. I mean, why does it always have to be me!'

Citizen Sokkery: 'Anyway, I've spent quite long enough talking to you to. There's a conga over there with my name on it!'

The Doctor: 'Look at that Mel! It's definitely not me!' Mel: 'How can you be so sure?' The Doctor: 'Well I've assumed several guises over the centuries but always maintained an essential air of Olympian dignity. Look at this buffoon!' Mel: 'He looks all right to me.' The Doctor: 'All right? All right! Florid complexion, nose like a mulberry, and his figure is positively rotund!' Mel: 'You're not exactly sylph like.' The Doctor: 'There is a difference between being big boned and being portly!'

Mel: 'These corridors all look the same.' The Doctor: 'No, not to a corridor veteran like me.'

The Doctor: 'I am the one and only, and there's nobody I'd rather be!'

The Doctor: 'If he's a Time Lord, then I am Marie of Romania!'

Citizen Sokkery: 'Do you mind keeping the noise down up there, there's people down here trying to have a party!'

The Doctor: 'When science stumbles, force has a certain finesse.'

Mel: 'Believe me when I'm scared, I'll scream the paint off the wall!'

Banto: 'At least I never made my Doctor such a pompous bore!'
