Doctor Who: The Juggernauts (#65)
|
|
|
Within a small mining colony on the dark and distant planet of Lethe,
events are occurring the results of which could dramatically affect
things on a universal scale. For within the dingy corridors of the
artificial biosphere, the lone survivor of a devastating crash has
expertly wormed his way into the lives of the colonyıs personnel.
A scientist known as Davros.
Separated from one another across space and time, the Doctor and Mel
find themselves in very different predicaments: Mel has been employed on
Lethe, while the Doctor has been imprisoned aboard an alien spacecraft.
Both situations are inexorably linked, however,and at the apex of the
two sits Davros and the terrifying possibility of a new threat even
more powerful than the Daleks!
Rescuing Mel and stopping Davros should be the Doctor's primary goals,
but could it be that this time, Mel does not wish to be rescued? And
might Davros actually be working on something for the benefit of the
civilised galaxies?

Mel: "Any chance of landing as opposed to crashing?"
The Doctor: "I can't say I'm at all pleased to see you lot. Surprise
party, is it?"
Dalek: "You were not rescued, Doctor. You have been recruited."
Davros: "I questioned the very workings of the universe. I wondered why
so many had died why I survived."
Mel: "Maybe you were meant for greater things."
Brauer: "We're hoping to use the retro design as a selling point. A nod to
the past."
Davros: "Nature had little to do with my evolution. I point the finger of
blame at you for that!"
The Doctor: "Hell hath no fury like a Melanie Bush scorned."
Davros: "There are many who consider my past deeds unforgivable. The only
way for me to escape their castigation was through engineered deception."
The Doctor: "This colony is not a particularly safe place to be right now."
Davros: "You are nothing to me. Just another pawn to push across the
gameboard of my own design."
This is Scott Alan Woodard's
first script for Big Finish, and pits the Sixth Doctor and Mel against
Davros, the Daleks and the Mechanoids (from 1965's First Doctor story
The Chase).
