Frankenstein's monster

Frankenstein's Monster was a character from the 1818 novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

In 1996, an android version of Frankenstein's Monster, along with a version of Count Dracula and the Grey Lady, was part of an attraction at the Festival of Ghana. When Daleks in pursuit of the Doctor's TARDIS fired on it, it attacked them. (DW: The Chase) Microsoft would undergo investigation for building such dangerous robots. (EDA: Interference - Book One)

On 30 December 1999, Pete watched the 1931 Frankenstein film featuring the Creature while the Seventh Doctor regenerated in his morgue. After regenerating, the Eighth Doctor was startled by the Creature on Pete's television. (DW: Doctor Who)

Behind the scenes

 * John Maxim played the robot version of Frankenstein's Monster in DW: The Chase (billed simply as "Frankenstein" in the credits).
 * Dave Prowse, who plays a different creature in DW: The Time Monster, played no less than three different versions of Frankenstein's monster in films of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
 * At the time The Chase was broadcast, Microsoft did not exist. It was retconned into being the creator of the android in Interference - Book One.
