The sixty-third instalment of Doctor Who? was printed in DWM 127 with a cover date of August 1987.
Summary[]
Susan talks with Peri about her life after the show.
Characters[]
Worldbuilding[]
- Susan says that, since leaving the show in '64, she has only been offered the parts of screaming teenagers with weak ankles.
- Peri says she has only been offered the parts of bass baritone bald headed mindless women since leaving.
- Adric comments that "they think they've got problems" because his situation is far more dire.
Notes[]
- This story marks the first and only appearance of Adric in the Doctor Who? series, albeit in a joking fashion set after his supposed death in Earthshock from his point of view. He made a similar appearance in The History Tour's In the Beginning, also by Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett.
- Susan's comment about ankles refers to a plot point in her final regular television story The Dalek Invasion of Earth, in which she sprains it soon after leaving the TARDIS. Peri's baldness and mindlessness also references her final story, Mindwarp, in which Lord Kiv transferred his consciousness into her body.
