The Orphans of the Polyoptra is the second episode of the video game Doctor Who Infinity. It was released for iOS, Android, and PC and Mac computers.

Katy Manning returned to voice Jo Grant, and also provided the voice of the Zarbi Supremo.

Official summary[]

The story, as told in flashback by Jo Jones to her nephew in the style of a classic Doctor Who 4-part story arc, begins at the height of World War 2 as the Third Doctor and Jo find themselves trapped in what appears to be a German bombing in a small mining town.

Here they meet a young orphan girl and her strange companion, who are not at all what they appear to be, and who desperately need their help to travel back to 1842, to a time when the local children still faced the treacherous danger of daily work in the mines.

Story notes[]

  • This story is intended to take place shortly after the events of the television story The Three Doctors: Jo mentions Omega and the fact that the Doctor has only recently gotten his freedom back.

Worldbuilding[]

  • Jo recounts her adventure against the Zarbi Supremo to her grandchildren, including Santiago Jones and Lima, while riding a barrel down the Iguazu Falls.
  • Jo claims that cows are responsible for more deaths than sharks.
  • When mentioning times he's encountered Zarbi under the control of others, the Doctor recalls the Animus and the Skirkons.
  • Jo is wearing the ring given to her by King Peladon of Peladon. It holds sentimental value to her.
