This is a work of non-fiction.

Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.

Publisher's summary[]

'I am an expert at war, Irongron.'

This Black Archive looks at how the US involvement in Vietnam combined with author Robert Holmes's experience of the Second World War in Burma and consciousness of Britain's imperial decline to create Doctor Who's first Sontaran, Linx.

It also explores how the serial's medievalism invoked a shared cultural memory of Gothic and Romantic literature and cinema to launch not only one of the series' most enduring alien races but also one of its best-loved heroines, Sarah Jane Smith.
