Time Ramvent Day 28: Christmas on Androzani Well, we've just seen Peter Capaldi's birth, now let's watch how he dies in 'The Caves of Androzani'. That's right, the grimmest, most depressing story in all of Doctor Who is now a Christmas special! It's all blowholes and bat milk, featuring Helen Mirren as Sharaz Jek!

THE CAVES OF ANDROZANI

[companion-showdown]

Nominations are now open: Which villain would make the best companion?

This tournament is intended to be smaller than usual, so I may be aa little stricter about who qualifies (at least when i'm familiar with the character, which means the EU nominees are going to end up with a lot more leeway)

as some starting rules

You can only nominate actual villains, they must actually be evil, not just dislike/be disliked by the Doctor

They must be an individual (or possibly a small group of individuals), eg you cannot nominate 'a dalek' it must be a specific dalek or daleks you can point to and say that/those ones

No companions, I don't care if they were evil when they met the Doctor or became evil later or were evil the entire time, they cannot already be or have ever been a companion

If there are multiple versions of the same villain (eg because they can regenerate), they will only be included once, either as generically as can be acheived, or a specific one will be chosen through a group stage

If they don't have a name (or you can't remember it) I will do my best to figure it out but try to give me as much context as you can and bare in mind im not psychic

Please bare in mind when you are nominating that I am hoping to keep the number of nominations under 64 to run this as a mini-tournament. This is not a hard rule so if nominations do exceed 64 its not a big deal, just something I'd like everyone to bare in mind (we have now broken 64 so full sized tournament it is

Nominees

The Master (this counts for any and all versions of the Master, a specific one will be chosen during the group stage, I'm preempting their nomination because duh)

Really don't like the mast man. Like really don't like.

I didn't like this story all that much, it was a little boring. It feels empty without Turlough. Like something's missing. I didn't realise this was the story where 5th regenerates! But I'm very excited for Colin Baker as the Doctor. I liked the actual regeneration too! Love that 5's last word was Adric.

(Please don't take these too seriously, I am not a real life reviewer, just someone who likes the show)

[webtrinsic1122]

Me reading the “Caves of Androzani” novelization and noticing a lot less physical comfort from the Doctor to Peri than in the episode, and a lot more of Sharaz Jek grabbing onto Peri

My poor girl.

Doctor Who: The Caves of Androzani

I rewatched this serial on 1 May 2023. 

We begin with the TARDIS arriving on Androzani Minor. Peri’s excited to be there. The Doctor teaches Peri (and the audience) about fused silica. Peri is much less obnoxious now with the Doctor; the Doctor’s keen to explore and explain geological features to her. But, quickly they become embroiled in an altercation between gun-runners and miners from Androzani Major. There’s also nasty creatures that infect the Doctor and Peri with a poison, as well as androids.

Like a fair few Dr Who stories, this serial is highly critical of the capitalism of the type that was becoming entrenched in Pinochet’s Chile, Reagan’s USA and Thatcher’s Britain. Trau Morgus is truly the villain of the piece with his dreadful plan to close factories in one area and force unemployed people to another area to work as free labour, as well as what he did to Sharaz Jek. There’s a moment where Morgus sounds identical to the capitalist rulers in the Sun Makers, another Dr Who story by Robert Holmes. 

Part of the story is riffed off Gaston Leroux’s tale that became the big musical of the 1980s, the Phantom of the Opera, with Sharaz Jek and Peri in the main roles. 

And, in the end, we farewell Peter Davison as the Doctor, and welcome Colin Baker to the role. Of course, Davison has an enduring connection to the series through his own appearances and that of his daughter and son-in-law.

-The flesh boiled, hanging from the bone-

A commission. Christopher Gable as Sharaz Jek from Peter Davison’s final story as Doctor Who. A great challenge and a fascinating character.
