Doctor Who In Australia
''Doctor Who'' in Australia refers to the history and culture surrounding the British Broadcasting Corporation science fiction programme ''Doctor Who'' since its first broadcast in Australia in January 1965. From its origins Australians have had many links to ''Doctor Who'': two Australian writers played key roles in the series' gestation – C.E. "Bunny" Webber and Anthony Coburn, Coburn having worked on the pre-production and first story; the iconic Doctor Who theme music was written by Australian musician Ron Grainer; one-time Australian ballet composer Dudley Simpson wrote incidental music for many stories during the 1960s and 1970s; and the actress Janet Fielding played popular companion Tegan in the 1980s. Additionally, the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) was one of the first and longest term purchasers of the series from the BBC, initially planning its Australian debut for May 1964, only six months after the UK premiere. In 1979 the ABC organised a nationwide p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Phoenix Five
''Phoenix Five'' is an Australian science fiction television series which first screened on the ABC in 1970. It was later also screened on the Seven Network. It was part of a trilogy and followed on from the six part serial ''The Interpretaris'' in 1966 and seven part serial '' Vega 4'' in 1968. However, it had 26 standalone episodes produced to make it viable as a syndicated series. Each of the series had different crews and casts but took place in the same future and used the same space organisation and miniatures, much as ''Star Trek'' did in the '80s and '90s, thus making it the first TV sci-fi franchise. Plot The series was set in the year 2500 AD and followed the adventures of the crew of the galactic patrol ship Phoenix Five, "the most sophisticated craft in the Earth Space Control Fleet." This handpicked team consisted of Captain Roke, a typical heroic Kirk-style commander with a solution to every problem; Ensign Adam Hargraves, his stalwart young second-in-command alway ...

For example, they travel from St. Oswald's 1940 to the Antarctic 1990 in one journey through the barrier.

Second Doctor
The Second Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''. He was portrayed by actor Patrick Troughton. While the Troughton era of ''Doctor Who'' is well-remembered by fans and in that era's ''Doctor Who'' literature, it is difficult to appraise in full; of his 119 episodes, 53 remain missing. Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. At the end of life, the Doctor regenerates; as a result, the physical appearance and personality of the Doctor changes. The transformation into the Second Doctor (originally referred to as a "renewal"), a figure who was the same 'essential' character as the first but with a very different persona, was a turning point in the evolution of the series, and eventually became a critical element of the series' longevity. Troughton's Doctor was an outwa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
