ESSENTIAL DOCTOR WHO the time warrior


ok
time for another look at a classic doctor who story
so this one i thought who better than the man who gave doctor who that that "spacey" feeling
with bessie the who mobile venusian akido and reversing the polarity of the neutron flow
everyones favorate english gentleman
the one
the only only
the late
the great
mr john pertwee
so i thought id go for the time warrior originally aired between 15th december 1973 -5th january 1974
this was the first time we found out the name of the doctors home planet
the first time we encountered a sontaran
plus the first appearance of everyones favorate companion (not mine) sarah jane smith played by elisabeth sladen


PART ONE

its starts with a light in a medievil sky
a bunch of people are mad that they have not great food and their neighbours have plenty
then they see a bright light
the one man (irongrod) says its his star
the next morning they go into the wood to find it
they find a space ship
and see awarrior with armour
he is a sontaran called linx
he says he needs their help
his ship is in need of repair
but irongrod is not so obliging
linx offers him weapons
in return he wants shelter and people who can help fix his ship
irogrod says that he has no such people
but linx says he wil find them
the next scene we see the doctor being led to a makeshift sleeping quarters by the brigadeer
he tells the doctor that scientists and equipment have vanished
next we wear they have vanished to
the medievil times
with linx
he has them working
one of irongrod men wants to come in
linx refuses
then we see irongrod trying out a gun that linx made for him
back in in the present day the doctor meets an man call professer rubeish
he introdudes her to someone called lavinia smith
but it really turns out to be her journalist niece sarah jane smith
next in medievil times we see a lord and lady (dot cotton) talking about the evils of irongrod
then we see irongrod with a man that his men found in the wood
they found a letter on him
a message on him
then we see sir edward and dot cotton wondering why their messenger hasnt returned
the we see irongrod and linx
irongrod wants to know why linx doesnt show his face
irongrod gets linx to interregate sir edwards messenger
then we see the doctor and the proffeser
the professer dont not trust sarah jane
sarah jane and the doctor talk
they dont really hit it off
then back in time
linx sets to work interregating the messanger
linx unlocks his mind
so irongrod can get the truth
then we see a sleeping doctor woken by a paricle detector
then he and sarah jane discover professer rubish has disapeared
he inform the brigadeer
the doctor tell him he saw a man in armour
he says there a matter transferer sendin people back in time
the doctor gets into the tardis and vanishes
he arrives in the medievil times
unbeknowing to the doctor sarah jane was in the tardis too
a man called hal(boba fett)
attempts to attack irongrod with a bow and arrow
but is interupted by sarah jane irongrods men chase into the forrest
they also capture sarah jane
