In-Flight Entertainment was one of a series of online comic strips posted to the BBC's Doctor Who website. The comic strips were created using an online tool called Comic Maker, and the art consisted of images based upon the 2005-present Doctor Who revival. The BBC asked a number of professional Doctor Who writers to submit stories.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones receive a distress call from New Earth where the Cybermen and Judoon have joined forces to catalogue all the humans on the planet.

Characters[[edit] | [edit source]]

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The Cybermen only upgrade humans.
  • The Macra have a "new career" cleaning up the city's pollution.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Story writer Lindsey Alford is the only contributor to the BBC Writers' Comics series who had not previously either written for the TV series or for one of the literary spin-off lines. Alford instead was a script editor on the series.
  • Due to the limits of Comic Maker some familiar models are used for items:

Cyberman stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.

Judoon stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Judoon story" is one in which one living, authentic Judoon plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Timeless Children are absent due to the Judoons' only contribution being references to past Judoon stories. Stories like The End of Time, The Pandorica Opens and A Good Man Goes to War are also not included due to the Judoons' cameos being of no consequence to the plot of the story.
