Famine Appeal was a SOAP appeal broadcast in 1986, where Colin Baker appeared as the Doctor.
This scene would actually become Colin Baker’s final appearance as the incumbent Doctor as it aired after The Ultimate Foe, but before Sylvester McCoy took over in Time and the Rani.
Synopsis[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor urges the viewers to donate and help with the famine in Ethiopia.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
We join the Doctor in an unknown fairground-like location, who proceeds to greet the audience. He takes on a sombre tone as he compares the evils he fights as minescule in comparison to the injustice of world hunger. The Doctor then urges the audience to provide money in order to prevent hunger and save lives, in which case he would acknowledge them as his friend. He then vanishes as the clip ends.
